	AWESOME!

	Very nice. This is my wheelhouse. Got every one the first time through.

	A little too easy. Also, please capitalize song titles properly.

	cysion:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 13:31 GMT	0 points
	Well yeah, didn't know what level I should aim for. I'll let the stats go for a while and see how the overall level is. You're free to make a harder version though :p Or maybe I will... (don't let that hold you back though)

	The times given on your list differed greatly from what it showed when I played the file, though that might just be me. Liked the clips, hope for a sequel.

	EXCELLENT ending to the quiz! Couldn't pick a better track. Incredibly easy quiz if you listen to any classic rock though, only one I missed was London Calling. Is it just me or were they not the original studio versions of Lola and Paranoid? Lola for sure was a different version. Also why not include the classic Louie Louie by The Kingsmen? Same song, but more recognizable sound

	absolutely great quiz, but like @salisa said, the times were off which made it a little confusing. i know these must be hard work, but it is definitely appreciated!

	cysion:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 20:21 GMT	-1 points
	Yeah, Lola is the live version. When they play Lola on the radio here, they always play that specific live version. Same for Paranoid here. And I got both songs of a CD from a radio station here :p And since the quiz is not that hard anyways, it shouldn't matter too much. I'm shocked that only 6% of the people recognized Child in Time from the outro though! @Salisa and gurl94: the times shouldn't be off, don't really know why it shows like that to you. I ran the file again, and it all seems right to me.

	Keep them coming.

	Is it really necessary to repeat songs from the other, much better song clip quiz? Or to use strange versions of "Louie Louie", "Paranoid", and "Lola"?

	Awesome, I'm so glad you enjoy making these song clip quizzes cysion, because you don't know how good it feels to hear someone elses song quiz besides my own, which I don't know all the answers to. Now that the Sporcle admins have gotten on board with sound clip idea (notice the new embed box on user-created quizzes), I really hope to see more people using this to create even more diverse quizzes.

	@all those complaining of me not using the genuine studio version on some of the songs. It's still that song, just performed before an orgasmic audience. Imho, that's still what makes rock-music, rock-music. And for Louie, louie. Iggy Pop is a rock-icon himself and by using his cover version I kinda hit 2 birds with one rock. Now just enjoy the music, or go try and make a compilation of your own ^_^ @Saulmeister: nice :D Finally over with the 404-errors for good :)

	Hey, a song clip quiz where I actually know most of the answers! Nice job. :)

	ianmez:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 03:11 GMT	6 points
	Well done! And shame on me for not recognizing London Calling. That's gonna haunt me all night.

	littlebigblue:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 18:24 GMT	2 points
	I found it much more difficult that the clips run into each other; i couldn't hear sometimes where one ended and the next began. I would change that, unless you did that on purpose to make it harder, in which case kudos.

	great music, great quiz!

	Hanging head in shame that I missed London Calling, the only four seconds of that song that aren't burned into my brain. Great selection of tracks too, I'm just lovin' these clip quizzes.

	I am so mad at myself for missing Louie Louie! This is like the first week in the past month that song hasn't been stuck in my head! I just learned it on the guitar too! It's also completely insane that I missed The Who, Jimi Hendrix, and The Kinks. Good thing I got London Calling though.

	I spend the first half of this quiz trying to guess the artists and wondering why they were all wrong. I need to read the directions from now on I guess

	Lola didn't even pop up for me.

	I know I'll get virtually beaten up for this, but (don't get me wrong - I love all these songs) the term "classic rock" is way overused these days. As mind-numbingly incredible as "Stairway to Heaven" is, it is not classic rock. In my opinion, classic rock existed solely between the years 1954 and 1960. "Johnny B. Goode," "Peggy Sue," the original "Louie Louie" - these are classic rock songs.

The times that you have written down don't match up with the actual clips.

	cysion:	Dec 24th, 2009 at 18:13 GMT	0 points
	The times fit 100%. There's just a problem when pausing/playing back. Times get messed up then. If you just let the file play, it should be correct. Maybe it's due to a slower internet connection too, but can't verify that.

	12/16, with the four I missed being in the top 7 most missed, isn't bad for someone who is far too young to have lived during this era.

	The times on the quiz didn't match up with the player.

	I would hardly call Thunderstruck classic rock. And AC/DC is one of my favorite bands.

	GlassMoon:	Aug 28th, 2011 at 00:34 GMT	2 points
	Yeah...you used Classic Rock broader than I ever would have. New Wave, punk, heavy metal...
