	Dammit, I typed "Talking Heads 77" because that's what's on the cover. Oh well. Fun but tough quiz.

	jharding:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 11:58 GMT	2 points
	Nice to see Brian Eno, Nick Cave, Television, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Nick Cave, and Wire on here. The quiz should accept "The Who Sings My Generation" and "My Generation" for the Who debut LP.

	Agreed, very nice to see the likes of Nick Lowe and the Smithereens. My only nitpick is that Iggy Pop's first album was actually The Idiot, with the original version of "China Girl"; Lust For Life came out later that year.

	All good comments. Will put some alternates in there on the tricky titles and will check my release dats on Iggy.

	sixsevenfiftysix:	Oct 14th, 2009 at 22:14 GMT	2 points
	What a fantastic quiz! Along with all of jharding's I'll add special thanks for including Phair, Portishead, Can, The Gun Club, Drake, Cohen, Joy Division, Air, Big Star, R.E.M., The Mothers of Invention, Cale, Public Enemy, and Waits. The only minor quibble I have [other than the fact that at least a few of these aren't classic or near-classic — Pablo Honey? :)] is that Songs of Leonard Cohen was released four days before 1968 began, so it should be a 1967 release.

	great quiz

	Yeah--Pablo Honey was probably subconsciously influenced by what happened later, although I don't think it misses the mark by much.

	Great quiz, and good variety too!

	AmeliaL:	Feb 23rd, 2010 at 23:05 GMT	2 points
	Excellent and fun quiz - some of the greatest albums of all time on here!

	Shayxin:	May 28th, 2010 at 06:36 GMT	0 points
	Great quiz. Pablo Honey, however, is Radiohead's only album that isn't classic.

	Slave2theGrind:	Jun 4th, 2010 at 03:24 GMT	2 points
	"T.N.T." was released in Australia only, and besides, AC/DC released an Australian pressing of "High Voltage" before that.

	dxman:	Jun 5th, 2010 at 04:55 GMT	2 points
	I guess Boston, Weezer, the Cars, Led Zeppelin, etc. would have been too easy...there were a couple I could have suggested, but otherwise good list.

	dollymix:	Jun 3rd, 2011 at 14:33 GMT	1 point
	Good range of artists - many I knew and many I should have known and kicked myself on. I don't think I've thought about Jason & The Scorchers in five years. Any way you could accept "Kill Them All" for Metallica, or is that too far off?
