The name of #3 should have the word "to", not "from". An interesting quiz though.

@Squinta: More specifically, what are those computers? And what are they made of?

@hibernia: they looked more like crossbows to me, and the freaky makeup threw me off too.

I'm an idiot. I didn't look at the grid as I was playing and thus thought that the "Play" thing at the start wasn't a question. Derp.

Great quiz! Some were very difficult, yet some were guessable. It was the perfect level of difficulty.

I was going to say "ruh-roh, cue the infantile anti-Nickelback comments in 3...2...1...", but I see I was too late. Anyway, great quiz. #7 is particularly inspired. Couldn't #14 be the Pointer Sisters and #19 be Cat Power, though?

The Bee Gees, Dusty Springfield and Thin Lizzy were real groaners. Linkin Park was just bad. Like Squinta, I dont get the Fleetwood Mac one. Supertramp was cute.

REM has consistently denied that the band name stands for Rapid Eye Movement, for what it's worth.

Ok. Now that I've thought about Morningbell's comment and looked at the picture again, we can transfer Fleetwood Mac into the category of groaner. :/

Haha 17 and 20 were my favourites. Definitely agree with the 'groaner' bit though :)

Perhaps for #13 the nickel should be Canadian? Just a thought. Fun quiz though.

Someone tell me I'm not the only one who guessed "The Dillinger Escape Plan" for #17!

Green Day was too freaking easy that I got it wrong. lol I kept thinking things like Jefferson Airplane, Cowsills, etc. I thought Dusty Springfield was pure genius.

How about Twisted Sister for the nuns? Although I guess that would be Twisted Sisters... Anyway, they are giving me Catholic school flashbacks, and I'm not happy about it!

I also tried Dillinger Escape Plan :) Had never heard of Atomic Kitten, must be a British thing. Love the idea for the quiz, but like others have said, some were very groan-worthy and others barely made sense. Still quite fun overall.

There was confusion for number 17, as Dillinger was a bank robber, but I managed to get Simple Plan anyway :) I'm usually pretty slow on quizzes, but I can't be the only one who needed more time.

Simple Plan made me laugh. I tried "Radioactive Kitten." So close! I also tried Supertramp and was surprised that it actually worked.

Okay, Supertramp was great, but there wasn't NEARLY enough time in my opinion. Linkin Park...no. Way too out there.
