	Christina Aguilera misspelled. Fun quiz.

	Really tough quiz...I got one and am in the 35th percentile haha.

	list_smith:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 05:21 GMT		3 points
	Too bad Adam Green's Jessica Simspson song doesn't include her last name in the title because it would have made a good answer.

	Mariah Carey had a hit called "Eagles"?

	CharlieBrown:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 06:10 GMT		4 points
	This would of been a nice opportunity to use Bo Diddley.

	Magnadoodle:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 07:59 GMT		3 points
	Did anyone else in the UK see the song "It's My Life" and type "Dr. Alban" before realising that's not a very likely name for a song...

	Tapestry:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 10:03 GMT		1 point
	Sammy Davis Jr had the hit, in fact I think that was his only gold record, Candyman.

	rockgolf:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 11:08 GMT		4 points
	@Tapestry: Sammy's only #1 was titled "The Candy Man". Christina's hit, while not as big, was much more recent and exactly a match to the artist name.

	@Magnadoodle: Me. Also entered Bon Jovi and even Jon Bon Jovi.

	Wow. What a mindbender, managed to eke out 13. Excellent idea for a quiz.

	Squinta:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 12:27 GMT		3 points
	This was a REALLY tough quiz - I got way less than half, and still managed to make the 97th percentile. It's like Organic Chemistry in college - a 45 is an A.

	Great quiz idea, but difficult - I got 20 correct. I kept trying to answer Eagles for Best of My Love until I realized it was the Emotions version. Only suggestion is to clarify the title and instructions, because it took me a couple minutes just to understand what I was trying to answer. Also, you could use a more well known song to describe Heart.

	Never thought I'd see a Sporcle puzzle with, not one, but TWO Herb Alpert clues! LOL

	@EyeCanFly: Can you be specific or are you just trolling for negative votes?

	tm4:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 16:07 GMT		4 points
	Chad Brock ___ Owner of a Lonely Heart

	midlifecrisis:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 16:21 GMT		0 points
	EyeCanFly's comment was tossed! Which is good, considering I really enjoyed this quiz and it took a lot of work to put it together.

	dadlak:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 16:38 GMT		1 point
	Wow...tough quiz. Never figured that 12 right would put me above 90%. Should have gotten a couple others, but I didn't see the alphabetic pattern til I saw the answers.

	LilMaria:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 16:38 GMT		2 points
	Very hard, but very clever

	livfred:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 16:51 GMT		1 point
	I almost didn't try the artist who sang "Live Like You Were Dying" because I couldn't imagine that his name would be a song title. Live and learn. Nice quiz.

	Fun!

	TheTightEnd:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 17:53 GMT		2 points
	that was hard!

	mendelevium:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 17:57 GMT		5 points
	quiz was so hard that even Kyrgyzstan didn't register as an answer.

	BiloxiSean:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 18:43 GMT		0 points
	Good Quiz, but the 2 of the answers were pushing it due to the proper names of the groups. The Miracles were Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, and Dawn was known as Tony Orlando and Dawn. But those are 2 minor points to a fun and challenging quiz.

	rockgolf:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 19:24 GMT		8 points
	@BiloxiSean: Sorry, gotta disagree. While you are correct that at some point during their careers The Miracles and Dawn were credited with the lead singer as part of the name, I intentionally selected songs before that period for those artists. "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" (1962) was credited only to The Miracles, and "Knock Three Times" (1971) only to Dawn.

	Who else didn't realize it was in alphabetical order before time ran out?

	ivyagogo:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 20:37 GMT		1 point
	I managed to get into the 99% percentile without figuring out it was in alphabetical order. That was fun.

	rockgolf:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 20:59 GMT		1 point
	I had indicated the answers were in alphabetical order in the game notes, but now **I'M SHOUTING IT IN ALL CAPS***. Hopefully, more people will notice. Thx.
