I’ve been using last.fm for about 2.5 years now (hi Karina!), and I’ve been scrobbling my music for much of that time. Eventually, patterns should emerge. Such as this compilation of my “Top Artists” that it displays for me:
- Pearl Jam
- Eddie Izzard
- Nirvana
- The Chieftains
- Frédéric Chopin
- Tally Hall
- Queensrÿche
- Stone Temple Pilots
- Led Zeppelin
- Argerich / Freire / Kremer / Maisky [performing Saint-Saëns's Le Carnaval des Animaux]
- Lacuna Coil
- Tool
- Rush
- Dream Theater
- Loreena McKennitt
I’m not sure I could/would have come up with that exact list in that exact order on my own, but, yes, that’s a pretty good ranking of my tastes, save maybe the Saint-Saëns, which is pretty much all Aquarium, and pretty much all Niall.
Now, why and how that list could represent the top 15 choices of one person is left as an exercise to a suitably intrepid and demented reader.

Olá!
I’ve really got to get my medication sorted out…
@Meg Pallante: Well, you’re in luck, Meg! Pretty much all those artists can provide information on medication! Granted, it’s mostly information on self-medication, and not usually good advice, but it’s a start!
