From an idea borrowed from elsewhere. Set your MP3 (or 4) player to random play, then list the first ten tracks it plays for you. From this rate yourself as follows (we can fine tune this as we go along):
1*: one track minded - >50% the same band
2*: superior one track minded - ten different bands but all of the same genre
3*: mildly musically tolerant - ten different bands some of the same genre, but a second random test has at least of 1 those bands come up again.
4*: somewhat eclectic - ten different bands that don't appear on a second round of randomness, totalling no more than 5 different genres.
5*: really eclectic - ten different bands that don't appear on a second round of randomness, totalling more than 5 different genres and including one genre from classical, reggae, punk, rap, world music, traditional anglo-celtic folk .
 NEW RULE : the WCS Rule: i.e.the worst set of 10 tracks from 2 generated, counts!!Please publish your random ten and give yourself a star rating ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

Oceansize - Rinsed - Psychedelic The Seven Mile Journey - Theme for the Elthenbury Massacre - Post Transit - Long Song - Post VDGG - Lifetime - Eclectic Amon Duul II - Syntelman's March of the Roaring Seventies: Pull Down Your Mask - Krautrock PF - A Saucerful of Secrets - Pyschedelic Marillion - Blind Curve/Vocal Under a Bloodkight/Pssing Strangers/Mylo/Perimeter Wa - Neo Dun - Bitonio - Zeuhl Pineapple Thief - What Have We Sown? - Crossover Jethro Tull - Cold Wind to Valhalla - Prog Folk I guess that is better than a 4**** (more than 5 genres) but not quite a 5***** (does not include rap, punk, etc.) Cool idea. |

Living In The Past - Jethro Tull (pop) World Of Pain - Cream (psych rock) Hotel Hobbies - Marillion (progressive rock) That Time Of The Night - Marillion (progressive rock) Web Weavers - Hawkwind (psych rock) Duulirium - Amon Duul II (psychedelia) Lady Of The Dancing Water - King Crimson (jazz, perhaps? No idea what to call it.) Is She Waiting - McDonald And Giles (pop) Court And Spark - Joni Mitchell (genres?!) Biko - Peter Gabriel (progressive world) Bit of an unfortunate selection... somewhat biased since my classical and (somewhat limited) jazz isn't on the I-pod due to size constraints. A toss-up of psychedelia, psych rock, quirky pop, pop and jazz, plus a world and a progressive track thrown in for kicks. Marillion features twice. Second test featured Crimson again. Probably comes up as a 3ish. I'm bad at assigning genres to things. |

Great game - just had to give it a try.

Here Again - Rush
Last Thing At Night - Mama's Boys
Isn't it Midnight - Fleetwood Mac
These Foolish Things - Roxy Music
Some Day One Day - Queen
The Tao of Love - Vangelis
Listen Up - Oasis
Hands of the Priestess - Steve Hackett
Mirante Das Estrelas - Bacamarte
Guess that might be a score of 5 - including Reggae, Heavy Prog, Crossover Prog, Electronic, Alternative, Symphonic Prog, Pop, Rock. ? Maybe.
Round Two;
Face To Face - Daft Punk
Blizu Tebe - Focus
Moja Ziemo Wysnioa - SBB
Pilgrims Progress - Greenslade
'Spring' from the Four Seasons - Vivaldi
Smooth Criminal - Michael Jackson
Your Own Special Way - Genesis

Anyway, I never shuffle my ipod across all genres usually, but an interesting mix when you do.
Keep it up!

