	good idea, poor execution.

	This was an ok idea. You should have used the stereotypical bands for each genre. E.g. The Ramones is a pretty good example of punk but DMB is not an archetype of alternative rock.

	Elvis Presley is not a good example of blues, and blues, reggae and country are not subgenres of rock music.

	Flyleaf is the furthest thing from screAmo. Should be Thursday or The Used.

	Classic rock isn't a real genre. Bands didn't set out to play classic rock. Sorry it just irks me.

	and if you want to add post-rock, sigur ros perhaps

	agree with the fact that country, reggae, and blues are not sub genres of rock, if you want to keep elvis in put him under rockabilly or something, also many of the bands could fit into other categories and really are not a defining band of their genres, like pink floyd, they were progressive at times but were also very psychedelic, maybe put rush or yes for example for prog, otherwise good idea for a quiz

	if you say country, you should at least make it country rock. Country is different then country rock cause country rock has more guitar focused parts but still a southern twang (i would put allman brothers band or possibly lynyrd skynyrd for that)
