No Wrong Answers (the big MFP music questionnaire)

Hi I'm Mike, have you ever wondered what the music tastes of friends & users on MFP are? Or like me are a bit music geeky & just like talking about it. Being fashionable or credible is not the criteria, no brownie points for lies or criticising others. Shock horror I don't have a Bob Dylan, David Bowie or Elvis Album. Yes I'm a heretic. ( I can't fill it in now, watching sport. But please get involved)