Fun topic, Dick Whittington!
Okay, I have 8581 tracks in my I-pod. I have been playing it on random shuffle for the past week or so, as it happens, to see how far I can go. (I'm now somewhere around track 1250.) My entire collection is in there: some 1200 or so disks, with lots of rock/pop (various sub-genres), lots of folk/Celtic, perhaps 10% "prog," plus healthy doses of world, reggae, new age, blues, country, classical, & a smattering of opera, etc -- a pretty eclectic & varied mix. As far as genres go, I like to keep things simple – I’m currently in the process of reassigning some genres. For example, I’m listing all of my “alternative & punk” simply as “rock,” because that’s what it is, and I want those artists to play together when I shuffle “rock” – the largest genre in there, by far. My I-pod must have sensed I was doing this for PA, though, because normally prog artists (or those listed as such on PA – on my I-pod, they’re just “rock”) are far between on shuffle play. My first ten went as follows: The Cars – All Mixed Up (new wave – rock) Jethro Tull – Look Into the Sun (“prog” on PA, but this track is really just rock) Odds – Night’s Embrace (alternative – rock) Eno – The Fat Lady of Limbourg (prog – rock) Handel – Overture/Allegro, from Concerto Grosso Op. 6 (baroque – classical) Umphrey’s McGee – Uncommon (prog – rock) Steve Best – Monto (Newfoundland – folk) Anthony Phillips – Which Way the Wind Blows (prog – rock) Echo and the Bunnymen – All I Want (new wave – rock) Altan – A Nobleman’s Wedding (Irish traditional/Celtic – folk) The 2nd time around, there was less prog: Cass Elliot – Make Your Own Kind of Music (rock) Peter Gabriel – Games Without Frontiers (prog – rock) Blondie – Call Me (new wave – rock) The Byrds – Mr Spaceman (rock) Dissidenten - Radio Arabia (world) Niamh Parsons - Closer to You (contemporary Celtic/pop – folk) Holly Cole Trio - Cry (If You Want To) (jazz) Steeleye Span – The Ups and Downs (prog folk – folk rock – folk) Kim Mitchell – Rock ‘n’ Roll Duty (rock) Los Lobos – El Gusto (not your typical blues-rock from these Mexican Americans, but rather an all-acoustic traditional song, thus obviously folk – but as it’s Latino, I suppose it’s “world”) I get a pretty darned varied/eclectic mix on shuffle play – more so than it might appear, with my tendency to simplify and re-label genres! Despite all of the 'rock,' I think I'm easily a "5" on your scale, Dickie-Bird!
 Note that none of my reggae, new age, country or blues showed up -- this time. ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |
Jeez -- judging by the majority of those lists, I seem to be hanging around with a bunch of proghole weirdos! You mean this

Come on this a soppy game, does it matter? This is a feelgood, massage your ego type of thing. Some arbitrary measures have been adopted to determine whether you're 'narrow minded' or 'eclectic'. And then most people have their own estimates of what does and doesn't fit a genre. ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

Syd Barrett - She took a Long Cold Look(prog related) 10. Soft Machine - Out Bloody Rageous(canterbury scene) According to the ratings I guess I have around a 3 or 4, having 3 of the same bands come up in both rounds, although there were 6 different genres in the second round, unless all the different genres of prog rock are considered prog. Note: I have set my mp3 player to random and have had it play 2 songs from the same album in a row, so I question the randomness of it sometimes. I also have noticed that due to the fact that I Put both cds of PF- The Wall together it plays tracks from that album often. |

Third time: Os Mutantes - Dois Mil E Um (Mutantes) Psychrock/Tropicana Can - Aumgn (Tago Mago) Krautrock Atrium Musicae - Mentem Meam (La Música en Cataluña Hasta el Siglo XIV) Medieval music Armando Sciasscia - Annie's Theme (Metempsyco) OST/Cinecitta Video Liszt - Pictures of Machine Men (Ektakrom Killer) Electronic/Synth Soft Machine - Virtually (Peel Sessions 69-71) Canterbury/Jazzrock Haikara - Picnic (Geafar) Prog Can - One More Night (Ege Bamyasi) Krautrock Dr. John The Night Tripper - Gris Gris Gumbo Ya Ya (Gris Gris) R&B/Psych/Voodoo etc.. Kraftwerk - Vor Dem Blauen Bock (Kraftwerk II) Progressive Electronic Soft Machine and Can has popped up twice. Maybe these three lists altogether is a 4 or a 4+? Unlike some, I don't count jazzrockfusion&Canterbury, Space&Kraut+Psych and neither Eclectic/Symphonic/RPI/Heavyprog/crossover etc.. as different genres. But I do count Kraftwerk, Miles Davis and Captain Beefheart as three. ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

Have to add to the daft rules, the WCS Rule: i.e.the worst set of 10 generated, counts!!
I've got over 4000 tracks from 1200 album loaded, and especilly when I programme for an new random shuffle, I can guarantee two tracks from the same album will come up within 5 to 15 tracks - but when the IPod has got that out of its system, the worse I suffer if the same genre of music, as two in a row, otherwise tracks from an album are not duplicated for quite some time. ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

My Ipod is kinda old in my mind, as I don't use it that much anymore but it is a decent representative of my music collection. I got an 80GB right when it came out so these results are for the most part pretty unrelated to each other. Attempt 1: Tantric – Breakdown The Syn – The Promise Simon and Garfunkel – Scarborough Fair Canticle Live – waitress The Doors – My Wild Love Porcupine Tree – Up The Downstair Toto – Good for You Acoustic Alchemy – Reference Point Mark May – Icehouse Special Electric Masada – Kisofim Attempt 2: The Beatles – Cry Baby Cry King Crimson – Vroom Rush – Seven and Seven Is Def Leppard – White Lightning Yes – Heart of the Sunrise Mark Hollis – The Daily Planet Jim White – Borrowed Wings Free – Muddy Water The Who – Sensation Volta Do Mar – Another Air Strike Called Love Not a TON of prog, but certainly a dose. Prog, blues, postrock, hardrock, poprock, classic rock/psych, avant-garde jazz fusion, 80's hair, and smooth jazz. Got a lot more then that too ;) That was interesting, good idea. |

Random = Shuffle songs option on IPod. But any player (like Creative Zen or Winamp. Haven't found this function on iTunes) where you can choose random play of you're full mp3 collection will do.

