	The name of the Frankie Goes to Hollywood song from 1985 is Two Tribes, not Two Tries.

	missing a few video names frmo 2007 there...

	leviper:	Aug 29th, 2011 at 20:56 GMT		4 points
	It's Chumbawamba, not Chumbawumba.

	This quiz helped me pinpoint exactly when I stopped paying attention to pop music. Also, I can't believe Britney Spears was never a "best new artist" nominee. She was the first name that I typed.

	ilovelamp8388:	Aug 29th, 2011 at 22:38 GMT		2 points
	@jholls_00...the category was slightly changed in 2007...the artist wasn't recognized for a specific video, but simply as the artist themselves.

	rockgolf:	Aug 29th, 2011 at 23:07 GMT		3 points
	For consistency, I've added the likeliest songs to earn the 2007 nominees their nominations, as well as a few appropriate short forms. I've also removed as alternate answers established acts who were featured on new artist's video. To say Ludicris was a best new act nominee in 2010 is, well, ludicrous.

	The Tracy Bonham song is "Mother Mother".

	ilovelamp8388:	Aug 30th, 2011 at 00:25 GMT		4 points
	Is it bad that I have no recollection of making this quiz? Thanks for your help, rockgolf.

	rockgolf:	Aug 30th, 2011 at 00:49 GMT		3 points
	@Rwhip: Good catch! Fixed. @ilovelamp: Yeah, I've been there. Played a game thinking "who wrote this %#%$$?". Found out it was me.

	After '97 the nominated songs went drastically downhill.

	radiosilence:	Aug 30th, 2011 at 02:12 GMT		2 points
	@mrcugo, I'm with you. I nailed almost all but three up until 2000. I also would have given the 1990 award to the "Don't Want To Fall In Love" artist based on hairstyle alone.

	zalkon2004:	Aug 30th, 2011 at 06:36 GMT		8 points
	When I was younger I used to roll my eyes when I'd hear people criticizing "today's music". Then I took this quiz, saw how few I got over the last few years and wondered, "When did I get old?"

	A_J_S:	Aug 30th, 2011 at 19:56 GMT		6 points
	The fact that Avenged Sevenfold beat out Chris Brown and Rihanna is amazing and makes me smile, because I loooove them. But Rihanna is pretty great too. Stiff competition!

	Oddish:	Aug 30th, 2011 at 20:28 GMT		6 points
	How did I miss "Baby" when those are the only lyrics in the whole song??

	soulonfire:	Aug 31st, 2011 at 06:30 GMT		3 points
	Starting with 2004 I started only getting one or two right. I didn't get any for 2010 and 2011. Also notice how many acts vanished within a year or so of nomination.

	stpgnrvr:	Sep 1st, 2011 at 04:55 GMT		4 points
	how many of the winners have been or will be relevent????

	bizzlebiz13:	Sep 1st, 2011 at 18:19 GMT		2 points
	Man what happened to music? I saw a comercial on YouTube for the VMAs from the early 90s and the lineups were so good. Now we have artists that wear food for clothes.

	adamm:	Sep 3rd, 2011 at 01:46 GMT		-1 points
	Why when I type in "homophobic ****" does it not automatically fill in Tyler the Creator?

	tlsmoot:	Oct 14th, 2011 at 20:35 GMT		3 points
	If you don't know the correct spelling of the artist's name, you're screwed.

	segacs:	Oct 22nd, 2011 at 01:17 GMT		3 points
	Wow, music has sucked ever since 2000.
