Yeee Bob Dylan !!! 

Some that were surprising to me:

I don't see why U2 or  Radiohead aren't in the middle of the pack (both are definition of mediocrity)
I'd also expect tool to be slightly higher, but then again a lot of their fans might be unambitious potheads :P

Classical is also really low, but I suspect that's because if you can't name a band and instead just come up with a genre, you're retarded.  All the genres are ranked a lot lower than individual bands in the genre. (Beethoven is off the charts in the complete list).

Also really to see Kanye West higher than Nas.  I would expect both to be low as it's mostly black people music, and blacks dont score as high on the SAT.  But still Nas being below Kanye West is backwards, as Nas's music is about as objectively smarter as possible than Kanye West's.

Also OAR is approaching Nickelback's level of boring music, so I'd expect them to be lower as well.

Would be interesting to see some more trance and real metal bands on the list  ;D

Had not expected The Killers to be on the same level as John Mayer. Besides that, I'd have expected Tool, Queen and Imogen Heap to be higher, while Red Hot Chili Peppers, U2 and Snow Patrol would be lower.
Really nice to see this **** :D

How accurate is this? I don't remember taking any music surveys before the SAT's

I like Sufjan Stevens.

I must be among the highest IQs of the ST community.
