55.7971% - Mega Music Nerd [:p][:p][:p]
i lost a lot of points for not ever watching music on TV!

"What a "wang chung" is (because the creator of this quiz sure doesn't)" - easy that - it came from the sound a rickenbacker makes, when you play a powerchord pete townsend style!

I think I got points for being a musician, but lost them for not watching much TV

I wonder if anyone outside the NWO who did this poll would know what a Huang Chung is..well done kola

52 % - Super Music Nerd

I don't have cable, or watch much TV, so that lowered my score (I actually clicked on "Solid Gold" & "American Bandstand", cuz those are the last music shows I've ever watched, other than early MTV!). I also never did the fan club/ meeting the band thing, trying to track down musicians or anything like that.
However, I know an astounding amount of music trivia, like you all, and am fairly hardcore about organizing my music.
So, I thought my score would be higher, too. But I thought many of the questions were pretty cool.

...i read it in an interview with them back in the 80's - i remembered it because it was a cool reason for a band name, and because i am an unashamed music-nerd [:I]

Yikes! I thought I had a life...besides music. I guess this just goes to show how integral (yet not fanatical) music can be in one's life.

Thank you so much for scoring higher than I did. I knew there was no way I'd be #1 on this board. [:D][:D]

58.93456% - Mega Music Nerd

Woulda been way higher 2 years ago, before I dumped 1000 albums and 500 cds to hard disk because I needed the space...(which is now filled up with better computers to hold my 100 gig of mp3s...)
