How many film composers can you name?

  1. Anyone here familiar with Sporcle? It's a website where people can make, share, play etc. little quizzes. I threw a quick one together where you have to name as many film composers as possible in seven minutes. Try it out and let me know what you think and how you do! smile

    If you think I've forgotten any important ones, let me know...take it easy, though, Sporcle only lets you put in 300 answers and I've already got about 260 or so. tongue

    Nice idea. Sadly I'm not very good at such things.

    wink V.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
  3. Added, thanks Volker. smile

    Hmm...I tried the quiz, but there is no sound when I click play!
    I am extremely serious.
  8. It's not a sound quiz, you're just supposed to think of as many composer names as you can. wink

    I got 112, but then the time ran out.

    Loads of composers typed in that weren't there, though, so I wasted some time there. And some I obviously typed in wrong.
    I am extremely serious.
  13. Any in particular that I missed? I've still got a few empty slots that I can fill (can't have more than 300), and I'd be glad to patch any significant holes.

    And what can I say? I'm a special guy... tongue

    Yeah, but I typed so fast that I've forgotten many of them now. Lots of French composers, I seem to recall. Francis Lai, for example.
    I am extremely serious.
  15. I'd gladly increase the time limit but 20 minutes is the upper limit for Sporcle. I'll add Francis Lai though. smile
  16. The problem is you're trying to hurry, so you don't know if you duplicate an entry without re-checking your entries.


    Anyway, I think about 300 might be how many I could name. I'm going to try, but I'l have to use lower case letters to move more quickly.

    EDIT:
    It won't let me enter names and when I pressed pause to figure it out (which I didn't), it wouldn't let me un-pause. Fuck it.

  17. If you type in a correct answer, it's automatically deleted from the box and the running total of correct answers just below it increases, so it's not actually that hard to tell if you've typed in a duplicate. And I'm not sure what's going on with the not entering names. Did you accidentally click out of the answer box?

    Then again, my quiz is decidedly short on composers who specialized in TV movies of the 70s and 80s so maybe it's just not for you, Justin...

    You're on a bit of a roll Erik. wink

    FACT!

  21. Does it count as more than one entry if I enter Tyler Bates*?





    * = May contain: Hans Zimmer, Elliot Goldenthal, Gabriel Yared...

  22. Type in Media Ventures or Remote Control and you have 100 composers at a stroke. Then again not everyone there might qualify for that category ...

  23. 0.

    Their parents named them.

    Only got 58. Remembered most of the major ones, but forgot people like Elliot Goldenthal, Christopher Young, Michael Kamen and John Debney; all composers who are well-represented on my CD shelf smile

    Also, 12 of the 58 were Remote Control related composers smile

    Fun quiz, though. beer
  29. Thanks for playing! beer
  30. 92.

    (Or 94, if I'd remember how to spell Atli Orvarson and Miklos Rozsa correctly...)
