	i'm curious as to the overlap of people who did well on this quiz, and people who did well on the other quiz posted today (the Prefectures of Japan)

	Dodge:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 04:48 GMT		3 points
	About time sporcle did a country music oriented quiz. That comment was lowbrow, matt.

	91.. love my country music.

	Liberal:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 05:19 GMT		3 points
	I got 45. The most obscure one was Charlie Rich.

	jessbowen:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 05:24 GMT		3 points
	Got 53 - used to be pretty into country music but not as much in the last few years. My two big surprises: Olivia Newton John was country and Mary Chapin Carpenter is not that well recalled - she's one of my faves!

	61 ... Most of the country musicians I know were the ones my dad listened to, which predate these awards.

	Breaker1:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 05:31 GMT		1 point
	@WestWingerjd: I take it you haven't seen the movie Super Troopers. That movie is the only reason I remembered Charlie's name, as well as the winner for 1975.

	i misspelled oslin, and she's the least gotten. i'm actually embarrassed of my knowledge. most obscure i got was kathy mattea.

Wow, it only takes 15 people to get half the list, and 32 to get 100 slots.

	Liberal:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 07:14 GMT		1 point
	@Breaker1: I meant that was the most obscure one I got. I remember Charlie Rich mainly for that silver white hair of his.

	@kenneth that wasn't a dig at country music fans. hell, i got pwned on both quizzes

	How did only 7% get Ronnie Milsap. The guy was a monster there for awhile.

	davidr:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 09:43 GMT		3 points
	@Dummo: But all quizzes are impossible unless you're interested in the thing the quiz is about!

	lulubelles:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 09:54 GMT		3 points
	@ davidr, I agree, I'm in the uk so had no hope on doing extremely well at this, but I did it anyway just to see how many I'd get. Turned out not very many at all lol.

	UEAdam:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 11:55 GMT		2 points
	As a great fan of pre-1960s country music, it would have been nice if the CMA started these awards a little earlier so that they could get some recognition on Sporcle! Ah well, bring on the Country Music Hall of Fame quiz!

	Freddie:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 11:56 GMT		2 points
	Great stuff sporcle! Country music has definitely been under appreciated on sporcle thus far. Such a shame that Country music, or at least CMT Entertainer of the Year has gone so far down the pan in recent years. Some absolute legends on that list: Jones, Cash, Wynette, Harris, Haggard, Parton, Nelson and Jennings. Bring on Country Music Hall of Fame inductees!

	I only got Dolly Parton and John Denver. But apparently not many others get Denver. So how come I know him?

	Wow, I don't really listen to country music, but I still managed to get 25. :D

	OK the fact that ONJ has an award and the JUDDS are nowhere is SAD!!! I can not believe that The Judds or Wynonna on her own hasn't won before?

	isaac:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 14:16 GMT		3 points
	Here's an oldie but a goodie. Q: What do you get when you play Country music backwards on your record player? A: You get your wife back, your horse back, your dog back, your truck back...

	SentioVenia:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 14:23 GMT		0 points
	@ Jeremy: Well, the Judds were a duo, so they couldn't have won the female vocalist award (or male, obviously). And there's clearly a bit of male bias in the Entertainer of the Year award.

	Freddie:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 14:31 GMT		3 points
	@SentioVenia: Yes there is a bit of male bias, but to be honest this is true for every form of music. Country music was actually the very first genre of music to achieve male/female parity on its charts (in 1999), so its arguably the least sexist genre out there believe it or not!

	56, then ran out of time. 8 minutes was nowhere near long enough. This should have been a 15-minuter.

	beatrix kiddo:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 18:13 GMT		1 point
	i got 24 by typing in a few obvious ones then some names off the 'most common US surnames' list. no love for billy ray cyrus? you're gonna break his achey heart.

	ronnymexico:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 18:51 GMT		3 points
	Charlie Rich the most obscure? Fa. He and John Denver were the only ones I got. Was hoping Farva would be a bonus answer.

	ArtVandaley:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 18:54 GMT		0 points
	I feel like "Williams" should not get Hank Williams Jr. I bet lots of people got him by thinking of his dad and not considering him.

	tcalleen:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 19:08 GMT		1 point
	@catherine: I personally love John Denver, but I just didn't associate him with country music - I always though of him as more folk-ish. I was surprised by the number of artists that weren't on the list that were favorites of mine - Jerry Reed, Donna Fargo, Dan Seals, Mickey Gilley, Conway Twitty. I'm with Freddie - let's do the Hall of Fame next!

	Biohazard:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 19:40 GMT		1 point
	I can't fathom thinking that matt's comment is implying anything negative about Country fans. It sounds like he was just curious in the comparison of knowledge between two very different subjects. How does one see otherwise?

	cocky:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 22:30 GMT		1 point
	Hank Williams Sr died long bgefore the CMA awards were born.

	Bretzky:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 22:50 GMT		1 point
	Anyone want to explain to me how Hank Williams, Jr could be Entertainer of the Year in 1987 & 1988, yet Randy Travis was the Male Vocalist of the Year both those years. What is the difference in criteria between those two categories that would lead to that result? It happened on more than those two occasions and also crossed up with the Female Vocalist of the Year award as well.

	1/126 EPIC FAIL

	@biohazard: It could easily be interpreted as a low bLow to country music fans. There's a negative stereotype that country music fans are unintelligent (probably due to the same association applied to Southerners). Thus, it could be interpreted that there's no way a country music fan could no anything about something like Prefectures of Japan. However, I believe matt. They are just too completely opposite topics. It should be noted that geography is probably most country musicians best subject (check out the game 'I've Been Everywhere' in the music section).

	Freddie:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 23:57 GMT		3 points
	@Bretzky: I don't think there's a clear cut answer but from what I understand the Entertainer of the Year is usually awarded to the King (or queen) of record sales and tours, whilst the vocalists awards go more on merit. Hence, Chesney has won the entertainer of the year the last few years because he by far the most successful artist out there commerically, but his lack of a Vocalist win shows just what country purists really think of him (not much!). In my view, Male/Female vocalist is the column to look at. Heck, when George Jones is in this one, and the likes of Shania Twain, John Denver and Chesney are in the other its no contest really!
