With musical talent!?!?!?!?  I'd say more like using 1d10 to figure
out the category...  :-)  There is no way in the world you should have
Huey Lewis (*not* Louis) classified as `Heavy Metal'; he qualifies more
as straight rock'n'roll to slightly bluesy rock.  Not to mention
ranking him as 'Lousy', but what with your taste...
