I love the inclusion of a variety of styles and bands, and not the typical arrangement of Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, 50 Cent etc... well done!

Thanks I'm glad you like it! I tried to do a variety of genres and decades so there's something for everyone. I'll be impressed if anyone gets 100%.

Very nicely done, a really enjoyable quiz. It was a nice mix of instantly recognizable ones, at slightly more challenging artists. Kudos to including artists like Kraftwerk and Joy Division, which I don't think I've seen on any quiz. Although, I'd consider changing the picture for Joy Division, as it's very hard to see any faces, it really looks like anybody from that angle.

Yeah, the Bon Jovi pic was small; all I could see was hair. I tried Van Halen, Whitesnake, Huey Lewis & the News .... But I really like the eclectic mix. More quizzes should include Depeche Mode along side of Sly & the Family Stone. Nice quiz!

Only missed Shaggy in the end, which I'm rather amazed by, as I was sure I'd get less than half. Great quiz, excellent mix of genres.

I'd like a bigger picture, but then people would complain that it's too big I guess. Fun quiz, though!

A credit to the game that there have been 626 plays so far and no one has got them all right! I got eight, four of which are bunched at the top of "most guessed" and four at the bottom - not sure what this means!

leeroy: No it isn't. Joy Division had Ian Curtis who died (and is in the picture), and New order were formed after his death.

Nice to see this quiz get published. I never get tired of seeing the likes of Kraftwerk and Joy Division on a quiz. Looking forward to many sequels.

A lot of these are either too small or very obscure. Shaggy? Depeche Mode? Huh?!

Technically, Neko was an additional artist, not a member of the band...

Not recognizing Depeche Mode is totally understandable, but never having heard of them? I'd say this game's biggest asset is its obscurity--everyone is going to recognize The Beatles or Hendrix but not everybody is going to immediately recognize Velvet Underground or The Killers, even if they know their music.

Dude, Shaggy's had at least three huge hits, and Depeche Mode had a bunch, one fairly recently. I'd agree with the percentages regarding "obscurity". I only know of one Orbital song (the theme from The Saint).

I didn't even recognize Bon Jovi. I kept thinking it was Jefferson Starship, or Starship. Doesn't the second one from the right look like Grace Slick?

I love that the Velvet Underground is sandwiched between Run DMC and LL Cool J.

@juviejay it was the 80s all the dudes had hair like that. Good idea for a quiz, but really hard. Some of the pictures aren't very clear, I like the Killers but that picture is pretty small

Yes, great idea for a quiz. But you can't even make out anybody's face in the photo of VU. And WTF with the silhouette photo of Orbital, a band no one's ever heard of, but it doesn't matter because the photo is just two shadows anyway.

Love the variety. Missing some just means you learned something. Isn't that what Sporcle is about? Being a teenager in Manchester when Joy Division formed made them one of the easiest to spot for me. Doesn't mean I'm smarter than anyone else.
