Thanks! There's a whole bunch, from the present day to (at the moment) 1999, so I hope you've been enjoying them all. It's fun getting to make them and see what songs have stood the test of time and which have been forgotten over the years.

It turns out that the lead singer of the least guessed band has since carved out a very successful career for himself as a record producer.

Really surprised All-Star was never #1, that song was everywhere. Good quiz.

All Star was number 1 on some charts, like Pop Songs and Adult Pop Songs, but on the Alternative chart it just couldn't beat out My Own Worst Enemy. (On the Hot 100, at its peak at #4, it was beat out by Genie in a Bottle, Bills Bills Bills, and K-Ci's Tell Me It's Real. How very 1999.)

Offspring is "Original Prankster" not "Pretty Fly for a White Guy", idk which one was on the top 5 but your answer and clip dont match.

That clip is from Pretty Fly. Listen to the Pretty Fly track at about 50 seconds in, you'll hear the clip I've used at 3:30. Original Prankster did chart in the top 5 in year 2000 though, so that song is present on the 2000 quiz: http://www.sporcle.com/games/TimMierz/alternative-2000-clips

I LOVE this quizzes, but man...alternative music took a real turn for the worse right around 99.

Anyone else have the problem with these youtube quizzes where it won't let you type into the answer field? It seems to get stuck controlling the youtube window instead. The only way I've been able to return to the quiz is pausing and unpausing. Very annoying!

Trivial, the problem happens when the browser's focus is on the YouTube video. Any letters entered will be sent to the video instead of the Sporcle answer box. The easiest way to fix it is to click on the answer box before typing your answer. It's annoying when you want to play/pause and type, but after a few quizzes you get used to it.

They don't make alt-rock like this anymore. Fantastic quiz. Now off to play the whole series!

@TimMierz: that used to work, but lately even when I click in the answer box it won't let me type. Like I said, the only way I can get the focus back on Sporcle is to pause the game and then unpause. Really weird.
