Okay, I want everyone to go take this lame ass quiz entitled "Who's Your Inner Rock Star?" and then come back here and reply and tell us your results, cos I think this will say way more about all of us than any old ILM poll or Introduce Yourself post. It takes about 6 minutes to do, swear.

Click here! Now!

Oh, yeah, I only posted this cos I took it and I came out as - drumroll please - COURTNEY LOVE. I am a cash cow and an evil whore. You all already knew this though. I just found it hilarious. I always knew that the "world is egging me on". Right on.

― Ally, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"unafraid to say exactly what's on your mind, and let everyone in on your quirky point of view" - hmm, yeah, I can relate...

"Intellectual and sexy, you continually dodge conventional stereotypes with your eclectic personal style." - oh, but of course. Who could deny it?

"Women are enthralled by your seductive energy, a perfect mix of intrigue and poetry." - yeah, NOW we're talking...!

"Yeah baby, the rock star part of you is all Beck." - SHITE!!!

― Tom, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

" Yeah baby, the rock star part of you is all Beck. Women are enthralled by your seductive energy, a perfect mix of intrigue and poetry. You and Beck have got it all together because you're unafraid to say exactly what's on your mind, and let everyone in on your quirky point of view. Intellectual and sexy, you continually dodge conventional stereotypes with your eclectic personal style. But when you really break it down, it's just your great sense of humor and easygoing talent that makes the crowds go wild. Throw a fiesta, and inspire your inner Beck."

― fred solinger, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Bizarre but I guess true...I am Lenny Kravitz!!

― james e l, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm Lenny fucking Kravitz!

I'm seriously bummed now.

― Tadeusz Suchodolski, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm Lenny too...

I tell you , those emode tests suck. The ones at thespark.com are way more interesting.

― Nick, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Scarily enough, *I'm* Beck too. What the flying fuck?

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You're only saying that cause you're not a perfect mixture of intrigue and poetry, Dastoor.

― Tom, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The rock star part of you is all Lenny Kravitz—a sexy powerhouse and unbridled megastar. Equal parts funk, soul, and psychedelia, you and Lenny embody one fundamental principle: Let Love Rule. You're a smooth, sensual persona—backed up by undying professional success— people can't get enough of you, especially the ladies. Because you're a wild passionate soul, no one is ever sure what you're likely to do next—jump off the stage or don a feather cape—but whatever it is, it's sure to please the crowd. So keep it loose and feed your inner Lenny!

Lord. I thought I had given honest answers.

― Patrick, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ha ha ha, i am bjork. please someone make me a dress that looks like an ostrich.

― maura, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

there are only two kind of men on ilm: beck and lenny kravitz. as i have long suspected.

― fred solinger, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Now there's a Taking Sides...

― Beck, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wow, Ally, I think you might be upset to find that I'm Beck. He's not much of a racist, sexist jerk Yeah baby, the rock star part of you is all Beck. Women are enthralled by your seductive energy, a perfect mix of intrigue and poetry. You and Beck have got it all together because you're unafraid to say exactly what's on your mind, and let everyone in on your quirky point of view. Intellectual and sexy, you continually dodge conventional stereotypes with your eclectic personal style. But when you really break it down, it's just your great sense of humor and easygoing talent that makes the crowds go wild. Throw a fiesta, and inspire your inner Beck.

― , Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The funny thing is, I am a pefect mix of poetry and intrigue. That's so me. Ask anyone.

― Nick, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

umm, i ended up as ricky martin.

phew, at least i'm not beck i guess...

― gareth, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

which means that, apparently i've got moves that make the ladies hearts go a-flutter

er, so that'll be me breakdancing to bogdan raczynski then?

― gareth, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tommy Lee! You're all losers!

― Kris, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tommy Lee is the male equivalent of Courtney Love (according to emode, that is). Beck=Bjork and Lenny=Macy Gray for fuck's sake. I demand a recount.

― Nick, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm off to throw a fiesta and inspire my inner Beck.

― scott p., Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm bloody Beck as well. Knackers and piss.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

MACY GRAY??

Nick, when you're in a hole, stop digging.

― Tom, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wound up as Beck, too. I find quizzes like this to be a bit stupid anyhow (yet I keep doing them) because they seriously limit your answers. For example, "what are you doing at 11:30pm on a Tuesday": well, none of the above, but I picked "asleep" because the others weren't exactly it either. And best forum for live music was none of the above, so I picked "intimate club" even though I'd get choked out by the cigarette smoke. My inner rock star is probably more someone like Dean Wareham or Dave Bidini. All I can do is thank god that I wasn't Lenny Kravitz. If that was the case, I'd have to kill myself now.

