I think I know a lot about music. I listen to a variety of genres and I keep up on contemporary styles and artists. Then I go on to Spotify and see artists I've never even heard of with multiple songs hitting billion+ downloads and I'm reminded that I know nothing.

We read too much into how people answer random questions. I probably have a favourite Beatles song but I’m damn sure I don’t have a favourite, e.g. One Direction song. FWIW I don’t have a favourite biscuit either.
