2. Odd you don't know who Karajan is, given the breadth of your classical knowledge

3. I gave a hint for the Bach question as I'm not that familiar with him and he may have hundreds of concertos, which would then make the question too open.

4. No need to be insulting. I did this off the top of my head, more to prove a point than anything. In this case, criticism is not required or desired. Were I to really sit down and try for a while I could come up with a much better list. The point I was trying to make was that just because someone doesn't know the answers to a load of questions about the blues or classical or jazz, is no reason to talk down to them and assume they know nothing about music.

I'm interested to see if Lord Larehip attempts my questionnaire...

Meh, not insulting really. I'm just being oversensitive but you called my lovely quiz that I spent a long 10 minutes on DISMAL! Shame on you! You made baby Jesus cry!

Yeah I agree with Plankton: I need to lighten up. Perhaps some helium?

I never said your quiz was dismal. I meant my answers to this quiz compared to the original one were dismal. I mean, I couldn't even answer half of them but they are on topics that I don't really care about anyways.
