	Great quiz, can't wait for sequels. Good to see Men Without Hats getting some love. Safety Dance rules!

	Past history of Sporcle quizzes would indicate that having Nickelback as an example would not go over too well. Nevertheless, I found this quiz quite enjoyable though it also revealed my arrogance, as I was for some reason just positive that Men Without Hats was Scottish. Must've been the Safety Dance video.

	I knew what countries bands like AC/DC, Barenaked Ladies, etc were from and guessed the major cities. It paid off.

	i thought Men Without Hats were Australian but i must have confused them with Men At Work

	Lots of fun. Typed "Houston" for ZZ Top to save time, but I was secretly wondering whether "Arlen, Texas" would be accepted. :-)

	I went through nearly the whole Bundesliga for the Scorpions but didn't get the right answer. That had to be the only major German city I didn't guess. Oh well.

	Nickelback sucks.

	@Yojimbo: I did the exact same thing, but when I got to Hanover, I spelled it the German way with two n's.

	Brilliant quiz! Hope to see many more of these.

	@nut - I did the same thing! Though I realized my mistake before time ran out. Unfortunately, it didn't help, as I had no idea where Men without Hats were from.

	great quiz weizen! although i may have had a little to do with it ;)

	Combining a geography quiz with a music quiz? I like :) Now it's time to listen to that Seattle band...

	awesome quiz! Hope to see more like this it was fun

	Hmmmm.... where do The Jonas Brothers hail from?

	toocool:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 06:13 GMT	4 points
	@sneuticles Disneyland,more specifically Its a Small World Ride where they were forced to work like Stewie Griffin

	My approach to this quiz was one-quarter knowledge, one-quarter educated guesses, and one-big-honking-half lucky guesses. I clued in about halfway that guessing the city venues from Rock Band yielded some correct answers!

	Freddie:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 08:14 GMT	-2 points
	If Sporcle were a purely British site, Oasis would no doubt be right behind the Beatles in second place as you must have your head buried underground to not know where they hail from.

	Hanover, damn i knew the scorpions were german. Named all German cities.....except one. 16/20, not bat though imho

	@Freddie - I agree. I was surprised that under 50% of people knew where they were from. A good quiz overall and one that challenged without being impossible.

	Managed to get 12 right through a lot of inspired guesswork! Though I did kick myself over a few that I missed (tried New York and San Francisco for several options apart from the correct ones). Great idea for a quiz though!

	I read "Men at Work" instead of "Men Without Hats" and spent way too long guessing every Australian town I could think of.

	Smug middle-aged Canadians everywhere celebrate their knowledge of Men Without Hats, who previously had only been a source of embarassment.

	dav_uz:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 13:48 GMT	-3 points
	Got all except the two Canadian bands, the scorpions and ZZ Top. Must have tried about twenty german cities for Scorpions but missed Hanover! D'oh!

	@Musegal: Devon is not a city. I believe Muse are from the town of Teignmouth which has a population of about 15,000 and is not really likely to be remembered even by Muse fans.

	JohnJF:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 14:12 GMT	3 points
	@Jimmy: I would agree that some of the non-US ones are more significantly associated with their band (Beatles, Oasis), but how could you not even try playing the "Let's name big US cities for these bands" game.

	I went through every German and English cities I could think of for the Scorps and Def Leppard, respectively, but came up empty. And I've seen both bands live, so had to smack myself in the head when the answers were revealed. Also, Brooklyn should be accepted for the Beasties...

	Unidentifiedkiwi:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 14:54 GMT	4 points
	But Brooklyn isn't its own city. And I recall at least one Beastie Boys song where Ad-Rock says "I'm from Manhattan."

	punniker:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 15:13 GMT	-2 points
	I have also thought that ZZ top came out of ft. worth

	Smux:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 15:45 GMT	-2 points
	obviously this quizmaker isn't from jersey, or he would have included bon jovi

	bean:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 16:46 GMT	3 points
	Great selection of bands here, for once.

	jaymc:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 17:00 GMT	-4 points
	@Unidentifiedkiwi: You're right that Brooklyn isn't its own city. However "New York, New York, USA" usually means "Manhattan." "New York City" would be fine.

	Sparky:	Aug 25th, 2009 at 17:16 GMT	1 point
	Oh! How embarrassing. I didn't know Def Leppard came from Sheffield (my Uni city). Arctic Monkeys I would have got.
