If Tyler is accepted then Steve Tyler should be as well. Ran out of time because i started second guessing his first name.

As you should, because his first name is Steven.

And Steve is commonly short for Steven. Granted, I've never heard Steven Tyler use the shortened form Steve, but I can see why NRK is asking for it to be accepted.

What is Bach doing among this mob?

Watching over the people he influenced? Today's music is built on yesterday's music, just as today's music will influence tomorrow's. I'm glad to see a nod to that.

Serving as a token nod to pre-20th century music, as Mozart and Beethoven did in the first two quizzes in this series.

Bach fits in perfectly well. Bach, like most of the musicians in this quiz, was quite talented.

I think "entertainer" might be a better word. Suggesting that some of these...people...including a couple who were indicted for dealing drugs and murder...are "musicians"...cheapens the word considerably.

committing a crime doesn't mean that you can't be a talented musician as well

Also, no one on this list has been charged with murder.

Very true. If alleged criminal activity removed you from a career in music or for that matter many of the performing arts, who would be left? Pat Boone?

All of these people are talented enough to be considered musicians. I don't believe any of these people have committed murder, and even if they did, I don't see how it takes away from their musicianship.

How about Curtis Jackson as a type-in for "half a dollar" (trying not to spoil the answer as much)? :D

I got stuck on "Chris from Coldplay" but couldn't remember his last name to save my life. I wasn't getting a perfect 5 anyway, because I have no idea who Lana Del Rey is.

I really don't get the logic in Jackson being a typein for 50 Cent what with there being another Jackson on the quiz, by that logic Grant should be a type-in for Lana Del Rey, Moore for Pink, O'Connell for Billie Eilish and and Tallarico for Steven Tyler.

Also, typing Martin (or trying to) gives you the answer for Yo-Yo Ma, but that could be fixed by moving the cellist to a position before the Coldplay guy.

Broooooo that's Jaime Foxx from the movie Ray!!!!

Yes, SeaPunk206 is correct, this is Jamie Foxx in the picture, not Ray Charles. If the answer is Ray Charles, then the picture should be changed.

Tried "Martin", then "Coldplay", I was sure it was him but I just moved on. Martin worked as Ma

Jamie Foxx should be accepted since that is the person in the photo of "Ray Charles" :)

Shouldn't a musician actually play a musical instrument? A lot of these people are singers exclusively, not musicians.

Level 74

No, that's wrong (besides being likely that several of them do play an instrument even if they don't commonly perform except as a vocalist).

Wtf. So singing doesn't count as making music? Sorry, but that's a really ridiculous opinion. You realize the word "song" means that it's music that's sung? So what, all the instruments in a song are making music except the voice? A musician makes music; singing is music; therefore singers are musicians.

Also, voice is considered an instrument, just not an object-type instrument.

Also also, even if you don't play any instruments nor sing, if you compose music, you're a musical composer, and therefore a musician.

A few things. "Jackson" gives you two answers, and "Martin" gives you Yo-Yo Ma for free. Also, it's "Yo-Yo" with a hyphen.

There is no point in having 50 Cent in this quiz if you're going to accept "Jackson" as an answer for him, while including him alongside Michael Jackson, probably the most recognizable musician in history.