― Sean Carruthers, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I may just do that, Sean. Are there no Britneys amongst you?

― Nick, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

macy gray=lenny kravitz apart from emode.com as well.

i'm waiting for otis to now inevitably chime in as tommy lee.

― fred solinger, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Kris beats the fuck out of all of us. And yes, if Otis isn't Tommy as well, then something is wrong with the universe.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Someone ought to write to emode and tell them to expand the possible rock stars you can be! I wanna be "obscure singing saw player in 70's folk covers band, now working as a university lecturer"

― james e l, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sting. I guess I'll have to cut down on my use of hydrocarbons although the tantric sex could be interesting it might get in the way of my drinking.

I was hoping for Jan or Dean.

― Steven James, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I decided to take this test as both a male and a female.

M = Rocker Tommy Lee

F = Courtney Love

I am everyone's favorite party fiend. But on MY terms.

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The other thing I don't like about emode, aside from its rampant amateurism, is the way it assumes certain tests will only be taken by women. Like the 'wedding date predictor'. I'm all geared up for it and then the first question is Have most of the guys you've dated looked similar? and I'm like "B-b-b-but I've never dated a guy"

― Nick, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm Beck. Hmph!

― Mike Hanley, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The full list, btw:

Ricky Martin / Britney Spears

Eminem / Madonna

Chris Isaac / Sade

Lenny Kravitz / Macy Gray

Tommy Lee / Courtney Love

Beck / Bjork

Sting / Celine Dion

Randy Travis / Faith Hill

― Nick, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Feel it, sweetheart; the rock star in you is all Britney—the envy of cheerleaders everywhere. One part girl next door, one part naughty sex kitten, you're definitely not as innocent as you look. And that is why nobody can get enough of you. You are the ultimate American girl with some serious staying power. Unlike other success stories, you and Britney are more than just a pretty face: you've got talent, confidence, and the brains to back it up. With a talent list like yours it's no wonder you're at the top of the popularity charts and young men's hearts. We love you. Shout out your inner Britney!"

― la spears, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hang on Fred, I thought you were Beck. Anyway, aren't all these profiles a bit complimentary.? Where's the "You are Fred Durst and you should take a good hard look at yourself you stupid jumped up cockfarmer"?

― Nick, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i'm beck when i'm a BOY, you see. as a girl, i am britney spears. i answered three questions differently but not radically and POOF! britney!

― fred solinger, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Me and Kris totally need to get together and trash some hotel rooms and get tattoos, yo. We're the bad asses of ILM.

If I knew the lot of you were all Beck I'd have never come on this message board, jesus.

― Ally, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm only Beck under duress, mannnnn.

― Sean Carruthers, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, Tommy Lee did beat on his wives and he does have emotional as well as substance abuse problems. And he did go to jail. That's pretty cool. And, those tattoos are neat.

― , Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You fools, I'm not Kris, I thought we established that a long time ago, so I'm also not Tommy Lee. All you Becks can off yourselves, I'm Eminem.

― Otis Wheeler, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Are you sure that's a full list, Nick? 'Cause I'm Ronnie James Dio. Completely off. I've never worn a cape, I swear.

― Andy, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sounds like you found the Easter Egg, Andy. A rotten one, at that.

― Sean Carruthers, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ronnie James Dio ! Are you serious ?? I'm so jealous !!!

― Patrick, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Aw hell -- I confess that I'm not Ronnie James Dio. I wish, though. The range of that man's voice! I wouldn't want his romantic troubles, however.

I actually ended up with Romeo Blue/Lenny Kravitz.

― Andy, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Eminem! Rock! The three of us should team up, we're the mentally unbalanced lot of ILM. That's so great.

― Ally, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it'd be like methods of mayhem, but with added bonus courtney love!

― fred solinger, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

CURSE YOU, KELMAN, I will never believe another word you say!

― Sean Carruthers, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

As a triad, that really works. Viva the Rockstars!

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

With Tommy Lee around, Eminem sure would get plenty of material for writing sequels to "Kim".

― Patrick, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I had no idea that Lenny Kravitz spends his Tuesday nights watching TV, isn't that comfortable around unpredictable people, listens to music just loud enough to tap his feet to and has a modestly decorated room. Interestingly enough, when I fell asleep waiting for the results, I realized that maybe my energy levels weren't that satisfactory and purchasing Boards of Canada CDs probably won't make me that much happier. After making the necessary adjustments, I ended up as Chris Isaak. Chris Isaak: Just a lethargic Lenny?

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm Tommy Lee. At least I'm a drummer.

