I'd never heard of Robbie Williams before this, so I youtubed him. Wow, I'll never have that 37 seconds back.

Level 74

Mar 21, 2018

+1 - he's truly terrible.

He and Simon Cowell are the epitome of what is wrong with the music industry

Level 68

Mar 22, 2018

Isn't/wasn't he the lead singer of Take That? Take That is one of those weird examples of a musical act that was HUGE in the UK (and other places maybe?) and never even made a blip on the charts in the States. The only place Americans *might* have heard of them is from that song at the end of the movie "Stardust".

Level 85

Mar 23, 2018

Both Take That and Williams were/are huge in most of Europe actually.

He also did a cover of Somethin' Stupid with Nicole Kidman a few years ago.

Level 87

Jan 14, 2020

Pretty sure that Gary Barlow was the lead singer (and songwriter) of Take That, though Williams and the others were given a handful of songs to take the lead on.

Level 80

Apr 30, 2024

Take That had a single hit in the US with Back for Good, but it was a top 10. Millennium was also moderately popular when it came out, and its music video got plenty of play.

Level 65

Jul 5, 2024

Funny to discover that Robbie Williams is barely known in the US. I thought every singers that sing in English and that I can hear on radio in France are known worldwide (I also thought he was American).

And regarding the first comments, do you really believe he is far worse than each of those present in this quiz? He is decent IMHO, definitely not the best but a song like "Feel" is quite nice to hear!

Level 75

Jun 11, 2018

he looks like he has to poop

Level 97

Aug 20, 2018

He does, he does have to take a poop.

You don't know how lucky you are. As an Englishman I have had to put up with this talentless no mark for years. Problem is he thinks he is really talented our equivalent of Bieber.

Level 66

Jul 18, 2018

As if Bieber has any talent either.

Level 67

Sep 21, 2024

He does. He may be irritating beyond belief but that man can sing.

Level 85

May 21, 2024

As a Canadian, he probably is your equivalent of Bieber... 😆

Level 61

Jun 11, 2018

I'm embarrassed that I tried Henry Rollins and Morrissey for Robbie Williams. I also tried Kid and Play for The Weeknd.

Level 91

Jul 8, 2018

I knew that wasn't Henry Rollins but I just had to type it too.

Level 55

Dec 20, 2024

wrong annoying brit

Level 43

Mar 11, 2025

kid and play is crazy but I get it with the hair

Level 91

Jul 8, 2018

Against everyone's advice I googled to see how bad he was. Basically take any crap power ballad pushed by record execs onto lipstick wearing hair bands of the 80s, remove the scratchy vocals and guitar torture and there ya go.

Level 94

Jan 25, 2022

I only got Robbie Williams because I was thinking Pharrell Williams for John Legend.

Did not recognize The Weeknd from that picture.

Level 27

Oct 3, 2024

You lived under a very very big rock!

Level 93

Mar 21, 2018

Keith and Ludwig have the exact same expression on their faces.

+12

Level 72

Jun 13, 2018

They are about the same age too!

Level 39

Jun 11, 2018

Delighted that I had no idea who The Weeknd was. Prior to this quiz, I'd assumed The Weeknd was a band.

+23

Level 66

Jun 12, 2018

Why would you be delighted? He makes decent pop music.

Level 85

May 21, 2024

The only reason I knew he wasn't a band is because he keeps making appearances in my local weekly pub trivia...

Level 67

Sep 21, 2024

what's delightful about that? the weeknd has the biggest Billboard hit of all time

Level 66

Jun 11, 2018

What is Lil' Wayne doing on a quiz about musicians?

Level 80

Apr 30, 2024

I mean, he was widely considered the best rapper for awhile there in the late 2000s.

Level 93

May 2, 2024

By who? Not by anyone who knows even the tiniest thing about hip-hop he wasn’t…

Level 80

Jul 5, 2024

MTV, the New Yorker, Rolling Stone Magazine, the Grammy for best rap album, the Grammy for best rap song, BET Hip Hop awards, etc. The guy was widely acclaimed from 2007-2010; there’s just no denying that.

