Somebody make a quiz where I have a chance of answering at least five correctly, please!

It won't be anytime soon, but the next one I do will be something like this...

5 questions that if you get wrong you really don't belong here.
5 questions that you should get, but not a total embarrassment if you don't
5 tough ones that you would need to know your stuff to get.
5 really obscure questions for the hardcore.

Personally, I like the hard quizzes, but I think they may be offputting to some and I'd like as many people to participate as possible.

Yea, obviously it would be pointless if we could all score 100% - It is best if nobody can get all the questions right.

So disregard my complaining. I'm just jealous of all you musik experts. :wink:

As awesomely creative as FT's quiz was, I thought there was too much inter-dependence between questions. If you didn't know one, you're not going to know the next two or three.

Don't mind the toughness, though. I like feeling stupid.

My thoughts exactly. I would have been all over the last three had I identified the "right" conservative.

As for me, I like the questions that contain all the goofy stuff and weird connections, a la The Cramps and The Carpenters.

Yeah...a good quiz has some stuff you know, some stuff you guess at, & some stuff you learn from.

I've enjoyed both of 'em so far...& I think there's room for all different kinds of quizzes - from the ballbusters that Rads posted, to the ones that kinda feed on themselves, like FT posted.

I left it blank. For some reason I was thinking "politics" and could only come up with Sonny Bono.

Mrs. Neuro = 7 correct answers

I agree with Sketch's comments about too much inter-dependence among the questions. I got a little carried away with that.

Haha..this is what I answered as well. I like these, it shows I don't shit about any of the music you freaks love ;)

I'll admit that at first I didn't remember the answer to Question 13 until I read Question 14.

And my fear of Alzheimer's was happy to find out that the questions I got wrong turned out to be things I never knew in the first place, not things I once knew and forgot.

I've started putting together my own quiz. Of course, I still haven't finished my songs Listmania yet, so don't hold your breath.

I worked that one backwards, too.
