 * 1) I got 6.--Scott Mac (Doc) 23:29, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) 5. --MZMcBride (talk) 23:47, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) 6. And I'll have bad dreams about the Bono version. --Joopercoopers (talk) 00:05, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) 6 ... the Bono question was a sucker one, I think, because everyone (including me) presumably would go that's so bad it has to be Shatner... ++Lar: t/c 00:22, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) I got eight with the volume muted.  Nine once you factor in the bonus point for being the creator of this. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 01:01, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) Seven. Misfired on the Blake question. Sceptre (talk) 18:12, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) 5. Who is or are Blake?  The Leonard Cohen version is most beautiful because of his voice, but I prefer other songs such as Everybody Knows.  The most consistently great writer of popular song still living. --TS 22:36, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 8) * Giggled a bit the other day when I encountered this song in Watchmen. That is an alarmingly good film.  --TS 16:34, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 9) * More giggles: Stay the Hell Away from Halleluhah by the great Mitch Benn. --TS 17:11, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 10) 6. Missed the boyband question and the spoken word version. Not bad considering I've never heard of this song or any of its myriad recordings before, and was unfamiliar with about a third of the performers listed.  Horologium  (talk) 03:13, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 5, ho hum.  Garden . 22:59, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 6, got the 'by the original artist' wrong and one other I don't care about either... and Willie Nelson should be ashamed of himself.--Alf melmac 15:07, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 7, nice! Adam Penale (talk)
 * 1) 6. Plus an extra point for seeing Cohen sing it in concert the other week.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:19, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd be more impressed had you seen Buckley sing it.--Scott Mac (Doc) 13:23, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) 5 -Samwisep86 (talk) 07:11, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 6, but I guessed on a couple and happened to be right. Glass  Cobra  21:35, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) 4! - I'd heard of like 4-5 of those artists before. Luck + easy last helped.Lejman (talk) 09:54, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) 7 - Nice find! Except now I have to listen to I'm Your Fan again ;) ˉˉanetode╦╩ 17:40, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) 5! But I must admit that one was just pure luck (I can take credit for Cohen, Buckley, Bono and Burke). --  lucasbfr  talk 13:24, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 5, with some luck because there were a number of artists I hadn't heard of. *Dan T.* (talk) 14:37, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 6, and I am still kicking myself for not getting Bono. --Richhoncho (talk) 21:49, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 1, not saying which one to avoid an inadvertent spoiler for those who stumbled upod the challenge here by chance. In this vein, I cannot count Bono since I glimpsed it here, but I probably wouldn't have recognised him either. Wow, am I bad. And I like the song. 78.34.164.53 (talk) 04:27, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) 5  Majorly  talk  14:29, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) 6 Ok, it is amazing how kd lang and Bonnie Raitt sound the same. Kingturtle (talk) 20:39, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) 7 Can't tell "popular" operatic ensembles apart. – The Parting Glass 06:58, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) This user GOT A 2!!!! ResMar 22:44, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) 5 - messed up kd/Bonnie, popera, and Bono (I expected better of him).--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 21:24, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) 5 -- missed the same questions, amusingly enough... -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:25, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) 2; what a disaster!  Rebirth  T  hom   22:09, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 8) 7 I am only familiar with the original Cohen version but got others through voice recognition or logic, and some luck. I discovered Leonard Cohen from "The Future" over end credits of Natural Born Killers and found his other works via Youtube.  Thank heavens for YouTube and Wikipedia!
 * 9) 6 -- Missed the "poperatic" and spoken word versions. P.S. Other than Buckley's and Imogen Heap's versions, I think most of the covers have been rather pointless, bringing nothing new to the song. Mike R (talk) 15:54, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 10) 1... –Juliancolton Talk  ·  Review  15:37, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 11) 5 -- JocK (talk) 20:59, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 12) 6 – missing questions 2 famous son and 5 definitive version – I don't want to give the answer away to persons reading this before taking the test. Sswonk (talk) 23:19, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 13) 8--Full disclosure: I guessed correctly six times :)  Tide  rolls  20:04, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * 14) 6--guess on all of them save the Willie Nelson/Bono one. Yar. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 12:47, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * 15) 7 -- Just like someone before me, I can't tell "popular" operatic ensembles apart. BLAKE?!?!?!?!  I was only familiar with the Jeff Buckley version, and they should have had a tie-in to his definitive song - Last Goodbye.  Better than Hallelujah. Tim Sailor (talk) 20:59, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 5
