	It should be "Buffett" with two Ts, not one.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Oh, and the quiz also does not accept "Zappa" for Frank Zappa.

	Rush should be "The Spirit of Radio."

	Why is there an apostrophe in the clue for Faith No More?

	bloop:	Feb 23rd, 2010 at 04:41 GMT		2 points
	Kinda fun, I liked how I could guess on some of them from the names without being familiar with the CD's. made it interesting.

	Is it just me or does Madonna not fit here? Very good quiz.

	the concept of a greatest hits album has been ruined for me since i saw "the best of vanilla ice" in a store when i was 14.

	I was very sad to see that "Greatest Hits from the Bong" - Cyprus Hill was not on here. :(

	BamaRainbow:	Feb 23rd, 2010 at 07:03 GMT		4 points
	@dan_f11: Well, it's actually a good thing it wasn't on here. You wouldn't have been right. (It's Cypress Hill--like the tree, not the Mediterranean Island nation.)

	I had a rough night and I hate the f***ing Eagles, man.

	beerslayer:	Feb 23rd, 2010 at 10:17 GMT		1 point
	Perhaps this quiz should accept "3 Dog Night" as an answer. That may not be how the band themselves spell their name, but it is probably what most people will type. I know I did.

	@detroitlou Get out of my cab!

	Buffett had an earlier greatest hits album, the title of which is "Songs You Know by Heart." That would likely have been a more difficult one to get.

	John Lennon also had a Greatest Hits album called Legend: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lennon-Legend-Very-Best-John/dp/B00000634J

	Huh? 50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong has turned into an Elvis album??? Don't worry I'm only joking. Kinda. The Fall's compilation has stolen the name from the Elvis one, and Elvis and his compilation are infinitely more well known. But that didn't stop me hopefully typing in 'The Fall'.

	I also tried Lennon for "Legend", but then remembered that Bob Marley had also done one by that name. I typed in Marley, and it didn't come up, so figured there must have been yet another band that used that title. I was mildly disgruntled to see if I'd added a "Bob" to my answer it would have been correct - since others were accepted by surname only I'd assumed it ought to work for all of them...

	Sorry... but Faith No More has a greatest hits album? Shouldn't it be a "Greatest Hit" album titled "Epic"? Great quiz!

	midlifecrisis:	Feb 23rd, 2010 at 13:15 GMT		10 points
	When I saw Mothership I automatically thought of Jefferson Starship based on the name, and Boston based on their album covers.

	@bamarainbow: oh ****. my bad.

	This quiz shouldn't bother me, no, it shouldn't, but, BUT IT DOES!

	thamesx2:	Feb 23rd, 2010 at 14:45 GMT		-1 points
	Maybe accept "3 Dog Night"

	Jerry_Garcia:	Feb 23rd, 2010 at 14:54 GMT		5 points
	@midlife - I thought the same as well as Parliament.

	gwynn1984:	Feb 23rd, 2010 at 15:00 GMT		10 points
	For Mothership, I tried every combination of Parliament imaginable (Parliament, Funkadelic, P-Funk, George Clinton, P-Funk All-Stars, etc.).

	I thought that most of these were pretty easy, with big hints right in the clues... of course, since I am over 50, most of these "albums" were right in my wheelhouse

	Reder:	Feb 23rd, 2010 at 15:17 GMT		5 points
	MrChewypoo - Faith No More actually had pretty good success with a number of songs. We Care A Lot, Midlife Crisis, Falling to Pieces, Easy, Epic, etc. Do yourself a favor and listen to the rest of their catalog. Amazing band.

	John Lennon's greatest hits cd was also called Legend. Well, it was called "Lennon Legend"

	zutluvip:	Feb 23rd, 2010 at 15:55 GMT		-2 points
	I don't hate the f*****g Eagles, but that title doesn't give much to go on if you don't know the album specifically. All the other titles on here have something distinctive.
