	Let me know if the time should be reduced.

	The time is great and the idea is fantastic. This is tomorrow's Editor pick!

	Swept the quiz

	Maybe it's just me, but the 1971 gave us a great crop of albums. (Who's Next, Sticky Figners, What's Going On, the album listed here...)

	Brute forced almost half of them, finished the quiz with just under a minute left. As long as you have a pretty good guess on the decade, you can knock them all out fairly easily. Might want to drop a minute.

	Got it with 4 seconds to go, so I think the timing is perfect.

	The Alanis Morrisette year is wrong. It was released in June of 1995, not in 1996.

	@Crimson E You're right. I changed it. It was the best-selling album of '96, though.

	I second what @Sachsen said, if you've got a decent idea of what decade the album was released, you can just hammer through them. And even though there were a couple where I had literally no idea, you could just start at 5-0, 5-1, etc, so I'd lop off a minute too.

	Nice game. Can you leave a reminder of the bookend dates (1959-2011) somewhere either in the heading or the game notes? Once I clicked on the game and started it, I couldn't remember the start year.