Nice idea Dick  - I've often thought one way to get to know a stranger is to take his/her iPod & stick it on shuffle.
What this says about me though... 1 - Pogo (System Of A Down) Metal, pure metal! 2 - Tae The Beggin' (Battlefield Band) Good old diddly dee folk 3 - The Sky Is Crying (Gary Moore) Heavy blues (and a fab live version) 4 - Maze (Phish) Jazzy prog from the masters of improvisation 5 - Mother (Pink Floyd) Could be considered prog... not keen on the song, though 6 - The Divine Unity (Slackbaba) Dubby chilled out electronica - super cool 7 - Cocaine Blues (Johnny Cash) Live at Fulsome Prison - the man in black addresses some personal issues 8 - In Every Home A Heartache (Roxy Music) Weird & wonderful 9 - Aerials (System Of A Down) Bang that head again
10 - Charting The Single (Marillion) Live at Reading 1983 (not my favorite track from the CD though) [edit] If I understand the rules correctly, that brings me in on a 3 for the first shuffle. -------------

I'll Give this a shot. Hope I don't get any embarrasingly bad tracks.
1. "Take Me To Your Leader" - Newsboys - Pop Rock
2. "Up Through the Ashes" - Kamelot - Power Metal
3. "Survivalism [Saul Williams Remix]" - Nine Inch Nails - Electronic/Dance
4. "Push It To The Limit" - Paul Engemann - Pop Rock
5. "La Villa Strangiato" - Rush - Heavy Prog
6. "Tarkus" - Jordan Rudess - Symphonic Prog
7. "Lycanthrope" - +44 - Alternative Rock
8. "Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin" - Journey - Classic Rock
9. "I fought the Law" - Green Day - Alternative Rock
10. "Hex Omega" - Opeth - Hard Rock
Okay, a few iffy ones in there. List #2 now.
1, "Surfin Bird" - Ramones - Punk Rock
2. "Don't Stop Beleivin'" - Journey - Classic Rock
3. "New World Symphony: Movement #3" - Antonin Dvorak - Romantic
4. "Jordan" - Buckethead" - Metal
5. "Sign Language" - Yes - Symphonic Prog
6. "Killing Time" - Hollywood Rose - 80's Metal

8. "Brain Stew" - Green Day - Alternative

Alright, now keep in mind that I don't listen to most of the above please. No bashing me for listening to some Green Day.
I guess I'm somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. I'd say my first list was definetely worse, but I had plenty of genres on there. Plus, a punk song and a classical song came up. -------------

First 10: Likbør - Windir (Black Metal) Seeing Things - Black Crowes (Blues Rock) Could I've Been So Blind - Black Crowes (Blues Rock) The Suffering - Coheed and Cambria (Prog Related) 50 Million Year Trip - Kyuss (Stoner Rock) Ultimate Trip - Riverside (Prog Metal) Exciter - Strapping Young Lad (Extreme Metal) Nobody's Fault But Mine - Led Zeppelin (Classic Rock/Prog Related) Benighted - Opeth (Tech/Extreme Prog Metal) Bavarian Skies - Flower Kings (Symphonic Prog) I hardly ever use the shuffle function as I prefer listening to albums in their entirety, but it's rather fun to do for this purpose. Next 10: Lex Talionis - Akercocke (Death Metal) Reach Down - Temple of the Dog (Grunge) Birds of Fire - Mahavishnu Orchestra (Jazz Rock/Fusion) Intestinal Incubation - Necrophagist (Death Metal) Dirty Love - Frank Zappa (RIO/Avant-Prog) Don't Leave Me Now - Pink Floyd (Psychedelic/Space Rock) Empty Spaces - Pink Floyd (Psychedelic/Space Rock) Infant Phenomenon - No-Man (Psychedelic/Space Rock) Interstellar Overdrive - Pink Floyd (Psychedelic/Space Rock) Angry Chair - Alice In Chains (Grunge) Second list is a bit skewed in favor of Psych/Space Rock, due to 3 of 10 songs being Pink Floyd. Still, it's a decent enough mix. I'd say it's a 4+ but not quite 5 stars. ------------- With magic, you can turn a frog into a prince.

