Can we guess your favorite band?

[RickyT]

I'm curious if this quiz even gets remotely close for anyone. They came up with U2 for me and they're not even in my top 100!



Can We Guess Your Favorite Band?

EDIT: I did a second run with a different band in mind and it came up with The Band. That's much closer!

I got The All American Rejects?????

Who the hell is that? Do they sound like Faith No More?

I also got U2. I don't dislike them per se, but the last CD I bought of there's was The Unforgettable Fire..They asked which singer I preferred and I literally did not know and could not name 1 song from any of them.

But then again, if they had actually guessed 'moe.', I'd have been a little scared.

I thought my computer froze. The last thing was: "...you're favorite band is The Band." I thought it meant: "...you're favorite band is The Band...called: _____." And magically would appear PFM, The Crusaders, The HeadHunters, Casiopea, Incognito, The Guess Who, ARS, The Climax Blues Band, Focus, Sea Level, Spooky Tooth, The Tubes or The Mothers of Invention. Uh uh. The Band. Period. The last time they came on my radio I almost dislocated my shoulder by reaching for the OFF button with gusto.

It told me Husker Du but I prefer Operation Ivy....nah, im just kidding

 

[JohnPaulSmith]

I got The Band too. You can tell the correct answer by my screen name.

Save you the trouble: Most anything by Todd Rungren.

 

[electracoyote]

Not even close.

Though I have several "favorite" bands, I selected Queen for the quiz and they guessed Nirvana. Ugh.

 

[jamro217]

I got The Band too. You can tell the correct answer by my screen name.

The Smiths?

 

[Papalampraina]

Not sure how it came up with The Beatles considering I indicated that the band members of my favourite band are all still alive...

Same here. Was aiming for Pink Floyd.

 

[elgecko]

Same here. Was aiming for Pink Floyd.

That's who I was trying for when I got U2.

Not even clicking on that link. It's probably just data mining. They spit out a random answer at the end that has a statistical chance of being applicable to the general public. They want your responses to the questions for malevolent endeavors.

Probably. Potential data mining questions:

• When do you listen to music? (morning, at work, in the evening)
• How do you listen to music? (vinyl, CD, iPod)
• How do you feel about music streaming?
• Do you watch The Grammys every year?
• Which music awards show would you most like to attend?
• How would you describe your outift?
• What was your high school mascot?
• What was the make and model of your first car?

Worked for me.

 

[elgecko]

Worked for me.

You might be the first!

Led Zep, came up with The Beatles.

 

[lermgalieu]

There is no possible way that they could figure out my favorite band - but I knew that going into the quiz. What came out (Nirvana) was pretty far from the mark, although not obscenely so.

 

[Biggbass]

U2 ...what a surprise...considering I don't own a single U2 album and can't name more than one of their songs...
it was actually Bonnie Raitt.
Their AI is not so intelligent afterall.

 

[MD]

Got to question 12 and became convinced there was nothing in the test relevant to my musical existence.
Never got to 13.

 

[Creede]

As someone who is reaaaalllly into prog metal, I don't know why I even clicked on the quiz.

 

[Bunk McNulty]

Short answer: No, you cannot guess my favorite band. Now get off my lawn!

 

[CarpeBasso]

How are U-2 and Nirvana in any way similar to Aerosmith? This is BOGUS, man!
