	Chevy Chase as a bonus answer?

	ZapRowsdower:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 15:19 GMT		85 points
	Please show the answers that I missed! I'm not so good with rock music and sporcle is a great way to learn!

	caramba:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 15:50 GMT		14 points
	I liked it when the quiz title told you that you would get an extra point for guessing the album first, so I didn't make the mistake of guessing the artist first. I know it's in the instructions, but I found the old title intriguing ("2 points for album, 1 for artist", or something like that).

	TAR2:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 16:05 GMT		11 points
	oh shoot. I didn't realize that the album was worth more. Guess I should read the directions!

	Josh:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 16:13 GMT		1 point
	Why are there two different REM songs and only one for all the rest?

	frankthepieking:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 16:31 GMT		3 points
	Love the picture for this quiz, but it made me hope there'd be some Elliott Smith in here.

	WyattsTorch:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 16:41 GMT		3 points
	Hopefully Sporcle makes a change at some point, allowing instructions to be bolded. When you play enough of these quizzes, the instructions sort of become invisible. Great quiz though, @Buckeyebob! Hope you make a sequel.

	More people need to listen to My Aim is True.

	Paddlin:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 17:15 GMT		9 points
	To the 85% who didn't know Blood on the Tracks... go listen to that album TODAY.

	rockgolf:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 17:23 GMT		2 points
	@Josh: the quiz originally had the fairly obscure "Talk About the Passion" from the same album and I substituted the better-known Radio Free Europe. You must have caught it in mid-switch.

	JimAkin:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 17:37 GMT		-3 points
	Awww - I liked that the quiz used "Talk About the Passion". A few obscure songs help the mix. But if you're going to use a more recognizable R.E.M. tune, maybe you should swap in "Alison" for Elvis Costello.

	great format - i love this idea of using the points

	alameda:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 18:28 GMT		3 points
	the picture made me excited, I thought Elliott Smith would be in this quiz.

	Bobman1:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 18:59 GMT		4 points
	Like the quiz and format--did crappy but I suck at music quizes. Wouldn't mind learning from my mistakes (no ???, please) but stil liked it a ton. Thanks.

	Propellerhead:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 21:22 GMT		7 points
	I seriously enjoyed this quiz. I'm just now pulling my head out of the oven for not getting "Less Than Zero" -- for some reason I couldn't get rid of "Saved by Zero" in my mind. Sequels, please!

	Davidos:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 22:11 GMT		-1 points
	how did some people get 100% on this?

	JimmyJazz25B:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 23:07 GMT		4 points
	Marvin Gaye deserves better.

	duke00:	Oct 21st, 2011 at 23:57 GMT		0 points
	D'Angelo also has a song called Brown Sugar. Should be accepted.

	Jerdoggiedog:	Oct 22nd, 2011 at 01:38 GMT		1 point
	You should used more album title tracks :-)

	criswell8:	Oct 22nd, 2011 at 02:16 GMT		1 point
	For some reason, nearly all the ones I missed had "Blue" or "Blues" in the title.

	iceman1731:	Oct 22nd, 2011 at 02:27 GMT		11 points
	I was really hoping for the song "Bad Company"

Comment below threshold: show it

	basilutter:	Oct 22nd, 2011 at 05:24 GMT		1 point
	Howwwww is "Make Me Wanna Holler" so low? It may be the greatest song on what is a GREAT selection of songs.

	buckeyebob:	Oct 22nd, 2011 at 15:37 GMT		1 point
	My first plan was to use "Radio Free Europe" but I worried that people would complain that an earlier version had appeared as a single before it became an album track.

	buckeyebob:	Oct 22nd, 2011 at 15:38 GMT		1 point
	Propellerhead, there are two sequels. (One was better received than the other.) Click through on my name to find both.

	pete32782:	Oct 22nd, 2011 at 21:26 GMT		4 points
	Thanks for ignoring the 50+ point comment requesting that the right answers be shown...very helpful.

	buckeyebob:	Oct 22nd, 2011 at 23:23 GMT		2 points
	pete32782 -- First, because this quiz is published, the editing is no longer in my control. Second, because the quiz demanded that I check the "Bonus/Hidden answers become wrong answers" option, it is impossible to reveal wrong answers.

	HectorVortac:	Oct 23rd, 2011 at 15:13 GMT		1 point
	@basilutter - I'm with you. This is one of the greatest albums ever made, and at the time I took the quiz only 6% knew the name.
