	Nice quiz. Note: "Cant Scratch Fever" should be "Cat Scratch Fever"

	fuzzyhead123:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 20:16 GMT		1 point
	Oops about the spelling mistake. It took me so long to do i just wanted it to get on here. Please can we attempt this as much as possible, i think a quiz like this deserves to be a published and recognised quiz on here so do please try. Thank You to those who have already tried it and thank you very much for the rating you have given it :)

	Bangles is misspelled.

	Whooph! That's one massive quiz. Fascinating selection and range. But you'll need to do some clean up before I can recommend it. First, change the spacing. Change the "Year Released" to just "Year". Then set the spacing at Song - 60% / Best cover artist 30% / Year 10%. Finally, on the Style page, reduce the clues 8 point or even 7 point. I spend more time scrolling up & down the page than I did answering, and this should maximize the number of clues on the web page. You've got a number of spelling errors that take away from the game. Not so critical in the clues. Moreso in the answers. It's "Dan Fogelberg", not "Don". "Bangles", not "Bangels". Speaking of which, you need to allow last names as alternate answers. To do this put a slash between alternates. E.g.: "Eric Clapton / Clapton" (The space around the "/" is optional. I find it easier when I'm writing my own.) Also allow common abbreviations, such as "Creedence Clearwater Revival / CCR" or "Stone Temple Pilots / STP". Keep in mind it should be fun for the player and typing should as much as possible NOT be a hinderance. Finally, to get "AC/DC" to show up right enter it as "AC\|DC / ACDC". Sporcle will edit out the "/" on your answers, but not "\|" so you gotta have that in place. I know that's a lot, but it's a big quiz! I would spend this much time on the comment unless I thought it was good. Drop me an e-mail at rock.golf "at" rogers.com when you've made the fixes.

	Another add to the 'to-fix'-list: Soft CellCell should be Soft Cell, must be a typo?

	strawberrykiwi:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 15:59 GMT		1 point
	you have "pice of my heart" instead of "piece of my heart"

	stevierox2:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 16:17 GMT		2 points
	I agree - this quiz has great potential. You've got to fix the spelling errors, though. Also, the Carpenters version of Please Mr Postman deserves to be a correct answer.

	dylz:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 18:16 GMT		1 point
	It's Martha REEVES and the Vandellas. The Pearl Jam cover of "Last Kiss" was first released as a single and on a charity compilation in 1999, not 2003. Also, Prince didn't record or even perform "Nothing Compares 2 U" until after Sinead O'Connor did -- the original version was written by him but performed by one of his pet projects, the Family. These are really nitpicky so sorry, but I thought I'd mention them.

	Rifsun:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 19:34 GMT		1 point
	Surprised that The Locomotion is so unguessed. The cover hit #1, and it's not like the band that covered it is a one hit wonder.

	Thalia:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 21:46 GMT		1 point
	I'm going to agree with rockgolf about needing to accept more alternatives (for example, "Tina Turner" should work for Proud Mary). But there are some answers that work but shouldn't... I got "Great White" when I had just typed "White" when I was trying to type in White Stripes. I got "Bow Wow Wow" when I had written "Bow" when trying to answer "Bowie." Also, somehow I got "Johnny Cash" when I wrote "Earth" (when I was wrongly guessing Earth Wind and Fire for one question). What????

	mybeaglebelle:	Feb 14th, 2010 at 03:09 GMT		1 point
	I wish "Word Up!' by Cameo/KoRn was on here... although I know it's not your fault.

	lznyc212:	Feb 14th, 2010 at 17:41 GMT		2 points
	Another spelling correction: it should read Gladys Knight, not Night.

	WalkinDude:	Feb 15th, 2010 at 02:42 GMT		1 point
	you put a closing bracket before "Shinedown" when there shouldn't be one. that kind of bugged me since i knew it was the right answer and it wouldn't take it.

	famethrowa:	Feb 15th, 2010 at 03:37 GMT		1 point
	yeah i had the same problem as walkindude, also it's the Black Crowes not the Counting Crows that covered Hard to Handle.

	grouchoatty:	Feb 15th, 2010 at 15:21 GMT		1 point
	Everly Brothers is misspelled.

