	Wooh on the bonus

	Kicking222:	May 26th, 2009 at 16:43 GMT	0 points
	I like this quiz- very interesting topic. I don't remember seeing the name "BobbyD629" before- is this your first quiz? If so, congrats (and if not, I simply didn't pay close enough attention before). Anyway, I knew thirteen, got two from their titles (i.e. "Year of the Horse"), and guessed three more... I'll take 18.

	MissBones:	May 26th, 2009 at 16:53 GMT	3 points
	Yeah, great idea for a quiz. Thanks BobbyD629.

	Why doesn't "Young" work for "Neil Young"?

	MickeyM2:	May 26th, 2009 at 17:05 GMT	3 points
	Great quiz, just proves I need to brush up on my music between 1998 and 2006!!

	SpicAndSpan:	May 26th, 2009 at 17:14 GMT	0 points
	I know Anvil isn't a platinum selling band, but "The Story of Anvil" is a great rockumentary.

	bigsoxfan:	May 26th, 2009 at 17:16 GMT	2 points
	Great bonus!

	Toryn:	May 26th, 2009 at 17:35 GMT	1 point
	I know about half (plus the bonus!) and then turned it into the "start naming groups" game and picked up a few more more that way.

	Scotto263:	May 26th, 2009 at 17:55 GMT	11 points
	@Mike - I think the problem with Anvil! The Story of Anvil is that it says the bands name twice in the title which would make it a real give away in Sporcle.

	How did less than 30% get Sign O The Times? It's the name of one of his biggest albums/songs!

	The Bonus was the first one I entered, was going to bail if it didnt come up! LOL

	RyanUR:	May 26th, 2009 at 18:31 GMT	4 points
	I would give almost anything to have been at the Last Waltz concert. The list of performers is amazing.

Comment below threshold: show it

	ElDavo:	May 26th, 2009 at 19:16 GMT	-4 points
	Dewey Cox wasn't a rockumentary. Adding that would mean you have to add The Wall, The Pick of Destiny, etc. Besides, quit suggesting stuff as bonuses. That's retarded.

	SlovakOne:	May 26th, 2009 at 19:17 GMT	-4 points
	what's the bonus?

	DonnyB:	May 26th, 2009 at 19:20 GMT	7 points
	Spinal Tap, naturally.

	debbiedoesnothin:	May 26th, 2009 at 19:50 GMT	1 point
	@Scotto - The funny thing is, I've never heard of Anvil so I probably wouldn't have gotten it. Fun quiz.

	chrispaz:	May 26th, 2009 at 20:54 GMT	5 points
	Fantastic quiz, well done. I Am Trying To Break Your Heart was excellent, but hard to watch at times. Seeing such a creative musical partnership unravel like that was awful. Also, i'm not suggesting other answers, but did anyone see the Joe Strummer doc, The Future Is Unwritten? Beautiful.

	TheImpalerTMX:	May 26th, 2009 at 21:12 GMT	8 points
	@Iceman: Walk the Line is a biopic about an artist, not a rockumentry @Daser: Again, it is not a rockumentry - it is simply a movie based on an album.

	treblat:	May 26th, 2009 at 21:27 GMT	13 points
	Despite the name, "Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns)" is not a porno.

	Jack:	May 26th, 2009 at 21:35 GMT	1 point
	Don't know much about this genre, just guessed popular bands from different time periods.

	mattrd08:	May 26th, 2009 at 21:57 GMT	5 points
	LOVE the bonus! Also, The Wall wasn't a Rockumentary, it was a rock opera.

	RodBeck:	May 26th, 2009 at 21:59 GMT	-3 points
	I got 21, but is it me or should The Police be acceptable along with Sting?

	Ben26:	May 26th, 2009 at 22:05 GMT	2 points
	GREAT idea. oh, and the bonus answer ftw!

	expat:	May 26th, 2009 at 22:07 GMT	0 points
	I must be getting really old got almost all on the first column and practically none in the second. Why weren't the Commitments at least a bonus answer?

	Sparky:	May 26th, 2009 at 23:54 GMT	1 point
	Heh, I looked at this and thought "I can only think of two" - I thought you meant fake bands for some reason. So Spinal Tap and the other which I think should also be a bonus- Hard Core Logo, the eponymous film of this band is Canada's answer to This Is Spinal Tap. I could guess some though, knowing that it was actually real bands lol!

	DanW:	May 27th, 2009 at 03:06 GMT	0 points
	Audioslave's "Live in Cuba" would be a good answer on this quiz. They were the first American band to perform in Cuba, and the concert was free!

	Dave42:	May 27th, 2009 at 05:11 GMT	1 point
	I'm like mark, got most of the first column, and I didn't know most of the second column but I managed to guess a bunch. I was happy to get 17 by guessing the big bands of the last two decades. Damn time is flying.

	YankeesJets2310:	May 27th, 2009 at 06:32 GMT	-2 points
	While I agree that The Wall is a film, not a documentary, Live at Pompeii should have made the list. When it comes to any list on music, Pink Floyd has to be included.

	speedbird007:	May 27th, 2009 at 10:06 GMT	0 points
	are you sure that "bring on the night" is a documentary about Sting and not The Police? And I agree with YankeeJets2310 - PULSE should have been on the list

	chrispaz:	May 27th, 2009 at 17:40 GMT	2 points
	Bring On The Night is the name of a song by The Police, but the documentary is about Sting and his jazz project. The Police broke up in 1984 and this documentary came out in 1985

	THIS IS SPINAL TAP!

	I was looking for The Rutles as a bonus. If you haven't seen "All You Need Is Cash" do yourselves a favor and look it up.

	JoeFish:	Jun 1st, 2009 at 05:35 GMT	3 points
	Glad to see the two johns made the list... did horribly but got that one ;-)

	Otacon:	Jun 1st, 2009 at 18:39 GMT	3 points
	I wish it would accept TMBG instead of having to write out They Might Be Giants. Otherwise great quiz, I only got half though, 13 counting the bonus.

	MovieDynamic:	Aug 15th, 2009 at 06:23 GMT	-1 points
	You should add "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" and "It Might Get Loud."
