Your final score was 111/180
Mix-Tape Master (109-144 points)
You are a music evangelist: the person in your network of friends who always has the coolest new song, the one whose iPod gets picked to DJ every party. You understand the art of the segue, how the key to the best mix-tape isn't just the songs you pick, but how they interlock with each other. You also know who the up-and-coming acts are and are quick to recognise where their influences lie and whether they will make it big. You work hard at the pursuit of this knowledge, scouring music blogs, magazines and record stores. Most importantly, you are generous with your passion – and your friends should be very, very grateful. Still, it’s always good to get new inspiration for your latest mix.
I think I scored higher than I deserved. This thing asked so many across-the-board trivia questions, I'm rather surprised I scored as high as I did. For example, the milimalist question - I recognized one of the modern composers, was pretty sure he IS a minimalist, and then correctly guess right among the other three names. But being age 50, I practally grew up with "roots rock", so the Proud Mary and Blue Suede Shoes questions were like shooting fish in a barrel. Even the saxaphone-on-a-Beatles song question seemed easy, I could play each one in my head and "hear" the one that prominently featured saxaphone.
Did I ever say I have 3,000 LP's? It could be over 4,000 as I haven't kept a good count, and I still buy them off and on...if that's any measure, I should have answered them all correctly.
This thing is definitely aimed at pro DJ's/pop musicologists/pop music history people, and not the easy "how well do you know the Beatles" type thing that I could ace in my sleep, and I'm not even the biggest Beatles fan.
Oh, I thought this was going to be a quiz on music knowledge, not pop trivia.
Yeah, I though it was a little misleading like that too...
