	God willing, may this be the first and last time the Counting Crows are put on a list between The Who and Led Zepplin.

	kevin:	Sep 15th, 2008 at 06:39 GMT	6 points
	It's Zeppelin not "zepplin."

	why are maroon 5 in the list...seems an odd choice amongst all these greats!

	The COunting Crows are one of my favourite bands too, but I agree, Duritz doesn't belong on this list and Levine DEFINITELY doesn't belong on this list. I'm surprised that Hetfield was left off as well as Roth/Hagar.

	I think some of you guys are being a bit critical here - it's a list of bands and was never billed as the "best bands ever". I think it's good to have some not-so-obvious ones to test the old grey matter a bit more than "who's the lead singer of the Stones", which, let's face it, everyone knows.

	People shut up, this game is about naming lead singers of famous bands. Not making up a list of 'best bands ever' and surely not 'best lead singers ever'. And as far as I know, all these bands can be considered famous. Nice game! =)

	I really think Benjamin Orr should be an option for the Cars. He was the lead vocal on many of their songs.

	radio silence is right, Ben Orr sang on about half the Cars songs including some of their biggest hits like "Just What I Needed", "Moving in Stereo", "Let's Go", and "Drive".

	I realize the purpose of this list wasn't to name the best lead singers (there's no real way to qualify such a list), it just seemed odd to see some of those names among some of those other names. I wasn't criticizing the list, just making a statement. I actually enjoyed the quiz.

	i don't have a problem with the quiz. some ideas for more: eagles, journey, beatles

	I'm so glad Dire Straits is on this list! There're one of my favorite bands. Mark Knopfler doesn't get nearly enough credit for what a great guitarist he is.

	"i don't have a problem with the quiz. some ideas for more: eagles, journey, beatles" As great as the Beatles are, they don't belong on this quiz. There is no clear "lead singer." Lennon and McCartney took most of the songs, but everyone sang.

	@Mechafox: To piggyback on your comment, although Henley sang a lot, the Eagles had multiple singers as well, no?

	Vernon Gonsalves:	Nov 20th, 2008 at 21:45 GMT	-1 points
	@ Chumley - Agreed. But I think we can also agree that most people think of Ric Ocasek as the frontman and lead singer because when you're that scary-looking, you'd better be able to sing! @ Douglas - It's a matter of opinion. I like Maroon 5 and I think they could be among the greats given time. Chastising them after two albums is the same as thinking "Boy" is U2's pinnacle and "Bleach" was Nirvana's.

	@Vernon: Well, I'm a casual fan of Maroon 5 as well, but I wouldn't go that far...

	ed martin: If you're wondering, Freddie Mercury's birth name was Farrohk Bulsara. (Forgive my poor spelling..I don;t remember how to spell it..)

	Maybe it's just me, but I thought this was incredibly easy- I got them all in less than a minute. But I'm a big music guy, so perhaps it's not as simple as I thought it was?

	pbrown:	Jan 27th, 2009 at 14:56 GMT	-4 points
	beatles?

	toocool:	Feb 7th, 2009 at 11:39 GMT	1 point
	beatles,eagles,and journey yeah all 3 had 3 or more people sing with 2 having sung on the same albums so nice example NOT

	Kitnaz:	Feb 14th, 2009 at 16:17 GMT	1 point
	i like most of these bands but i only got GnR, Aerosmith, The Poliece, Def Leppard and Nirvana...

	Terrific game. I couldn't recover the Counting Crows guy from the satellite of my memory (though I could see his chubby, dreadlocked features as clear as day in my mind) - I kept thinking "Adam Moritz." I never heard of the Maroon 5 guy; though I am aware of the band's existence, that's about it for my familiarity with them.

	i always thought Mark Knopfler was the Blink182 guy.

	got 1 oh yeah could picture the singers didnt know the name

	I realize that at least American audiences didn't care too much, but Genesis' most recent lead singer was Ray Wilson, and that should be allowable as an alternate. The album was actually successful outside of the states.
