'Stay With Me' is a beautiful song but NOT deserving of a Grammy. There are plenty of other artists with much better music, in my opinion at least.

Great quiz, but I have one quick question. Wouldn't the answer for "Uptown Funk" be Bruno Mars? I am aware that Mark Ronson wrote it, but this does not mean he performed it. It was Mars who sang the whole song. Just something to think about.

I'm prolly showing my age, but I'm a little sad that I'm one of only 4% that knew "This Masquerade" by George Benson. "Are we really happy, here, with this lonely game we play..." Sigh.

I was just listening to the original version of "This Masquerade" by its composer Leon Russell, just a few minutes before I took this quiz.

I thought Whitesnake, but that clearly is not a grammy winner. :-) (edit: and of course, theirs was "Here I Go Again", not "we")

Tawny Kitaen though!

I typed Derrin thinking Bobby Derrin for Mack the Knife and then thought maybe I was mixing it up with Bobby McFerrin. Turns out I was right but couldn't spell it correctly.

The fact that Leave the Door Open won makes me oddly angry. I typically don’t have strong opinions on music, but I absolutely hate that song. I can’t even explain why but I cringe every time I hear it.

This quiz was a history lesson in music. I scored 49/55. I honestly do not know the six songs I missed, but I enjoyed the quiz. Thanks!