Level 51

Mar 31, 2025

He is easily top 20 rappers of all time, if not top 10 or even top 5 hes released over 3000 songs, doesn't even write down most of his lyrics, and has flows and rhyme schemes that were unheard of at the time except MAYBE from Eminem. He also birthed the careers of many peoples favorite rappers like Nicki Minaj and Drake.

Level 55

Jun 11, 2018

I thought the photo of Robbie Williams (whom I don't know) was Morrissey from the Smiths... Sorry Morrissey.

Level 87

Jul 5, 2024

They look like they were separated at birth.

+11

Level 75

Jun 11, 2018

I only knew the ones closer to my age...like Beethoven.

Level 91

Jul 8, 2018

You're older than Keith Richards? I thought he started out playing five against the Boers.

Level 10

Jun 12, 2018

Who even are half these people? Most of them are totally unknown to my generation.

Level 79

Aug 16, 2018

So what's the problem - that some of these people don't produce good music, or that your generation refuses to learn about anything new?

Level 67

Sep 21, 2024

this wasn't the serve you thought it was

Level 63

Jun 12, 2018

Welp, in a "proud to be ignorant" moment, I missed only Harry Styles. Knew he was some boy band idol, but never guessed right.

Level 64

I thought this was supposed to be musicians?

Haha so funny and original,

Level 91

Jul 8, 2018

Thank God I never learned the name of that Green Day guy who's so arrogant about his bubblegum "punk" music. Although the Oasis guy was 10 times worse about his mediocre, middle of the road Britpop music.

+15

Level 66

Jul 18, 2018

Green Day at least has shown staying power for 20+ years. They're not everyone's cup of tea, but neither are they a flash in the pan like Oasis was.

Level 78

Apr 30, 2024

Oasis broke up 15 years ago, and were and remain absolutely huge in Britain.

Level 46

Jul 31, 2024

i cannot name a single oasis song besides wonderwall though. its easier to name a whole album worth of songs by green day

Level 71

Aug 23, 2022

I think it should be renamed to "Performers". Many of them are not musicians.

Level 76

Feb 15, 2023

I scored 19/20 as I am unfamiliar with Robbie Williams. Thanks for the quiz!

+13

Level 79

So many negative opinions, yet none of them matter.

Nor does yours.

so scary Koopa

Level 62

Mar 9, 2023

Easiest quiz ever lol

Level 98

Apr 30, 2024

For the most part. I had to think about Dua Lipa for a minute. She looks like some kind of Kardashian/Emma Roberts mash-up. The only thing I really know about her is the name, because it's so unique. Otherwise, I can't name one song by her.

Level 86

May 1, 2024

Likewise. I'd heard the name, but I didn't know she was a singer.

Level 67

Apr 30, 2024

Thought that Robbie guy was Morrissey for a sec, but obviously the birth year doesn't match.

Level 86

Apr 30, 2024

Isn't Pavarotti also in the Musicians No. 1? Maybe throw in Maria Callas instead?

Level 71

May 1, 2024

All good other than the obscure musicians famous only in the US

Level 76

May 2, 2024

You know what really grinds my gears? People saying staff like "This musician was/is really terrible" or "He/she has no talent". We're talking here about music, so basically about personal taste. The fact that you personally doesn't like someone's music doesn't give you the right to say such insulting things about it.

Level 93

May 2, 2024

You’re mixing up personal tastes with objective criticism. Are you saying that any criticism of anything at all is invalid, as everything depends on your individual point of view?

I personally prefer a dirty BigMac over a steak. One is objectively better quality than the other, but I freely admit to liking the cheap and nasty version. Conversely, I’m not a fan of classical music, but would never deny the enduring quality it possesses, despite it not being to my taste. I love Banksy’s work, but would I try to argue that it is comparable to the Sistine Chapel?