I've been consciously loading my mp3 player with albums that are highly rated on PA. I started with the top 250 overall (that I own, which comes up to about a third of them) and then started on highly rated albums in each genre. This project is far from completed, but out of 1038 tracks, these ten came up.
Peter Gabriel -- More Than This
Magma -- Kobaia Iss De Hundin
Pink Floyd -- Pigs (Three Different Ones)
Tangerine Dream -- Movements of a Visionary
Gentle Giant -- His Last Voyage
Banco Del Mutuo Succorso -- Ed Oro Lo Domando Tempo Al Tempo
Pink Floyd -- Any Colour You Like
Peter Hammill -- The Lie (Bernini's Saint Theresa)
Soft Machine -- The Floating World
Refugee -- Someday

Almost filled my 80gig Ipod, with 8500 tunes from 1250 albums, so in theory more weird eclectism???? Here goes:
Beyond The Bridge: Gambale, Hamm, Smith (ex. Show Me What You Can Do)
Rambler: Ginger Baker Trio (ex. Going Back Home)
Sweet Bite: George Duke (ex. My Soul)
Mutoid man : Ozone Quartet (ex.Nocturne)
Ride A Pony: Free (ex. Highway)

Oysterjungle: Secret Oyster (ex. Sea Son)
Oregon: Ghost Beads (ex.The Essential oregon)
Madness: Adrian Belew (ex. Side One)
Elergy: Jeff Beal (ex. Liberation)
Oh dear, 7 from ten I would say were jazz rock fusion tracks.......odd, this morning had 5 consequetive tracks which were blues, followed by modern flamenco. Sometime wonder about how 'shuffle' play is achieved on an IPod - it's never quite as random as I think.
Got to reset the shuffle: and here's the result:
Checking Out: Allan Holdsworth (ex. IOU)
Bird On A Wire: Leonard Cohen (ex. Songs From A Room)
Night Illusion: Gong (ex. Gauzeuse)
Tiger Feet: Mud (ex. Greatest Hits) - whoops
Compared To What: Les McCann/Eddie Harris (ex. Swiss Movement)
Divisions: Fire Merchants (ex. Fire Merchants)
Good Day Good Morning: Odyssey (ex. White Swan)
Mille Vagues: Nguyen Le (ex. Million Waves)
Bitter Suite: Marillion (ex. Misplaced Childhood)
SF Sorrow Is Born: Pretty Things (ex. SF Sorrow)

Here we go:
1. Executive Dive - The Dicks (punk)
2. Wake Up - Nomeansno (punk/prog?)
3. When I See That Girl of Mine - The Kinks (classic rock)
4. Losers, Boozers, and Heroes - fIREHOSE (indie rock)
5. Sea Shell and Soft Stone - Ron Geesin/Roger Waters (avant garde / psych)
6. On the Tundra - Guided by Voices (indie rock)
7. Steve Instant Newman - The Melvins (indie rock/metal)
8. Cameage - Descendents (punk)
9. Sinner - Judas Priest (metal)
10. Sagittarius Silver Announcement - Flaming Lips (indie rock)
Where's the prog? OK, second round:
1. I'm Down - Love (psych)
2. Just a Job to Do - Genesis (pop/prog)
3. Flippin' the Bird - Sun City Girls (avant garde/jazz)
4. You Are Too Far From Me - R. Stevie Moore (indie rock - did that exist in the 70s? If so, Moore was probably one of the few in that class)
5. The Kitten Song - Steven Wright (comedy)
6. Twin - Steven Wright (comedy)
7. Drum Factory - Fred Frith (avant garde/prog)
8. Heartattack in a Layby - Porcupine Tree (prog)
9. Only Time Will Tell - Earth and Fire (prog)
10. At Sixes - Soft Machine (jazz/fusion/prog)
The genres were just grudgingly assigned by me, but the first list is clearly punk-centric, which was a surprise. Lots of "indie rock" on both too. Interesting observation - a lot of the actual running time on my iPod (over 14,000 songs) could be called prog, but those songs are generally longer than the punk stuff, so there are probably a lot more punk selections to choose from - thus a random shuffle would be more likely to pick from that pool. Perhaps?
I'll give these lists a collective "3". ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

3. Between the Worlds - Be Bop Deluxe (glam rock)
4. Wise Man in Your Heart - Daevid Allen (prog/folk/ambient)
5. The Arbeiter - Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 (indie rock/avant garde)
6. It Can't Happen Here - Mothers of Invention (proto prog?)

8. No Bed for Beatle John - Yoko Ono/John Lennon (avant garde)
9. Wet Nap - R. Stevie Moore (indie rock - see above)

I can't do that, my iPod has been watching Steven Wilson's documentary and now it won't let me use the shuffle. It's afraid of being smashed into pieces with a hammer by some evil pale guy with spectacles. It actually wakes up screaming and sweaty every night.
