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

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.

@jholls_00...the category was slightly changed in 2007...the artist wasn't recognized for a specific video, but simply as the artist themselves.

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.

@Rwhip: Good catch! Fixed.
@ilovelamp: Yeah, I've been there. Played a game thinking "who wrote this %#%$$?". Found out it was me.

@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.

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?"

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!

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.

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.

Why when I type in "homophobic ****" does it not automatically fill in Tyler the Creator?

If you don't know the correct spelling of the artist's name, you're screwed.
