[Seabiscuit]

25. Obviously not a 90's music fan.

A collection of 200 of the most forettable lyrics of all time.

Don MacLean got it right in 1971 in "Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie" - that's when the music died. At least 90% of pop music produced since then has really, really sucked. And since "rap" began decades ago (and its offshoot subspecies, "hip-hop") there has been a huge amount of so-called "music" that isn't even music - all rhythm, no harmony, no melody - missing 2/3 of the elements that make up "music" per se.

I got 62/200; which means I made a "31" on this test- woo hoo! haha

ON EDIT: And now that I'm reading back through the answers I feel pretty dumb, as I think I should have done better. I definitely know a number of the songs I wasn't able to spot the lyrics to, but I guess not having a melody behind them can make them much harder to spot.
