Jazz should be excepted for Charlie Parker.
Quizmaster replies:
I guess so. Even though at first I wanted to make this quiz harder

AC/DC may be in the Metal section and were considered as such in their early days, but they are certainly NOT metal anymore. Just ask the kids.

I cannot believe this list does not include ROCK n ROLL? Sheesh. Also, a more rounded list could include; gospel, zydeco, electronic, Christian, big band, jazz, A capella, standard (Barbra Streisand), Swing (F. Sinatra), Rap, Hip Hop, Orchestra and Classical with the three eras: Baroque, Classical & Romantic.

Could ya consider accepting "r and b" rather that requiring the ampersand? Please? "&" stands for "and" and is easier to get to on the keyboard.
Quizmaster replies:
Fixed that. Thanks!

blue eyed soul should be accepted for the beegees

blue eyed soul? I'd never heard that term. Searched it and thought hmmm... seems a bit racist. R&B music performed and sung by white musicians. I think we can just leave it at R&B.

ACDC are NOT metal. They're just hard rock. Even when magazines etc did (wrongly) call them a metal band back in the early days, the band and their fans hated it. Nice surprise seeing George Clinton's insane mug at the top of the page though lol.

AC/DC are not heavy metal. 70s heavy metal is Deep Purple, Led Zep etc. AC/DC are just hard rock.

Alison Krauss is not bluegrass. She's country.

AC/DC is not heavy metal. This should be fixed.

I'm surprised that there is no techno or hip-hop on here. And, as a death metal fan, of course it is disappointing but not the least surprising that there is a total lack of anything even close to metal (see AC/DC "heavy metal" arguments above). Seems like whoever made this quiz knows about some obscure genres (grunge, bossa nova, afrobeat.... IDK, these are obscure to me). A metal sub-genres quiz would be nice! ;)

I put rhythm and blues, I feel like that should count for R&B
Quizmaster replies:
Rhythm and Blues would have worked.

weird...was typing in 'power ballad' (because I had run out of actual genres) and it took the R for R&B and has displayed it as R in my answers.
Quizmaster replies:
Fixed. Thanks!

You guys obviously do not know music. Yanni is amazing. Much better than the crap that plays on the radio these days.
