"Eccentric"!
Not "eclectic".
"Eccentric" means "non conformist", "unique", or "weird". The word you meant. Derived from geometry. If a bunch of different sized circles all have the same center they are "concentric" and form a nice bull's eye. If one of the circles has a different center then it deviates from the bullseye pattern and is "eccentric".
"Eclectic" means "drawing from a wide range of sources".
If you have Mozart, Twisted Sister, Alabina, Fifty Cent, a folkways recording of Pygmy drum music, and Tammy Wynette duets with George Jones, in your CD collection then you are 'eclectic' in your taste in music.
Though some might say that that would also make you 'eccentric' maybe.
