	I don't think 12 minutes is near long enough. You have 15 minutes for shorter quizzes than this one.

	Tchaikovsky08:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 09:31 GMT	2 points
	Great quiz. For a second I was confused when it said "this list only includes musicians;" that makes it seem like solo musicians, and not bands. Also, I agree with Chris, this needs to be at least 15 minutes

	Jesse:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 09:50 GMT	4 points
	don't you think "elvis" should suffice?

	mokos:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 09:53 GMT	4 points
	please please please lots more time

	Jesse:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 09:57 GMT	0 points
	why isn't woody guthrie on here?

	Chumley:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 10:20 GMT	11 points
	Since there are two Elvises (or is the plural Elvi) on the list I don't "Elvis" should suffice

	Jaspers:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 10:51 GMT	9 points
	I agree that this quiz needs more time. Also, Grandmaster Flash should be sufficient for Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.

	chillicothe20:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 11:13 GMT	3 points
	I put "domino" and "fats domino" but neither took.

	HollywoodLeo:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 11:17 GMT	10 points
	couple complaints. AC/DC should be accepted, I typed in "Tom Petty" but I guess it needed "and the heartbreakers", also CCR should be accepted for Creedence Clearwater Revival.

	Antithesys:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 11:55 GMT	5 points
	Jesse: Woody Guthrie was inducted as an "early pioneer" artist, a side group of performers whose work largely predated rock and roll but nonetheless had a defining influence on the genre. Other pioneer inductees include Louie Armstrong, Bill Monroe and Pete Seeger. It might be worthwhile to include them in this quiz but frankly there's enough to guess already.

	C_W_Browne:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 12:17 GMT	7 points
	Hard quiz. what is with the weird thing in between AC/DC (AC~DC). its always written as a slash. A little stupid if you ask me.

	westley:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 15:25 GMT	7 points
	Great quiz! Entering either "Parliament" or "Funkadelic" separately should count, I think. I did both and didn't think of combining them.

	Booger:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 15:52 GMT	6 points
	Great quiz! I've been requesting this a long time. Well done!

	Bretzky:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 16:58 GMT	4 points
	And neither "diddley" nor "bo diddley" was accepted either.

Comment below threshold: show it

	chodanutz:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 17:52 GMT	4 points
	Great quiz!!! I am very disappointed in myself though. I missed a lot that i should have known. but i always end up freezing on quizzes like this

	HollywoodLeo:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 19:31 GMT	3 points
	Glad to see it now accepts "Tom Petty" without having to add the name of the band. Still doesn't accept "AC/DC", which is the way the name is generally written, though.

	magister:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 19:40 GMT	2 points
	@chumley: I believe elvis is a third declension noun, making the plural Elves. Plus, I hate to be the dissenting commenter, but I would prefer that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers remain. The band was inducted, not just Petty. Likewise, Parliament and Funkadelic were two separate groups that merged together to form Parliament Funkadelic, and therefore only the merger should be included. Otherwise, great quiz. I'm utterly ashamed at my performance. Oh well, this means I won't have to go back to the Popes for a while.

	HollywoodLeo:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 20:06 GMT	4 points
	@magister, it accepts "hendrix" for the Jimi Hendrix Experience and "Costello" for Elvis Costello and the Attractions, why should Petty require the entire band name? I typed in "Tom Petty" knowing full well that "the Heartbreakers" was part of the name, but figuring that should have been enough like it was with Hendrix and Costello, I had just assumed Petty wasn't in the R&R HOF and moved on. (I was guessing with him)

	Ben:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 20:18 GMT	2 points
	I dont see Spencer Davis on the HOF website... Johnnie Johnson was a sideman, and Staples Singers are in the list...

	WVU 97:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 20:19 GMT	3 points
	Sorry, I mixed up Traffic with SDG, but Johnnie was inducted as a side man for Chuck Berry in 2001 and the Staples Singers were inducted in 1999 (check out their respective Wiki pages) and I remember watching the inductions.

	Ben:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 20:31 GMT	3 points
	Sidemen are not included in the quiz... also the Staples Singers are in the quiz (The Staple Singers)

	kthejoker:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 20:31 GMT	3 points
	Also, typing "Morrison" should get you Van Morrison.

	radiosilence:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 21:05 GMT	3 points
	Considering Little Richard always boasts he invented rock and roll, I feel silly for missing him.

	magister:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 21:16 GMT	2 points
	@Leo: What we have here is the age-old Sporcle debate as to what should count. You make a good point about Hendrix and Costello, but my response would be that I would prefer to see Jimi Hendrix Experience and Elvis Costello and the Attractions as the only accepted answers. I fully understand how pedantic that is.

	magister:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 21:27 GMT	3 points
	My point is, there are a number of times that artists have made it on here as both solo artists and in their bands. To which I will say poor Richard Starkey (in order to avoid spoilers.) Shouldn't we hold out hope that Petty will be inducted separately?

	sammyhain2364:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 21:46 GMT	4 points
	CCR should be accepted for Creedence Clearwater Revival as should Martha Reeves for Martha and the Vandellas. I agree with those who already mentioned that this quiz needs to be longer

	ElDavo:	Nov 7th, 2008 at 22:15 GMT	1 point
	Good quiz, but I don't accept that people actually got every one without cheating.

	magister:	Nov 8th, 2008 at 01:34 GMT	2 points
	@Brandon: I agree. I'm sure Tragically Hop was incredibly influential and should be included in the Hal uv Faem. That being said, I'm sure Neil Young, The Band, and Leonard Cohen would be unhappy about your omissions. Besides, Canada has its own Music Hall of Fame, which certainly doesn't have any bands from the U.S. Anyways, none of this really matters, since Canada still owes us for Snow.

	radiosilence:	Nov 8th, 2008 at 02:49 GMT	3 points
	Just so everyone knows, an artist or band can not be considered for the hall until 25 years have passed since their debut record.

	mike:	Nov 8th, 2008 at 03:01 GMT	3 points
	Was very suprised by the lack of deep purple :(

	magister:	Nov 8th, 2008 at 03:47 GMT	1 point
	@mike: I agree, but look at the last five years or so. There's a lot of those artists that could have been inducted years before. You just have to hope that it will happen.

	drhaase:	Nov 8th, 2008 at 06:26 GMT	2 points
	to Brandon...all those bands are not worthy except for Rush. the rock hall is a joke, but not that much of a joke. plus the two greatest contributions that Canada has made to rock and roll (The Band and Neil Young) are in the rock hall

	Kevin:	Nov 9th, 2008 at 07:53 GMT	-1 points
	Uhh... Bryan Adams, much? I'm pretty sure he's eligible, and he's contributed plenty to rock. Anti-Canadian bias! Not that such bias is unwarranted, or even discouraged. :)

	Tim Smith:	Nov 9th, 2008 at 16:27 GMT	2 points
	Don't understand how they can have the likes of 'The Pretenders, 'Talking Heads' and 'Blondie' but no Deep Purple, Rush or Kansas.

	magister:	Nov 9th, 2008 at 21:30 GMT	1 point
	@Tim Smith: Are you really prepared to downplay the importance on a global scale of those bands? I understand your dismay at the bands that you've listed, and as I've said before, their day may come. But really, you'd take those three bands off?

	Zach Harris:	Nov 10th, 2008 at 05:48 GMT	1 point
	Can I please put in a request for a "Metallica albums" quiz?

	Mike Trainor:	Nov 10th, 2008 at 12:35 GMT	3 points
	Excellent quiz. I think it's only a matter of time before Dexy's Midnight Runners get in. Travesty.
