	I had a lot of trouble with this. But was very happy to see that, even if there are some bands I don't love up there, something like T-S O is able to stay up near the top

	I'm proud I got Hannah Montana. It's not like I listen to the garbage, but I don't see how being, by definition, ignorant about a subject should be a matter of pride, particularly on a trivia site. And yes, I know I'm taking this way too seriously.

	wow, I didn't know most of these artists were still touring. Especially The Police after their breakup. Didn't even know they reformed, unfortunately. : If I had known there were so many oldies on this, Madonna wouldn't have been one of the that i got >_> Also, glad to see it's more oldies than rappers (not hating on rap, it's just nice to see the classics keep on rolling)

	I made the mistake of naming current artists I hate, as opposed to older ones I love. Too bad!

	The only two I got were The Police because I saw them and Hannah Montana because I knew all of that Disney franchise had to pay off for them somewhere.

	Older bands do well touring because their fans are older and can afford expensive tickets to huge arenas. Anyway, very surprised to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra on here

	@IWANTMY2DOLLARS: why the hating? If people want to cheat, let them cheat. Maybe 1.8% read entertainment weekly every week and follow this sort of thing. maybe they guessed a lot. but it doesn't affect you in any way. so why the bugging out?

	This only goes to prove that old people and teeny boppers are the only ones who can afford to go to concerts nowadays. Great to see some of my favorites on there.

	SPICE GIRLS??????? 1) I didn't know they had reformed 2) I certainly didn't know they were on tour 3) even if I knew about 1 and 2, never would I have guessed they would crack the top ten grossing tours in 2008!

	looks like he can afford to live on more than a prayer

	you can be curious, but when you riddle your words with agression, and post it on a message board, it's open to comments.

	I missed The Police?.... I went to that show! SMH facepalm

	thegrimreaper:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 05:25 GMT	5 points
	wow...this quiz was a lot harder than i thought it was going to be...touche sporcle, touche.

	I feel that between Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen, New Jersey's economy is surviving.

	godzilla:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 05:33 GMT	3 points
	i did woefully on this one... that's ok though, 'cause Trans-Siberian Orchestra is there! WOOO!! i'm totally going to see them in November

	Nobody on this list compares to Springsteen live. Even at 60, the Boss still brings it night after night.

	Spice Girls?!?!??!?!

	I'm proud to say that I got Neil Diamond! And yet, I'm still shocked to see his name up there.

	@tannem coming from someone who has seen them both, I have to say Billy Joel was just as good, if not better, and TSO is up there as well. Of course, if you read my user name, you will realize I may be a little bit biased in the matter.

	SilverCup:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 14:35 GMT	1 point
	I'm actually surprised at these answers. Weren't the Stones on tour that year. How did they not make this list?

	Geez fatbeard mind your own business facepalm

	SPORKLER:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 15:21 GMT	2 points
	I saw TSO at christmas time and it was amazing...laser light show, insane musicians, and pretty creepy lookin' older guys with long hair playing guitar...it made for a heck of a show.

	LavaGirl:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 15:29 GMT	2 points
	@kyle, Kenny Chesney & Rascal Flatts are a country artist & group respectively.

	numbnick:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 15:51 GMT	1 point
	This is the first quiz where I got a zero. I guess I need to keep up to date with who is touring.

	vogz:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 17:15 GMT	3 points
	i typed jonas brothers right away to see if all faith in humanity was gone...luckily they weren't there...then i saw hannah montana was...

	kvoss9:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 17:23 GMT	0 points
	No Jesse and the Rippers? I would have bet my life that they would be a top 10 grossing tour...

	MrBlonde1990:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 17:58 GMT	-1 points
	How didn't coldplay get on this list? Viva La Vida and Death and all of His Friends was the number one worldwide selling album of 2008??

	MrBlonde1990:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 17:58 GMT	1 point
	Yea and the Stones? I was pretty sure they toured last year as well.

	DPA727:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 18:10 GMT	3 points
	Kyle it really is bad that you don't know who Kenny Chesney is. If this quiz was based on tickets sold rather than gross, Kenny would be #1..he sells the most tickets of any North American Artist these days. I went to see him last Saturday at Gillette Stadium....outrageous

	Figment:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 19:05 GMT	6 points
	I'm surprised that the American Idol tour doesn't make the list.

	schumigt:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 19:51 GMT	2 points
	Bon Jovi was on tour 2008? I only got Madonna. And where's AC/DC??
