	Definitely an interesting concept, but you need to provide more clues (like artist names) and more time.

	@prefab - agreed, when the quiz creator struggles to get 50 out of 200 himself its probably time to ease up a little! Third column has been revealed.

	briskt:	Apr 8th, 2011 at 18:47 GMT		3 points
	Nine Inch Nails' album is the Downward Spiral, not spril

	@briskt in the words of cletus the slack-jawed yokel: "duly noted"

	rockgolf:	Apr 8th, 2011 at 21:21 GMT		3 points
	Wow! Would going to 3 or 4 columns reduce the scroll factor? You'll gain some space by changing the first column from "Ranking" to "Rank" or even "#". One minor fix: #66 should be credited to Carole King.

	There's just not enough time to type them all. I was typing almost constantly, and I barely got to 130 before the time was almost up.

	The Johnny Cash album is more usually just "At Folsom Prison".

	thanks for the feedback, a more user-friendly number of columns has been implemented in order to reduce scrolling.

	barnztormre:	Apr 10th, 2011 at 01:34 GMT		2 points
	The least guessed answer? "Rock Bottom". Love the irony!

	ianburt:	Apr 10th, 2011 at 17:20 GMT		5 points
	you should accept village green preservation society for the kinks are bla bla

	dollymix:	Apr 11th, 2011 at 22:16 GMT		3 points
	Great quiz. Agreed about accepting "Village Green Preservation Society," since that's what the album is generally known is. It's an interesting list on the whole - I don't know what the methodology is exactly but it's a nice mix of obvious, non-obvious and recent picks (although too much overhyped-by-the-British-press stuff, e.g. Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Amy Winehouse).

	Not enough time given.

	maaxwell:	Apr 18th, 2011 at 12:07 GMT		2 points
	Think it's been said above, but accept "At Folsom Prison" and "At Fillmore East", that's what they're called.

	BJack:	Aug 6th, 2011 at 15:41 GMT		2 points
	VU shouldn't be accepted for VU&N.
