	To follow up rockgolf's (archived) comment about Parliament/Funkadelic. The main reason was that the two groups recorded on different labels. Parliament recorded for Casablanca Records while Funkadelic recorded on Westbound and then Warner Records. Also, Parliament had developed from a doo-wop group founded by Clinton known as the Parliaments, and turned into a vocal-dominated group while Clinton initially formed Funkadelic as the back-up band for Parliament. BUT, Clinton temporarily lost the rights to the Parliaments name and recorded as Funkadelic for a couple of years. Once he regained the rights to the Parliaments name, he changed it to Parliament and created a separate legal group. After Casablanca Records collapsed, Clinton dissolved both groups but eventually recorded with many members of the whole collective before officially restoring the group as the P-Funk All-Stars. (And that is the SHORT version of the history.)

	Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem? TOTALLY wasn't expecting that. 5 Sporcles just for that.

	Can't believe that only 12.4% are getting Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. Or maybe I'm showing my age :).

	As I was playing this, I was asking myself, "What makes these so strange?" And then I realized, I listen to most of these bands, no wonder this was so easy. :) Finally a music Sporcle with decent bands!

	? and the Mysterians. What an awesome band.

	Hejman:	Jan 6th, 2011 at 13:23 GMT		3 points
	@Khazar49- If you thought 'the artist formerly known as Prince' was weird, you should check out more information about ? and the Mysterians. From their Wikipedia page: "The band's frontman and primary songwriter was ?. He claimed (and still claims) to be a Martian who lived with dinosaurs in a past life, and he never appears in public without sunglasses. He talks about traveling into the future and visiting other planets, asserting that he has done so. No other witnesses are known to have shared his questionable claims." The article there is actually a funny read in that dozens of sentences begin with a question mark.

	I loooooooove Toad the Wet ________ !!! Never met anyone who's heard of them before, definitely never expected to see them on a Sporcle quiz :)

	KylieG328:	Jan 6th, 2011 at 17:07 GMT		-3 points
	I think Digital Underground should be accepted.

	NY_MOB:	Jan 6th, 2011 at 17:32 GMT		10 points
	Digital underground should not be acepted because the clue was "The ____ Underground", not just "____ Underground".

	Toad the Wet Sprocket is a fantastically talented and creative band. Thanx for including them. And thanx for including Dr. Teeth. That made me smile bigtime.

	NY_MOB:	Jan 6th, 2011 at 17:36 GMT		1 point
	One pick: "20" is accepted for Matchbox Twenty, but "3" isn't accepted for Three Dog Night. Other than that, excellent quiz. And thanx for including so many really great bands.

	Hejman:	Jan 6th, 2011 at 17:44 GMT		1 point
	Good catch, NY_MOB, that can be fixed. Also, I was pleased to see during the research for this that Toad the Wet Sprocket is back together and recording again.

	Me First and the Gimme Gimmes! Woot! 5 orbs!

	"I was a very big fan of Toad The Wet Sprocket" "You might want to keep that to yourself" - Only reason I was able to get that answer.

	it's true that a lot of these names are odd, but some of these aren't that weird. smashing pumpkins, three dog night, and rage against the machine all make sense when you understand the background of the bands or what the phrase means.
