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!

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. -

Klaus Doldinger
Nice idea. Sadly I'm not very good at such things.
V.Bach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

Hmm...I tried the quiz, but there is no sound when I click play!I am extremely serious. -

It's not a sound quiz, you're just supposed to think of as many composer names as you can. -

lameLove Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Ah.
A bit....uhm...special for a quiz, but I'll give it a go.I am extremely serious. -

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. -

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... -

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. -

I'd gladly increase the time limit but 20 minutes is the upper limit for Sporcle. I'll add Francis Lai though. -

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.The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else. -

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... -

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

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 ...Bach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

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
Also, 12 of the 58 were Remote Control related composers
Fun quiz, though. -
