ECCENTRICITY RATING: Proven by mathematics!
Centricity = nil. Comparisons to others in cohort not cost effective.
Every for almost the past decade Glenn McDonald has crunched the statistics generated by the Village Voice's Pazz & Jop Music Critic's poll. One of the by-products of his work are eccentricity/centricity ratings. These are a direct measure of shared tastes, or lack of them, among various critics in the poll.
No surprise, I've always been among the eccentric, armor-plated against groupthink. I've virtually no regard for the opinions of colleagues and vice versa. This year, my eccentricity ranked me 773 out of 782 in the poll, hovering just above the most elliptical. A minor critical community appreciation of Brad Paisley did the trick.
