Please read ALL The rules as Music Sheep has some new twists. This means you Rypro525.

Rules


• The object of the game is to out-think everyone by picking answers to questions that are the most common (Sheep) or least common (Reverse Sheep), but still correct.
  
• Example Sheep question: "Name a popular band from the '80s." A good answer might be Journey and a bad answer might be Hanoi Rocks.
  
• Example Reverse Sheep question: "Name a Who Song". "Who Are You" might be a bad answer, but "Silas Stingy" might be a good answer. (Unless everyone is trying to go as obscure as possible).
  
• Sheep scores are tallied as negative numbers. Reverse Sheep scores are tallied as positive numbers. The lowest score wins. There are no "wrong" answers in Sheep.
  
• The answers to each question are tallied up. Wrong answers in Reverse Sheep are scored two points above the most common answer, before round multipliers.
• You may not cheat by using Google, Wikipedia, IMDB, AllMusic, etc. Use only what's in your head. Cheating only hurts yourself and the people you beat by cheating.
  
• Please send in your answers to me via PM. Place only one answer per line, without numbers or the question itself and with no blank lines (unless you are leaving a question blank). Those who do not do this will be penalized 10 points right off the bat.
  
• Google spreadsheet containing answers is available here. Just copy the answer column and paste it to me in a PM.
  
• Answers do not have to be super specific, but if I can't definitively figure out who you meant you are probably SOL. Song/Album names are going to be more strict. I'll try and give you the benefit of the doubt, but don't be intentionally vague.
  
• Note: Unless specifically mentioned in the question, all albums/artist answers have to have the majority of their content output in English. I don't want to be trying to verify Japanese language tracks or anything stupid like that.
  Definitions:
  
  • Band - A band must consist of more than participant. Ancillary members do not count. Ray Charles and his Raelettes are not a band. The White Stripes are. If the band is normally referred to as the name of one person, it's probably not a band.
    
  • Album - Album refers to a full length original recording on CD/Record/Tape/8-Track or an EP. Singles, Splits, compilations, collections, box sets, greatest hits packages and live albums do not qualify unless specified. Double albums do of course count.
    
  • Genre - If a question asks for a genre, trying to be ultra specific will not help you (Progressive Rock, Industrial Rock and Post Rock will all be considered Rock).
• Sheep questions are marked by an S:, Reverse Sheep questions are marked by an R:.
  
• The game will not begin until sometime after Monday, July 6th. There is a maximum of 50 participants for this game. You snooze you... well you probably win by not wasting your time.
  
• NEW ADDITION! - Uniqueness Bonus Points: Reverse sheep questions will generate bonus (negative) points if there are less than 6 people with unique answers according to the following table:
  1 Unique answer worth -9 additional points
  2 Uniques worth -5 points each
  3 Uniques worth -3 points each
  4 Uniques worth -2 points each
  5 Uniques worth -1 points each
  
• The B5Erik Rule - Every YouTube video not posted by me will result in a 10 point penalty. You have been warned.

If I run out of PM space, please post something here, and I'll copy the PMs out of my Inbox. All submissions are final unless I screw up and have to revise a question.

Apologies to The Bus for stealing his formatting.

I'm so in for this. I'll get you my answers tonight or tomorrow.

Edit: Also at the B5Erik rule.

I'll PM my answers to someone I consider trust worthy.

Credit goes to Bus for some of these questions as well.

By the way, do greatest hits albums count? I noticed you specified singles and live albums as not counting in general, but you didn't say anything about compilations, unless I missed it.

Ack. I meant to clarify that. Compilations, collections, box sets and Greatest Hits packages do NOT count.

More questions:

For number 18, are you asking for the most single famous song that is a cover, or for the song most known for being covered?

For 21, I presume we're defining "The Beatles" as only the official members of the band starting with the recording of their first album? Because there were other members prior to the recording of Please Please Me.

For 18, it's either, I'm not asking for a specific version of a song, just a song title.

For 21, yes. Best and Sutcliffe are wrong answers.

Apparently I'm really bad at this

But not George Martin ....?

PM Sent

Name a one hit wonder.

Person, or "hit"? I'm putting both just in case, but still is something that several should wonder when trying to answer.

E

18 is either? Because there is one song that is quantifiably the most covered song of all time, but none of the covers are as well known as the originals. That's different from a song that is a cover and that specific version is famous on its own.

damn, I couldn't think of anything for 17. hell the only one i could really think of was just recently released from prison

PM sent!

"A one hit wonder" must be a person/band, while their song would be the "one hit". I'll go with your artist.

Well I was asking for a famous cover song, not the most covered song, but if everybody answers the most covered song it should do well because it is a sheep question

I'm going to quit doing these before they even start!

Yeah everyone I thought of for that has been released within the last year, then I realized there was one I was overlooking.

I couldn't figure out one for the sophomore slump though...had to leave it blank.

Two people have e-mailed me what appears to be answers, and then another PM with a single question in the title. I have not opened any PMs because I haven't sent my answers yet. Are the 2nd PMs asking for clarification or changing answers? If it's changing answers I'll allow those two, but no more. Submissions are final to make it easier on me (especially since I'll have to start deleting PMs). If it's a clarification question, let me know so I can read and respond to you.

ALL SUBMITTED ANSWERS FROM THIS POINT FORWARD ARE FINAL UNLESS I CONTACT YOU OR STATE OTHERWISE.

I rather put something ridiculous, and subsequently be ridiculed, then leave something blank. I did answer "Godzilla" for famous Universal monster and "Saved by the Bell" for Happy Days spin-off, afterall.

E

My 2nd PM was asking for clarification on question #5

that was me.

This is going to be awesome.

Well I guess my questions don't matter now since I've already turned in my PM. FWIW, I went with a famous song that is a cover, not the most covered song of all time.

I don't expect to do well in this one at all, but answers have been submitted.

I submitted my answers, but it was disastrous. There was at least one Reverse Sheep question that I had no clue on.

PM sent, thanks Mordred!
