Sporcle #6 – Sorting Disparate Artists
Can you allocate these songs to 4 disparate artists?

I’m down with ABBA’s, but a little shaky on Metallica, and almost completely ignorant of Garth Brooks hits. Sometimes it’s obvious which song belongs to which genre.
Can you beat my 33?
Aphoristical
Graham Fyfe is fascinated by pop music, and he may just be the only blogger in the world to cover Neil Diamond and Ariana Grande.
29 for me. Kind of a minor miracle considering I’m not a big fan of any of those bands.

Good work! It’s interesting how genre conventions help – you can tell the country song from the metal song.

Yeah, to a certain extent that’s true. But I was thinking about it. Is there anybody in the world who listens to those four bands? I think they did it that way because very few do. Not saying it’s a bad idea. Just sayin’

For music geeks, Garth Brooks is the problem one right? It’s pretty plausible that a music geek would like the other three, but Garth Brooks always seems like cheesy mainstream country guy.

31. Not too bad, given all the guess work on Garth!

Yes, I figure most of my readers won’t know him that well.

One of those ‘big hat country’ types that I never really got familiar with. Though I dare say he’s like an outlaw given the country pop machine Nashville is these days.

37!
Full disclosure – I kept skipping the Jay Z/Garth Brooks songs until I’d answered all the Abba/Metallica and then rolled the dice on several of the last 10 or so!

That’s definitely a legit strategy. Googling is where I draw the line.