The same goes for any artistic production, be it film, art or music. Most pop music is firmly in the fast food camp - popular with the masses, but OBJECTIVELY less good. Pop music fans tend to be largely ignorant of the huge variety of wonderful music available, as they are happy with their Maccie D’s. Good luck to them.

Stop whingeing about your own ignorance and get educated - or just admit that you like gash tunes…

Level 85

May 21, 2024

Best take in this entire comment section! 👍

Level 60

Jul 5, 2024

Ilia's not saying it's not valid, they're complaining about the insults. I think that's fair enough - like if someone saw you eating a Big Mac and came over to tell you it's awful. That would person would be a prick, even if they're right.

Level 80

Jul 5, 2024

“Stop whingeing about your own ignorance and get educated.” Well that’s an exclamation point to hammer home the central thesis: People have the right to be rude and condescending. So unnecessary.

Level 18

Nov 28, 2024

You missed the point dawg.

Level 51

Mar 31, 2025

You claim pop music is "objectively less good," but by what standard? Complexity? Innovation? Emotional impact? Pop excels in all these areas, with skilled songwriting, production, and performance. Dismissing it as "cheap" ignores the artistry behind its melodies, lyrics, and cultural influence.

You also assume pop fans are "ignorant" of other music—wrong. Many enjoy diverse genres but still appreciate pop’s accessibility and emotional connection. Simplicity doesn’t mean inferiority.

Music isn’t just about technical skill—it’s about how it makes people feel. If a song resonates with millions, that’s artistic success. So instead of looking down on pop and its fans, maybe broaden your understanding of what makes music valuable. I recommend Hurry Up Tomorrow by the Weeknd, Imaginal Disk by Magdalena Bay, and Blonde by Frank Ocean. These largely synthpop and r&b based albums are some of the best music of the past 10 years, and of all time

Level 68

Jul 5, 2024

I agree. Especially when they're proud of themselves and are clearly going over the top with their disdain to appeal to others who want to show how anti-mainstream/anti-popular they are. Clearly being subjective - there will be less talented people who are less popular who do they will no doubt laud to look clever.

Level 80

May 2, 2024

Really surprised Robbie Williams was more well-known than Keith Richards or Eddie Van Halen, especially considering he is virtually unknown in the U.S.

Level 79

Jul 5, 2024

Ed Sheeran? Isn't he that guy from Game of Thrones?

Level 63

Jul 5, 2024

I'm content knowing more of the bottom half than the top half.

Level 74

Jul 5, 2024

That is crazy, I am from the 90s and all the musicians I couldn't find are frome the 90s.

Level 68

Jul 5, 2024

Especcially given all the memes involving him....that and his place in rock music history...it saddens me how few people guess Keith Richards.

Level 68

Jul 5, 2024

Really, only 39% knew the Green day vocalist?

Level 68

Jul 5, 2024

Full marks for The Robbster.

Level 78

Jul 5, 2024

We're really pushing the boundaries of what's considered a musician these days.

Level 76

Jul 5, 2024

You really need to allow the usage of people's real names for these contests. I like finding out actors/singers real names.

Level 44

Jul 7, 2024

What's up with the comments above, bashing musicians? All the chosen individuals were picked from the exact same category: MUSIC! Whether Beethoven or Williams or Wayne or Minaj, whether one likes it or not, they succeeded in the industry, they made huge name out of themselves, got heaps of cash from what they do and now they are here on the quiz because, guess what... they're famous. If you claim to be "educated" because you only think one genre or one era of music is relevant and that new music is "rubbish" then think again. A lot of aristocrats thought of Beethoven - back in the day - what you are now thinking of Lil Wayne. The main purpose of these quizzes is that we're expected to at least know something about everything. Please don't show Jetpunkers as an arrogant lot.

How do only 31% of people get Eddie Van Halen?!?! And 88% for Freddie! This world needs more classic rock!
