Seriously though, my average response speed is around 0.7-1.0 second. That gives me a great advantage in points.

Of course, except when I have to count on my fingers how many times King Crimson changed their lineup. Ermm I barely scored 10 points there. Dead


Yeah, I was just being mean there. LOL


I have some complaints about Gentle Giant member nicknames or the reasons why Bruford got bored of Yes as well. Wink


What did you want me to do: Make it too easy? Wink


No, just make it revolve around prog rock, not what kind of colour prog rockers like. Wink

Do you know how many Rob missed?


Nah, I was kidding about that Crimson question. LOL

Oh, okay. LOL

Yep, 15 out of 20, and I can say I got around 140-143 points, on average. I scored two or three very quick responses, I think my highest was 149, while my lowest was 127 or so. My total fair score was 21xx.

Alright, that helps alot. Hopefully everyone else knows their distribution as well as you do. Tongue

Well, it was my first quiz, so it's not perfect. Tongue

I do think I did a good job on it though... but it does probably hate me. It's glitching in revenge or something. OuchLOL

Alright. I should be online off and on all day today. Hopefully I'll hear from Rob and the two others who took it and see what's up.

Listening to this right now, if anyone interestedWink:


Some great modern heavy rockers, inspired by the classics of Rainbow, Deep Purple, and maybe some Iron Maiden in their heavier stuff...

I don't remember hearing anything by Stewart-Gaskin, though I might well have done so in the past. These days I'm not really very much into doing work for the site, but it seems things cannot wait for a couple of weeks or so... I don't want to sound territorial, but I am quite p****d off at the suggestion that someone else might deal with additions on behalf of HP. I said I wanted a break until my interview, not forever. After four years here, it seems additions are more important than the future of someone like me, who has been through a lot.

Sorry for the rant, but sometimes people really leave me speechless.


I'm sure no offense was meant, and, to be honest, someone covering while you're waiting for your interview (which I really hope will go well, you certainly deserve that) would help smoothen things out and prevent there being a huge backlog when you get back to it. As I said, I'm sure it's meant in the best way, and I wouldn't take it too personally.

But, yeah, first and foremost, I really hope the interview goes well for you Hug

I didn't get the two Kansas questions, and I think I might have slipped up the Crimson line-ups question. I think I got everything else right, and fairly quickly (I'd guess between 13 and 15 for most of them... I took ages on the Gentle Giant nickname one before guessing), too.

I can't believe that ancient history quiz suggested Hannibal rode an elephant into battle...

Generals don't ride elephants.

It appears that everyone's scores are lowering with equal proportionate value.

I find it difficult to believe that someone who called Genesis' Just A Job To Do lyrically indecipherable gave five stars to The Lamb. I mean, how hard is it to work out it's a hitman's perspective? (not very).

Also, I think Genesis is a good album, but I'm odd like that.

It's an alright album, but I never really listen to it. Good for what it is, anyway, but I'd never give it a decent rating here... simply because of the guidelines.
