Knuckledragger Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 The Obscurometer. Only works if you have a last.fm account (and a fair amount of scrobbles.) With jut under 120,000 plays, I have an Obscurometer rating of 75%. My friend Brent got 85.5%. What's yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duggeh Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 There has to be an error somewhere when my own Ejay songs from high school are less obscure than R. Cajun or Hank Shizzoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I think that's pretty skewed, but I think it's because last.fm skews obscure. I have been hanging out in "Indie Dance and Electronica" for the last few months on turntable, and it says I'm at 37% for the last 3 months.

aardvark baguette Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 18.4%. Steely Dan is somehow more obscure than Frank Zappa. Pffft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Bob Dylan had a 21.6% obscurity value in Jacob's report. That pretty much says everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 One's individual obscurity rating is modulo the listening tastes of last.fm users in general. Clearly, the site heavily used by "real" hipsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzziguy Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 See, even Queen is obscure here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) I'm just a tad bit obscurer than Jacob. This thing has a funny way to attribute obscurity. The Oscar Peterson Trio is more obscure than Oscar Peterson. Amazing. Edited March 7, 2012 by Torpedo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightWoundsTime Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Steely Dan is somehow more obscure than Frank Zappa. Pffft. Umm, yeah it's 'cool' to make yourself listen to Zappa even though he sucks. The opposite stigma is attached to Dan, and they still suck.

blessingx Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 The Beatles 5x more obscure than Radiohead. Dylan 10x. "Artist Head-Fi overall obscurity level is 98.7%" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
