	Great Quiz, but I don't know if it is 'The Talking Heads', or just 'Talking Heads.' Anyway, some good bands.

	Apologies on Talking Heads, we swapped that one out, otherwise, the source is from various places including amazon.com, billboard.com, and wikipedia.

	Yeah, Talking Heads has no "The" in front, I know that for sure. I think The Sex Pistols does, though. Also, strange song choice for The Cars. I would've picked either Just What I Needed or My Best Friend's Girl, seeing as those are their most known/popular songs, but I still got it with the one you chose anyway.

	How is The Velvet Underground one of the least known bands? Anyway, some strange song choices, but fun quiz.

	Any quiz that includes The Mighty Mighty Bosstones is all right with me!

	Weird. When I went on the see the most missed page some of those higlighted in green weren't necessarily the ones i got and some of those not highlighted in green i had got. This happened to anyone else or just a techincal hitch?

	Fun quiz. "The The" would have been the perfect band to use.

	Ah, if the clue for the Kinks was "Lola" I'd have gotten it. Still did fairly decently though.

	How is "Pretenders" not an answer for "Don't Get Me Wrong"?!?!?!?

	UEAdam:	Feb 22nd, 2009 at 18:58 GMT	5 points
	"Don't Get Me Wrong" is by The Pretenders, not The Tokens. Other than that, a very nice quiz!

	hornplayer:	Feb 22nd, 2009 at 19:00 GMT	3 points
	good quiz. yet another music one that I can sing the lyrics but can't remember the name of the band. lol

	DRB:	Feb 22nd, 2009 at 19:01 GMT	2 points
	agree with those comments on Don't Get Me Wrong, definitely the Pretenders. I claim 24 rather than the 23 I've been given!

	DRB:	Feb 22nd, 2009 at 19:02 GMT	6 points
	@davidr : did you just want to write the word "bollocks" in a comment? ;-)

	MissInformed:	Feb 22nd, 2009 at 19:05 GMT	-4 points
	At the moment you have "The Tokens" as the answer for both "The Lions Sleeps Tonight" (sic) and "Don't Get Me Wrong", which is clearly by The Pretenders. I aborted the quiz when I got sick of typing the latter, and Google then confirmed that there wasn't another song of that name. Sort it out please! In other news, shame you didn't have "The The" in it after all, even as a bonus answer it would have been fun.

	@MovieDynamic: It's just "Eagles," not "THE Eagles".

	"The The" is what they used in the quiz description.

	MissInformed:	Feb 22nd, 2009 at 19:10 GMT	0 points
	@Jason: I know they did...hence the words "after all" in my post. I think it would have been more fun if they'd not mentioned them (well, him), and kept it for a bonus answer. I see "Pretenders" now works, anyway, even if there's still more than one lion. :-)

	Cool quiz. Though I wondered whether "Presidents of the USA" should be accepted for Presidents of the United States of America.

	Great Quiz! Glad to see the Killers made it!

	BenJJ:	Feb 22nd, 2009 at 19:37 GMT	0 points
	Brain in gear. Should've named The bands, rather than try to work out from the songs. That's my excuse for missing very very obvious classic bands. Oh dear.

	Bullet With Butterfly Wings has to be in the top 5 songs ever the Smashing Pumpkins are just flat out amazing.

	davidr:	Feb 22nd, 2009 at 19:43 GMT	1 point
	@TallKool1: Yes, `The Jackson 5'. And `The Verve Pipe' is a different band to `The Verve', if that's what you were worrying about.

	davidr:	Feb 22nd, 2009 at 19:45 GMT	3 points
	@motrain24: `The Smashing Pumpkins' have a `the' on at least some of their albums.

	ebg:	Feb 22nd, 2009 at 19:59 GMT	7 points
	Smashing Pumpkins changed to THE Smashing Pumpkins with Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

	@TallKool1: I'm looking at the complete discography of The Verve Pipe, all the way back to the original version of I've Suffered A Head Injury, and they are certainly "The" Verve Pipe. Sorry, I'm not truly obsessed, those guys are from my village. @onetheta: Since your comment came up, I checked the self-titled record, and they are "The" Velvet Underground there.

	There is also a song called 'Sweet Jane' by the Cowboy Junkies, so I kept trying that one...but I just googled it and evidently they don't officially have a 'The'. Oh well.

	Add me to the list of people typing in 'Cowboy Junkies' 15 times.
