I really like this idea, but artist names would really help. As it is, it's just throwing out random song titles and hoping something sticks, since many people probably aren't familiar with this particular list.

Agreed. Good concept, but most people couldn't guess any of these without a hint such as artist.
I like the color, but make the text in the answer column white instead of black. Then while on the Style page, set the first column to 10%, and split the Title & Artist columns 45% each. There's no reason Bill Haley & his Comets should wrap to 4 lines.

51/55. BTW, accept "Time of Your Life" for Green Day, as the song's actually called "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)."
