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... \tom haapanen watmath!watdcsu!haapanen
