Also, a slash is normally used to give alternative answers. In order to get AC/DC to work, you have to put "AC|DC", using a pipe instead of a slash.

I'm not the biggest fan of either band, but what a travesty that Queen and Pink Floyd aren't included...

One again, Rolling Stone magazine continues it's disrespect of Queen. First they started by ranking Bohemian Rhapsody the absurd number of #163 in the greatest songs of all time. Then they leave them out of this list. Queen has arguably the most recognized songs out of any band out there. Ask any person, even a non-music fan, and they could name at least 5 Queen songs. Freddie Mercury is possibly the greatest front man ever, and one of the greatest singers ever period. Brian May is also one the greatest guitarists of all time. Crying shame.

Queen never gets any of the respect they deserve, unfortunately. Think about it, every sports stadium in America regularly plays Queen. They're not as unpopular as Rolling Stone would have you believe. I was shocked that Pink FLoyd wasn't on there either

oh, and queen is extremely overrated anyway. even "bohemian rhapsody" doesn't excuse some of their other travesties.

The clues are a little odd in that some are ultra-specific and some are rather generic. As a result, it probably skews the results. For instance, Guns N Roses is easily recognizable given the clue of "Appetite for Destruction" but Aerosmith is simply "American hard rock band" which could be any number of acts (perhaps "Boston hard rock band"?). I'd suggest the city of origin and style of music and that's it.

The Sex Pistols weren't really all that prolific. I mean they only made one album. An influential album, I'll give you that, but prolific usually means that they did a lot...
