	Of course, with a quiz of this magnitude, I'm bound to miss some of your favorites, so if you can't find them, feel free to comment with your suggestion. While I imagine there are a few world music fans out there, I tried to limit this to English-language musicians only (sorry Luciano Pavarotti fans!). However, instrumentalists like Kenny G can be accounted for. A minimum of 3 picks would be nice, and try to keep it to 10 at a maximum. Have fun with this Ultimate Sporcle Music poll!

	And just to clarify: Once you pick your favorites, you can go straight to "Give Up". This is one of the few quizzes where there's no shame in that!

	Not much in the indie/folk genre, like Vampire Weekend, Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and Explosions in the Sky. Great ide!

	b_n:	Apr 16th, 2012 at 03:21 GMT		4 points
	Not enough punk rock in my opinion

	switchfootgirl:	Apr 16th, 2012 at 03:23 GMT		1 point
	Add Switchfoot! I actually liked this survey.

	No Justin Bieber!!! Yayyyy!!!!!

	prockstar83:	Apr 16th, 2012 at 05:27 GMT		3 points
	I'd love to see some N.E.R.D., STP, Ben Folds, Zero 7, Black Crowes, and others. But that's just because I'm selfish. Solid idea, huge undertaking, good for you!

	gigi92:	Apr 16th, 2012 at 06:17 GMT		3 points
	You should add the Pixies.

	Alex951998:	Apr 16th, 2012 at 07:26 GMT		1 point
	@b_n, which bands would you like me to add? no genre is off-limits! As to all the other suggestions, thank you, I'll add them in shortly. Keep them coming!

	Wezzo:	Apr 16th, 2012 at 09:55 GMT		4 points
	Could you add They Might Be Giants, Barenaked Ladies, Magnetic Fields, The Gaslight Anthem and Morrissey?

	Cryptus:	Apr 16th, 2012 at 11:43 GMT		2 points
	Would like to see Kraftwerk and maybe Soft Cell in there, but a pretty decent range of artists in there.

	Alex951998:	Apr 16th, 2012 at 13:55 GMT		1 point
	Not sure how I missed Kraftwerk and Morissey, but as I mentioned, I was bound to miss some obvious choices, heh. All your suggestions will be added shortly.

	Satchsurfer:	Apr 16th, 2012 at 16:31 GMT		2 points
	Maybe add Dream Theater, they have a large following

	nhrafan:	Apr 16th, 2012 at 17:07 GMT		2 points
	Boston!!! OK, I was born about 30 years too late, but I can't get enough of their stuff. Also, some throwback bands are really good, too (The Darkness comes to mind).

	Bass260:	Apr 16th, 2012 at 20:16 GMT		1 point
	Ramones, Slayer, Megadeth

	vogelpoep:	Apr 16th, 2012 at 20:20 GMT		2 points
	Kaiser Chiefs? Wolfmother? Editors?

	Alex951998:	Apr 16th, 2012 at 21:12 GMT		2 points
	All those will be added shortly. I don't feel good about missing James Brown, but I got you chaste.

	Alex951998:	Apr 16th, 2012 at 21:18 GMT		2 points
	So far, the top 10 Favorite Sporcle MusiciansTM are: 1.Beatles 2.Led Zeppelin 3.Guns n' Roses 4.Nirvana 5.Pink Floyd 6.Radiohead 7.Clash 8.Elton John 9.Foo Fighters 10.REM Let's see if that changes up a bit, but so far it looks legit. Thanks for the nice reception this has gotten so far. Any suggestions to make this poll better?

	DerKomissar:	Apr 17th, 2012 at 02:31 GMT		1 point
	Manic Street Preachers!

	RDWRER:	Apr 17th, 2012 at 03:35 GMT		2 points
	For the country fans out there, perhaps some combination of Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney and/or Tim McGraw? They are big enough, with long enough careers, to warrant some love (especially since you include artists like Taylor Swift and Shania Twain). I do appreciate the inclusion of Alabama, Strait and Brooks, however. And while the inclusion of Stevie Ray was great for us blues fans, B.B. King probably merits a spot as well. Terrific quiz.

	redsox635:	Apr 17th, 2012 at 06:42 GMT		3 points
	Simple Minds (pretty much nobody in America knows them, but my favorite, so I have to). The Weepies...Death Cab for Cutie? (for that matter, I prefer The Postal Service)...Actually a great list overall

	Alex951998:	Apr 17th, 2012 at 12:57 GMT		1 point
	I will get those added in as well :)

	@SleapeeHed, mellish: If you've noticed, those who have suggested have kept it to the 3-10 I was asking for. If you tell me which of those are YOUR actual favorites, I am willing to add them. However, this isn't meant to cover every popular artist in existence.

	4tothe4th:	Apr 18th, 2012 at 03:55 GMT		3 points
	NOFX, Bad Religion, and Descendents please. :)

	Smitten:	Apr 18th, 2012 at 04:40 GMT		-1 points
	Got Killers, Florence + the Machine, Queen, Elvis, Billy Joel. Needs Josh Groban, Adam Lambert, Mika, and Neon Trees please. This was fun!

	Alex951998:	Apr 18th, 2012 at 21:42 GMT		2 points
	Will get those added. I'm surprised this is still getting play, heh. Also, it seems like the Top 10 has shaken up a bit. 1.Beatles (0 change) 2.Led Zeppelin (0) 3.Queen (debut) 4.Who (debut) 5.Nirvana (-1) 6.Pink Floyd (-1) 7.Red Hot Chili Peppers (debut) 8.Rolling Stones (debut) 9.Guns n' Roses (-6) 10.Radiohead (-4) The Clash, Elton John, Foo Fighters, and REM have all fallen out of the Top Ten, but it's still a good list. Thanks Sporclers for continuing to participate!

	My favorite two bands are the Avett Brothers and the Decemberists, would be nice to see them in there.

	Flight of the Conchords?

	alleyt1989:	Apr 19th, 2012 at 16:18 GMT		1 point

	chaste:	Apr 19th, 2012 at 19:19 GMT		2 points
	Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, O'Jays and Booker T. and the MG's !!

	nekkidandrew:	Apr 19th, 2012 at 21:12 GMT		2 points
	I second Avett Brothers, and I'd also love to see The Hold Steady. Appears to be shaping up quite nicely - fun idea!

	thetrooper:	Apr 19th, 2012 at 21:52 GMT		0 points
	Probably not that popular of a choice, but I would have voted for Rise Against if they were there. Also, everyone should vote for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, since they are pretty much the best

	thetrooper:	Apr 19th, 2012 at 21:54 GMT		2 points
	Oh and of Montreal is a pretty sweet band also
