	@ MovieDynamic - by my count there are 3 rappers in the quiz. Out of 26. That's not most.

	Good quiz but pretty tough. Could've tossed in a few easy ones like Diana Ross and the Supremes or Martha and the Vandellas.

	Good to see some Joe Strummer love.

	@Several of you: There was a first quiz. If you're gonna complain about an omission, complain about one that isn't on either quiz.

	I love any quiz with The Stooges as an answer!

	Were Murph and the Magic Tones a real band, or were they just in the Blues Brothers? Don't you go changin'.

	That was fun to see Electric Mayhem, Bennie & The Jets and Murph & The Magic Tones. Good to throw a little fiction in with the facts.

	Magicbadger, regarding Echo, there's no Hootie either. It's just a name. Just like Derek & The Dominoes.

	Not sure if it accepts the answer or not since I said Double Trouble, but SRV also had Triple Threat as a backing band for a while. I think it was the same 2 guys as Double Trouble, but with another guy too.

	organicearthmama:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 12:48 GMT	6 points
	I thought that "hootie and the blowfish" was the name of the band. not the front and back. I'm pretty sure he's gotten mad at times when people refer to him as "hootie".

	As long as we're on great movie bands, let's not forget Otis Day and the Knights. "It's Otis! He loves us!"

	I can't believe I missed Crazy Horse! I tried Buffalo Springfield, and even Crosby, Stills and Nash. ;-) Also, Derek and the Dominoes fits this quiz. Their original name was Eric and the Dominoes, but the MC accidentally called him Derek and the name stuck.

	Darnit. I tried "white trash all stars" for one of the answers. I'll give you three guesses as to which one, and the first two don't count. Turns out, I almost backed into another answer.

	I only got Morris Day and the Time from watching Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

	Great idea for a quiz...maybe there are enough out there for a #3?

	JohnTheRev:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 14:35 GMT	3 points
	No Cap'n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters?

	Josh:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 14:44 GMT	2 points
	Loved the inclusion of some fictional bands.

	Kicking222:	Jul 21st, 2009 at 14:52 GMT	-4 points
	@John: YES! If there's ever a third, and if I make it (I'm not sure I would- I had a little trouble coming up with enough for this one), I'm including that one even if you and me are the only people who get it. One of my favorite movies ever.
