Rosemary sucked me into this one:
Your Taste in Music: |
| Classic Rock: Highest Influence |
| Progressive Rock: Highest Influence |
| 80's Rock: High Influence |
| Country: High Influence |
| Hair Bands: Medium Influence |
| 90's Alternative: Low Influence |
It's a pretty bad test, since it's weighted pretty heavily to post 1980 stuff, and even then the selections don't show an even ditribution. For example, there's only two country performers listed; forget how many people listen to country these days.
Emerson, Lake, and Palmer aren't listed, even though Yes and Floyd are. Where's Deep Purple? Where's Kiss? Ok, they're old, but Aerosmith is in there, as well as Floyd and Yes, and Yes hasn't done diddly since the 70s.
What about the Allman Brothers? They just released a new album a few months back!
