thought id try this idea... see how it goes..

 

rate these musical genres by awarding each one points between 0-10. unlike the usual rate games ill not bother with the one 11 and the one -1. this rate is for people who are familiar with most of the genres, but please award a n/a if theres one that you dont know. (a numbered score will not reflect upon its position).
