Hi Dark, I'm definitely the opposite there. I really don't like classical music much and my strengths would be country, pop, and rock. Especially, if discussing artists from the 70's and 80's since that is mainly what I listen to when I listen to music.
For example, if someone were to look at my music collection on disc they'd discover I have two very large cases full of discs spanning the 1970's and 1980's. I've got everything from mixed collections of one hit wonders to entire discographies of certain artests. Hall & Oats, Madonna, Heart, Phil Collins, Bryan Adams, Pat Benatar, Tears for Fears, the Eagles, etc. You name it I probably got it. Therefore if I got into a category of classic rock I could do very well. Not only with my own extensive knowledge of the 70's and 80's, when I grew up, I'm familiar with the rock groups of my parent's generation such as the Beattles, Rolling Stones, Lesley Gore, Buddy Holly, the Yard Birds, etc. So even though I don't own a lot of 50's and 60's music myself I do know the songs and who sang them. As far as movies goes that really depends on the category. Growing up I mainly was interested in sci-fi movies like Star Trek, Star Wars, Back to the Future, and the various B movies from the 50's and 60's like Forbidden Planet or Creature from the Black Lagoon. In a case like that I'd probably do well. However, when it comes to comedy, romance, drama, etc it would be pretty up in the air. I watch those movies with my family, but they aren't what I have an interest in normally on my own so would probably be rather weak in that particular area. Although, I'm probably more open to new movies right now simply because my wife and I often rent movies to watch on the weekend so that sort of keeps me in touch with who's who in the current movie industry. Cheers!
