	@redsox635: If Simple Minds released a song called "In A Simple Mind", the band would have been recognized by more people.

	I think I'll get voted down, but too much scrolling and typing. 20 mins was actually not enough time.

	TonyT074:	Nov 16th, 2011 at 19:53 GMT		10 points
	too big

	yrralh:	Nov 16th, 2011 at 19:58 GMT		15 points
	Awesome quiz, but way too much scrolling. I had to keep remembering things and if the answers had come up at the top I might have remembered better. And it is C+C Music Factory, not C&C.

	No one has said it so far but too much scrolling.

	Kicking - the point is that other quizzes have the clue next to the answer box so you don't have to scroll, so there is a design methodology that allows the author to prevent the scrolling issue. Loved the quiz, but I agree with the scrolling comments.

	lesmiz:	Nov 16th, 2011 at 23:59 GMT		7 points
	For #209, "DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince" should be an acceptable answer.

	RODWOOD71:	Nov 17th, 2011 at 00:10 GMT		4 points
	Great quiz but I agree with the majority. We needed more time with all of the scrolling.

	Ah, Musical Youth. I haven't thought about them in half a lifetime. I guess they'd be Musical Middle-Agers now.

	I thought Tonight, Tonight was by HOT CHALLE RAE hha

	whatta man is by salt n pepa not en vogue, mo money mo problems is notorious big not mase

	adamnvillani:	Nov 17th, 2011 at 05:29 GMT		2 points
	Phil Collins had "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight." Smashing Pumpkins had "Tonight, Tonight." And "Tonight" was in West Wide Story.

	senordingdong:	Nov 17th, 2011 at 23:44 GMT		3 points
	This lists screams 1997.

	fanniefarkle:	Nov 18th, 2011 at 02:02 GMT		3 points
	I needed more time. I didn't even get to read some of the song names.

	statephone:	Nov 18th, 2011 at 06:17 GMT		5 points
	If MTV had ceased to exist around 1997 they would have a lot to be proud of. Alas...

	Pogues:	Nov 18th, 2011 at 12:07 GMT		1 point
	Strike up another for more time because of the scrolling. Maybe Sporcle needs to consider longer quiz times. And I can't believe how many people got the Cardigans vs. other bands appearing on the list below it. I was so proud of myself that I snuck that one in until I saw nearly 1 in 5 got it.

	Bigs3465:	Nov 18th, 2011 at 18:17 GMT		1 point
	Accept Biggie Smalls!

	BluesFan44:	Nov 19th, 2011 at 02:38 GMT		3 points
	@Adamnvillani, Techincally "Tonight, tonight, tonight" was Genesis, not Phil COllins solo.

	adamnvillani:	Nov 19th, 2011 at 23:46 GMT		1 point
	Oh crud, I can't believe I made that mistake. I'm a big Genesis fan and if my brain isn't turned off I could easily tell you which songs are Collins solo vs. the band. You got me there.

	rtsgirl51405:	Nov 20th, 2011 at 06:18 GMT		-4 points
	ok am i missing something? most of these songs are not from 1997,but earlier some even in the 80s.....maybe im having a blonde moment?

	Philibusta:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 10:18 GMT		1 point
	@rtsgirl: yep. you were. dont sweat it - it happens. the list is the top 500 of all time (since MTV started)...and said list was COMPILED in 1997.

	cellodave:	Dec 6th, 2011 at 03:07 GMT		2 points
	I was proud of myself for getting Musical Youth.

	Kenne:	Dec 21st, 2011 at 09:33 GMT		1 point
	I got 142 without looking at the songs, based on memory. I taped the original countdown and would watch the videos for years to come.
