I wanted to do another music thread, and since I don't have time for another tournament right now, I thought I'd give this a shot. This is basically going to be my tribute to/revenge for Godz's Nerd thread. Every Sunday, I'll send out a new music trivia quiz via PM to the contestants. You will have until Saturday @ 12PM Eastern to PM your answers. Then, I will tabulate the scores and eliminate the lowest scoring participant(s) until there is only one left. Then, the new quiz will go out. Shampoo, rinse, repeat. There will be 15 questions on each quiz and the breakdown will be as follows: 2 80s music 2 Classic rock (anything pre-1980) 2 Movie Music 2 90s Music 2 Classical Music 2 Beatles 2 "Here’s the lyric, name the song" 1 Grab Bag (could be rap, country, Broadway, wrestling music, jazz, polka…) Ideally, I'd like at least 10 participants, but no more than 20 (I score papers all day at work, I don't want to spend too much time at home doing the same thing. ). If you'd like to be a participant, leave your name in this thread. The Contestants: 1. "Statman" PKSandman 2. Jazzman 3. Muskrat: A Platypus Warrior!!! 4. "Franchise" Ox Baker 5. Ishmeal Insane

Five people already. I'll keep "registration" open until Friday night, then I'll send out the first quiz.

Oh hell, I'll play. I'm already in a nerd contest, I need to be in a geek contest. After all, I am a geek ...

Music major here (specializing in composition and musicology, no less). So I'm gonna have to bring the nerdiness to this one.

I'll play, but if someone more hardcore wants to play you can kick me out if you want. Too many times it turns into a "who can cheat the most" thread, but I'll at least hang in there as long as my limited music knowledge can hold out. (I'l be honest--the classical music spin is what hooked me.)
