	I like it! Nice theme, well executed.

	"Three tines is not a fork. Three tines is a trident. Forks are for eating, tridents are for ruling the seven seas." -Sheldon Cooper. I do agree with Sheldon, and believe there is failure in one clue in this quiz.

	The definition of 'fond' as 'have a liking for someone' is a bit flawed. It implies that 'fond' is a verb...what's needed is something like 'having a liking for someone'.

	When I think of Frank Sinatra, Jazz isn't the first genre that comes to mind. He certainly isn't synonymous with it.

	Hockey actually does still use a ball, it's ice hockey that doesn't. But that's just me razzing.

	Well done. One of the more difficult word ladders ever.

	Every other genre got three examples except punk. Need to add the definitive punk band: THE CLASH.

	Sinatra didn't play. He sang.

	Booger:	Jan 10th, 2012 at 14:00 GMT		6 points
	Also, "Playing unfair" suggests the answer should be fouling. The clue should be "Play unfair" or even better, using the noun, "Unfair play".

	Nits aside, really good ladder.

	Phraxos:	Jan 10th, 2012 at 16:01 GMT		6 points
	Great quiz working in so many genres, but I have to agree with the comments that the definitions for foul and fond are not parallel to the answers

	Jackson 5 is soul? Really?

	vikZ: Fun game and theme. Made me want to flip open a Pandora link. Keep making your games; I think most of the comments above are intended to be helpful regarding clue-phrasing, not as a knock on the game.

	A fork may have three or four tines. A few, such as a shrimp fork, have two. Sheldon is way too anal.

	@barnztormre I dislike punk intensely. But I've voted you up because if I had to listen to any punk, then The Clash would carry the day.

	Thanks for the compliments! To address some of the nits: A trident may also have 3 prongs, but I doubt anyone has a trident stashed with the rest of their cutlery, so I disagree with Sheldon here (although disagreeing with a mastermind gets me into dangerous territory). I wanted to pick people that are popular and played the genre, so although Sinatra is not synonymous with Jazz, he DID play some jazz (ok, sing). It was almost impossible to find someone specific for some genres such as soul, so I found artists where the intersect of their genres is soul or whatever genre I'm going for. In fact, if anyone noticed, I used James Brown as an example twice. Lastly, I agree with the nitpicks over FOUL and FOND but I cannot edit the quiz since it's published.

	If you know anything about jazz, you know that Frank Sinatra was a master, even in his own way a pioneer, of jazz; he just did a lot of other things, too. He didn't sing just "My Way", "A Very Good Year", "High Hopes" and "New York", he also sang such jazz classics as "One for My Baby (and one more for the road)", "{I'll be seeing you in) All the Old Familiar Places" and "(I've got you) Under My Skin". The Dorsey band where he started was a jazz band.

	Stating that three tines = a trident is ridiculous. A trident is a very specific weapon with barbs at the end of its tines, and clearly not an eating utensil. And there are plenty of three-tined forks around.

	If it has three tines, wouldn't it be a threek?

	"It was almost impossible to find someone specific for some genres such as soul" ....this is a joke, right?