	I would like to thank everyone for attempting this quiz :) and i would like to further thank those for putting forward the incorrection in this quiz and for those who said this quiz had potential. I have nearly made 500 hits for this quiz and is currenlty my best quiz with 454 so thank you very much to those people :) Thalia i cannot explain the johnny cash incident sorry. I accept either "johnny cash" or "cash" for his so i have no idea why you type in earth and he comes up. I will try and figure that out and resolve it for you and future users. Grouchoatty, the spelling correction has been made. And bith walkindude and famethrowa, the answer has been changed, you 2 were right. I did do this quiz in the early hours of the morning and i was very tired when i was doing it but i just had to finish it :). Once again a massive thank you to those who are slowly making this quiz a great quiz :) hopfully it will be a sporcle recognised game soon :)

	gameboyguy13:	Feb 18th, 2010 at 03:25 GMT		2 points
	@Rifsun Whereas I was shocked that Kylie Minogue wasn't the answer for The Loco-Motion. :P Also, no Marvin Gaye for Heard it Through the Grapevine?

	vt13:	Feb 18th, 2010 at 03:49 GMT		-1 points
	no offense but this quiz is way too long, there were an enormous amount of songs that I either had never even heard of or knew they were covered and I scored in the 87 percentile so obviously other people don't know those songs either, at least half of these songs could be removed leaving only ones that people might have actually heard of. It is a good concept for a quiz, but I would have enjoyed it more if it was shorter and I actually knew more of the songs

	ginrummy:	Feb 18th, 2010 at 14:34 GMT		2 points
	'Cash' works for Hurt, but not Ghost Riders in the Sky. Note how much less frequently the latter is correctly identified. As noted above, all of the multiple word band names seem to be accepted if the second word is entered only, i.e. 'Stones' or 'White'. Heart (recording as the Lovemongers) recorded Battle of Evermore in 1992 (also appeared on the soundtrack to Singles). The 2003 version in the quiz is a live recording. I'd prefer to see you change it to the 1992 version, but sticking to the source material probably makes sense too.

	Discovering that John Mayer covered Kid A . . . . makes me want to vomit.

	ChungasRevenge:	Feb 19th, 2010 at 17:24 GMT		1 point
	Good quiz but there is a lot of no-mark acts featured who I've never heard of! :p However I must say that putting Metallica ahead of Thin Lizzy as the best band covering 'Whiskey In The Jar' is just plain wrong and we all know that lies make baby Jeebus cry. I hope you can sleep at night fuzzyhead123 :shakes fist:

	fuzzyhead123:	Feb 19th, 2010 at 21:00 GMT		2 points
	we all know that thin lizzy made a better cover of whiskey in the jar chungasrevenge. all the info above is not self opinion.

	This quiz has got past the 1,000 milestone. I would like to thank everyone who has attempted this colossal quiz :) Next milestone is the 2,000 hits :)

	nikko:	Apr 29th, 2010 at 21:55 GMT		1 point
	Can you except just Manfred Mann for blinded by the light, and ELO's cover of roll over beethoven was far far more superior. Metallicas Version of whiskey in the jar does rule over all covers - well done there.

	H0limkill:	May 8th, 2010 at 06:16 GMT		1 point
	I think this quizz needs at least one more song: I Love Rock N' Roll by The Arrows ( 1975 ) ==> I Love Rock N' Roll by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts ( 1981 )

	tjvhammer:	Sep 5th, 2010 at 15:01 GMT		1 point
	Only 3.3% got the Redemption Song answer - shame on you, it's up there with Johnny Cash's Hurt as one of the best covers of the decade

	how bout stone temple pilots cover of dancing days??

	jennilew:	Feb 20th, 2012 at 17:12 GMT		1 point
	i achieved a score of 110, but probably could have done better if the answers were MY version of the best cover versions...thin lizzy, kylie minogue, faces.