― JM, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Caruthers -- take off and listen to Glass Tiger, okay? Besides, there are two Ls in my last name. I have my company's Star Wars Name Generator method of assigning email addresses to blame for that, I spose.

This Inner Rock Star thing has scarred me. I can't get "American Woman" out of my head. Urgh. I am so un-rock and roll compared to Lenny. I CAN say that I once had a cab driver discriminate against me. It wasn't the color of my skin -- it was... um... never mind.

― Andy, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Whoops, sorry about that. I am almost tempted to try to leverage my allmusic.com freelance reviewing experience into a full-time job, just so I can get the email address 'seacar'. COOL.

It's interesting that you're associating Kravitz with the hit by those other fine Canucks, the Guess Who. Interesting because I've always associated Lenny Krabodex with who he's ripped off (Zep, Bowie, what have you). Sometimes he's just more obvious that others.

― Sean Carruthers, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I shave my face with some mace in the dark, saving all my foodstamps to buy up a trailerpark.

― bnw, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Naturally, I don't know what 'emode' is, but it's true about Nicky D being poetic and soulful and stuff. I know, I've met him. He's lovely.

― the pinefox, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hm...at that rate I'd have a 'nedrag' e-mail address. Which is almost poetic.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ricky Martin! Top that, sweetheart.

― Sterling Clover, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Lenny Fucking Kravitz. I'd be less upset if it had come back saying "Adolf Hitler". That's it. I'm going to bed. Bastard.

― David, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

FUCK. Ally I hate you, I've discovered I'm Beck too.

― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm Lemmy!!!

Uh, oh wait, that's 'Lenny'. FUck. I have more talent in my little finger than...

― Tim Baier, Tuesday, 22 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i'm trying to figure out who the male equivalent of christina aguilera might be. pop music needs more trashy, slutty guys, i think.

― maura, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

apparently i'm beck. i'd rather be bjork, though. i want a rap version.

― ethan, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Christina Aguilera = Euroboy, for those in the know.

― Otis Wheeler, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh no...my inner star is...gah...Beck! Time for an enema to flush the bugger out, I think.

― DG, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I really don't know why ended up as another Lenny Kravitz. This is wrong, I demand I'm one of Daft Punk!!

― Omar, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

But I thought Christina Aguilera = Otis Wheeler.

― proton, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

HA! I'M BRITNEY. Except can I be the ultimate English girl please?

Feel it, sweetheart; the rock star in you is all Britney—the envy of cheerleaders everywhere. One part girl next door, one part naughty sex kitten, you're definitely not as innocent as you look. And that is why nobody can get enough of you. You are the ultimate American girl with some serious staying power. Unlike other success stories, you and Britney are more than just a pretty face: you've got talent, confidence, and the brains to back it up. With a talent list like yours it's no wonder you're at the top of the popularity charts and young men's hearts. We love you. Shout out your inner Britney

No I didn't cheat.

― Emma, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Huzzah! A real Britney!

no wonder you're at the top of the popularity charts

If only that's what pop charts stood for. A nationwide popularity contest, like at school but bigger and with Britney to vote for.

Except can I be the ultimate English girl please?

Yes.

― Nick, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Shit - I'm *Momus*!

― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

macy gray? whaaaa?????

― amy, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

shit.... i'm Eminem

― geordie racer, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm Bjork.

"Sweet and Humble"? Erm... do they have the right person here?

― masonic boom, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This is terrific. I can say I've been for a Britney with Britney.

― Tom, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

But I thought Christina Aguilera = Otis Wheeler.

Only in so much as we both philander with dames dressed as French whores.

― Otis Wheeler, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You've got the courage to experiment with your style and career, and all the while remaining positively sweet and humble. You are as much a free spirit as they come. Celebrate your inner Bjork.

Well, I change my hair colour every month.. and I still think I look ugly.. yay! Bjork! I love her anyways. She developed off of an obsession with Yoko Ono.

― Alexis Dicks, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"I can say I've been for a Britney with Britney."

Y'know, I much prefer the other rhyming slang for Britney... "There's Trevor Francis... on the verge of Britneys".

― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 23 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tommy Lee, baby! RAWK ON!

And here I was paralyzed with fear that I was going to be Beck. :)

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 24 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wouldn't you go for a few Britneys seeing as how her name isn't Spear?

Having thought about this I am now trying to distance myself from my Britney identity.

― Emma, Thursday, 24 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Beck. I guess John Cale wasnt available ;)

― Simon, Thursday, 24 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Lenny fucking Kravitz. I've never worn a pair of sequined flares in my life.

― Michael Bourke, Thursday, 24 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tommy Lee. I can live with that.

