Music!...Makes The People!...Stupid?

According to some researchers, your SAT scores can be predicted by the music you listen to. Correction: Who you listen to.

Listeners of rock artists like U2, Maroon 5 and Oasis, fall in the mid-range of the scale.

If you're fond of country artists like, Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney and Rascall Flatts, you're bound to be disappointed with your scores.

The smartest? Beethoven listeners score highest.

Oh, and apparently Soca music, Gospel and L'il Wayne makes you stupid. Sadly, Beyoncé is right there, too. This is further evidence to support J*O*E*'s accusations.

And no...Madonna isn't on the list, which I can only suspect indicates an intelligence that is off the charts -- and not less than zero, haters.

    duh on the country music. but to be fair, anyone who listens to that doesnt TAKE the sats, because they barely graduate high school

  2. I listen to a lot of classical, not always Beethoven, but I see that Kelly Clarkson and Kanye West BOTH beat general classical! WTF?

    I wonder where Vivaldi would be on that list?

  3. I had always thought that Madonna fell somewhere with U2 and Bob Dylan, but, her music isn't nearly as intelligent as she is...

    She's definitely smarter than Lil' Wayne, but, she did duet with Justin Timberlake, who barely squeezes past Beyonce.

    She may have made the chart if it were done in the early 90s, no?
