	For the 1960s quiz, almost every track I selected was a top five hit. But by the 1970s, FM radio expanded the definition of what a hit record was. I've added several tracks on this quiz that weren't originally big on radio, but have gained status over the decades. I'm sure there's some major acts I've missed. Any suggestions? If it's a significant enough act (should get at least a few up-votes), I'll drop the lowest answered acts and add your replacements.

	I don't know if you're using "released" to mean released as a single or not, and how hard and fast that rule might be. If you are not, you might want to use a different Roberta Flack song, because The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face was also recorded by Gordon Lightfoot (and it's a good version too). Given, her version was easily the more popular version, and it might seem a little too nitpicky.

	Another winner! Wee little thing: Did you want to take the word "The" out of the "The Kinks" answer (like you did in the 60's game) - initially I just assumed some other band must have covered Lola also, until I got late in the game and noticed it.

	@Knoxvillain: Good point. Yes, I am familiar with Lightfoot's version. I've changed it to a song that will probably confuse some Fugees fans instead. @Needapause: Nope, that was a (sigh) kink.

	Shouldn't Band on the Run be credited to Wings or Paul McCartney & Wings?

	rockgolf:	Mar 30th, 2012 at 22:08 GMT		1 point
	@Amwoods13: Agreed. Originally the "&"s were causing some problem.

	"Black Magic Woman" was originally done by Fleetwood Mac - I know it wasn't in the 70s (1969) and wasn't a hit single, but it seems like it still might be worth changing to avoid confusion.

	@Dollymix: I forgot that! Ok, Santana track will change.

	"I Want You Back" is from 1969. So are "Thank You Falletinme Be Mice Elf Agin" and "Space Oddity".

	Gordon Lightfoot did a great version of "Me and Bobby McGee" in 1970.

	The 70s are too often ridiculed for terrible music due to the popular misconception that it was all disco. This quiz is proof that the decade had some amazing music.

	Great quiz, but am I the only one who got an incorrect response for saying ELO did "Don't Bring Me Down?"

	sharpdale:	Apr 9th, 2012 at 02:41 GMT		1 point
	You used my favorite band (Supertramp) and my favorite song (Baker Street). Gotta give it five stars on that alone.

	rockgolf:	Apr 9th, 2012 at 14:25 GMT		1 point
	@Listyguy: I Want You Back & Thank You were released in late 1969, but peaked in the charts in 1970. Space Oddity, while released earlier, didn't hit the US charts until 1973!

	rockgolf: Very fun quiz. I'm gonna head over to the 80s version.

	Great quiz. I made it a favorite to give it another shot. I would have liked it even more if you had split it into 2 quizzes of 50 to minimize scrolling.

You can virtually eliminate scrolling if you shrink the font size as described in the instructions. Use the Ctrl (or Command) and "-" key. The text is large enough that even shrunk 3 sizes, you can still read it.

	Technically, Derek and the Dominos released "It's Too Late" as well (though it is a completely different song). Though I should have gotten that it was Carole King.