― Ian White, Thursday, 24 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Rock on, Ian is awesome as hell. You better come to my party so we can trash some shit.

― Ally, Thursday, 24 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

BLURILLAZ.

― fred solinger, Thursday, 24 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Britney — w/o cheating or trolling (cept obviously to ignore the fascist gender profiling stuff at the start).

But it's not a proper list cuz in real life my inner me is Joan Jett.

― mark s, Sunday, 27 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Quelle surprise. I am Bjork.

― Kim, Sunday, 27 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Okay. We've been trying to figure this out all fucking weekend. Fred, BLURILLAZ?

― Ally, Sunday, 27 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Another Beck, I'm afraid. But fallacious of course - a hybrid of Harry Secombe, Donald Ayler, Richard Maxfield, Sheila Jordan and Mike Paradinas would be nearer the mark. Or possibly Al Martino. Most recent passport photos, however, reveal depressingly increasing resemblance to stalwart Scots actor Ken Stott.

― Marcello Carlin, Sunday, 27 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh Christ, another Beck. I think I'd almost rather be Sting. I never thought I'd here myself say those words.

― Ally C, Monday, 28 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Or even hear myself say those words. The education system has fairly gone downhill in recent years..

― Ally C, Monday, 28 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Believe me, it's no picnic being Sting. I can't get Andy Summers to take the delay off his guitar and that rainforest! It's gonna take me a whole season to get that operation turned around.

So no one here is a Celine Dion? The internet fails me again.

― Steven James, Tuesday, 29 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

eleven months pass...

WHAT THE FUCK?...I got Britney Spears. Why the hell? I HATE Britney Spears. Music, person,et al. This quiz is a piece of shit. Don't take it. I bet you can't get Gilli Smyth...

― Anna Rose, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Dom, your inner rock star is Chris Isaak!

Oooh, you're smooth! The rock star part of you is all charm, and all Chris Isaak. That slow smile and sensual nature are absolutely intoxicating, especially to the ladies. They can't get enough of you and that dreamy smile.

― Dom Passantino, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

britney spears, syd barrett, whats the diff?

― gareth, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Gah! Confusing thread revivals - I keep thinking "ooh fred's back on ILM"

― Jeff W, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah all the threads seem to have May dates and it takes me about 10 posts down before i realise it was last year

― michael, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am Tommy Lee, which is something of a surprise. I'd have thought I'm more the Elvis Costello type, which I say with no pride...

― Martin Skidmore, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

for ANNA:

what member of Gong are you?

ANNA you are gilly smyth. You are the coolest person on the interweb.

― mark s, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I was Chris Isaak in this quiz. Gross, I hate Chris Isaak.

― dleone, Friday, 24 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

four years pass...

your inner rock star is Randy Travis

Yup, there's no denying your inner rock star is Randy T. Deep down you're as American as they come, enjoying life's simple pleasures—a little laughing, a little loving. In fact, when you're in love's embrace, you've been known to toss out some syrupy lines or even carve your names on a tree. But that's OK, we all expect such down-home chivalry from you. Plain and simple, you're a man with a big heart. At the same time, you've got a little bit of a rebellious streak to round out the profile. Let's face it: you're a success, a dream date, a well-balanced, multitalented, all-around nice guy. And man, that voice of yours melts hearts as fast as a butter pat on hot mashed potatoes. Feed your inner Randy!

WTF. I've never even HEARD Randy Travis.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Saturday, 9 September 2006 02:52 (nineteen years ago)

I think the test is trying to tell me that I am fucking boring, but then what does Chris Isaak mean?

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Saturday, 9 September 2006 02:56 (nineteen years ago)

I'm the only Sade so far?

Ooooh lady, you've got it going on. The rock star part of you is all Sade. Sleek, sexy, and untouchable, you are the ultimate smooth operator. People tune in to you whenever they want to unwind and get into that sexy mood. You know how to keep cool and keep a low profile. And you're never one to unveil your mystique by making too many appearances. By staying true to your talent and staying out of the spotlight, you've become as rare and welcome as love's first blush at sunset. The fans are totally fascinated, so go ahead and use it. Strut your inner Sade.

I believe the methodology of this quiz is slightly flawed!

― musically (musically), Saturday, 9 September 2006 04:06 (nineteen years ago)

Ok, I downloaded some early Randy Travis singles. They're not bad. Less boring than most of the Chris Isaak I've heard.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Monday, 11 September 2006 21:27 (nineteen years ago)

he's only like the greatest male pop singer of all time or something

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 11 September 2006 21:28 (nineteen years ago)

Fuck that noise. Prince.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Monday, 11 September 2006 21:41 (nineteen years ago)
