Watching over the people he influenced? Today's music is built on yesterday's music, just as today's music will influence tomorrow's. I'm glad to see a nod to that.

I got stuck on "Chris from Coldplay" but couldn't remember his last name to save my life. I wasn't getting a perfect 5 anyway, because I have no idea who Lana Del Rey is.
So, "famous musicians". That means 17 Americans. Nice of you to include Bach among such stunning virtuosos as Ludacris and Timberlake. We Yerpeans are really touched.
You "Yerpeans" are a truly sensitive bunch aren't you?
