	what about the Jimi Hendrix Experience

	johnlk:	Apr 13th, 2010 at 17:57 GMT		6 points
	Any list of the greatest rock bands which is designed in such a way so that it doesn't include the Clash is deeply flawed (so also is one where Pink Floyd and the Who rank ahead of the Stones, imo, but that's more personal taste).

	johnlk:	Apr 13th, 2010 at 17:58 GMT		4 points
	A list so constructed as to exclude the Clash is particularly dubious when it includes the Doobie Brothers and Guess Who.

	johnlk:	Apr 13th, 2010 at 17:59 GMT		0 points
	and Styx. and Foreigner.

	Also, how does Def Leppard get on here but not U2? I assumed there was some sort of time limit, but both released their first album in 1980.

	great quiz. as far as the band selections, i agree they are dubious at best, but not the fault of the one who made the quiz...

	cheeseofdoom:	Apr 13th, 2010 at 18:09 GMT		3 points
	I made the quiz, and I don't agree with it either :) At some point I plan on making one with BETTER bands!

	professor_beavis:	Apr 13th, 2010 at 18:24 GMT		4 points
	Good quiz. The list however is strange: whether you like U2 or not they are bigger than ... say Boston.

	cheeseofdoom:	Apr 13th, 2010 at 18:31 GMT		3 points
	I know, I agree. I found that list and as I was making it I thought it seemed a bit... strange. I mean, Everyone's heard of u2, far more than know boston?! Oh well...

	luke78:	Apr 13th, 2010 at 19:51 GMT		4 points
	i see no problem with boston at all...over a LOT of the bands present. but i do have to agree about the u2 thing. i had a tough time figuring out who could belong and who couldnt. i also agree with the clash. if you are gonna include the sex pistols, where is the clash? and i finally, i have to agree that the jimi hendrix experience should be there.

	Pocket:	Apr 13th, 2010 at 20:35 GMT		1 point
	its "AC/DC" not just the letters... at least accept the correct spelling

	cheeseofdoom:	Apr 13th, 2010 at 21:01 GMT		1 point
	Sorry, I keep trying but every time i put the in because it only lets you do it that way, it deletes itself again, even if I save it "/ ... I'll try again later.

	RockBandForever:	Apr 13th, 2010 at 21:20 GMT		2 points
	You have to put it as AC\|DC in the data.

	cantbuymelunch:	Apr 13th, 2010 at 22:39 GMT		1 point
	I'd argue with a lot of the 'essential albums'. Too many greatest hits. And seriously not Dark Side of the Moon? Other than that a good quiz.

	wainwjos418:	May 30th, 2010 at 14:50 GMT		-3 points
	any list with Journey on it should be burned. unless its "****tiest bands of all time"

	ETUB:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 17:18 GMT		0 points
	pink floyd isn't better than 3-6, and while i like boston it definitely should not be that high, and same with a lot of other bands. and no ramones or jimi hendrix?

	aekimel:	Aug 29th, 2010 at 15:31 GMT		1 point
	The Byrds do not have an apostrophe in the name of their band. AC/DC should be entered into Sporcle as AC\|DC to have it show properly. Fun quiz - odd list.

	Queen #31? Goodbye

	maaxwell:	Mar 10th, 2011 at 11:28 GMT		1 point
	Godawful list. Won't even get into the ridiculous decisions made on which bands to include. Essential albums are badly chosen too, and they certainly shouldn't rely on Greatest Hits collections for many of them. Unfortunately the quiz is as poorly made as the list

	ThomGroentje:	Apr 8th, 2011 at 17:18 GMT		4 points
	Maybe Nirvana and REM should be on here, considering they are bigger than, for example, Grand Funk Railroad

	sdc1030:	May 27th, 2011 at 23:07 GMT		3 points
	Foreigner is on here, but not the Beach Boys or U2?!?!?!?!?

	nrg222:	Jun 3rd, 2011 at 14:47 GMT		2 points
	Horrible list, not one grunge band, no clash or ramones, no NIN ar RATM, no metallica, it sucks

	SexPanther96:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 07:50 GMT		4 points
	While I agree with most on here, the lack of the Band is bothering me.

	SexPanther96:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 07:51 GMT		1 point
	Let me rephrase, I agree with most on here, but do not like the majority of them.

	cgrapes429:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 11:27 GMT		1 point
	@cheeseofdoom Although the list is pure rubbish, your quiz is well-made.

	amwoods13:	Oct 19th, 2011 at 00:30 GMT		2 points
	The big problem here is that you've titled the quiz "Can you name the Greatest Rock Bands of All Time" but your source is listing top 50 classic rock bands. Those are two different things. You should change the name of your quiz. Also, the name of the band is The Byrds with no apostrophe (and the apostrophe comes after the s in the essential album).

	GUNS! N! RO-SES! GUNS! N! RO-SES! GUNS! N! RO-SES! GUNS! N! RO-SES!

	I'm sorry but this is not a good list. The beach boys were perhaps the most influential American rock band and they are not even on here. And No jimi? But the moody blues are top ten? Wtf
