I don't understand. There are people in the world who didn't follow Milwaukee Brewers baseball in the 80s and 90s?

I've definitely heard of the Isley Brothers and Randy Quaid. No idea who Yount is. But the fact that I don't know who he is is not a good reason to exclude him from the quiz.

You could include the classic 1930's actor Robert Young and REALLY piss 'em off. :-D

That's funny, before I read your response, I was thinking whether there wasn't some actor named R. Young, i.e. Robert.

I think it's better than no answer at all. The guy is a Hall-of-Famer after all.

Some people (including myself) weren’t alive in those years.

So because you weren't alive is a good excuse to not learn anything historical? No one who takes these quizzes was alive during the years of Genghis Khan, Charlemagne, Napoleon...

Kind of a bad example. You think this guy will still be known in a couple of hundred years? If not you cant claim he has historical importance. Some people can be extremely famous in a certain time period, but not relevant and forgotten a generation later.

Saw the word drummer in the clue and automatically skipped it. I never know specific musicians in these quizzes. Then I saw the answer, reread the clue, and now I'm so ashamed. I was a fan when they first invaded the US and I missed that one???

Doesn't matter -- just typing in "star" does the trick either way.

I'd venture that Roy Orbison is far better known than any snooker player. Actually surprised though that 44% know the RO answer.

I typed in Reagan and Orbison before even looking at the clues as I was sure they would be answers. Surprised Orbison wasn't but I knew O'Sullivan.

O'Sullivan is a household name in the UK, which might be why he's guessed a bit higher than you were expecting.

Never knew anything about snooker until I stumbled across a video of O'Sullivan playing, and watched it for some reason. The guy is a snooker assassin. Unreal. Made me go look up the rules of the game to better understand it.
