Rock Star or Hobo?
Beautiful Loser
You are in the bottom tier. You don't know famous musicians from common panhandlers! This is unfortunate because you are possibly missing out on some great music. You can improve your score by doing some research and listening to some new musical artists. Not only will your score improve, but you will also get to hear all kinds of wonderful music previously unknown to you!
In actuality, all of the people in the quiz are musicians. Don't feel too bad, though. Even if you are knowledgeable about music, it is often easy to confuse musicians for hobos.
Here is the list of musicians and in the order in which they appear:
1. Andre Williams
2. Will Oldham, a.k.a. Bonnie Prince Billy
3. Art Garfunkel
4. Ben Bridwell (from Band of Horses, Carissa's Wierd)
5. Bob Seger
6. Cat Stevens
7. Daniel Higgs (from Lungfish)
8. Devendra Banhart
9. John Fahey
10. Jad Fair
11. John Fahey

15. Robyn Hitchcock
16. Roky Erickson
