I thought the different genres and obscurity of some of the bands and some of the songs added a nice touch to the quiz. Good one!

A big surprise cuz I don't know of some of the bands - like all the other commenters. I think we all get The Police but Café Tacuba, Nick Drake, Spoon and The Shins...? I missed 2.

Thing is though, you don't get much more mainstream than The Police, but only %27 got that one right. It's hard call because you don't want to make it too easy. Thanks for the feedback guys!

Didn't help that I didn't recognize a lot of the artists. Guess I need to start listenting to more music. 3 out of 10…not great. Didn’t help that I didn’t recognize a lot of the artists.

Some lesser known songs and lesser known bands on this one turned me off. Probably would be a better quiz with songs that everybody knows.
