	No Justin Bieber?

	Forgot that Carl Perkins did Blue Suede Shoes. Since Elvis was already there, I tried Cheap Trick, who did a cover back in the late '80s or early '90s. Also kept trying Aerosmith for Walk This Way before deciding to try Run DMC, who ironically put Aerosmith back on the map.

	"Walk This Way" is actually Aerosmith's work. The collaboration with RUN-DMC was years after the original. if you accepted both I think that'd be OK but to have RUN-DMC alone is wrong

	Accept Aerosmith for bonus answer for "Walk This Way."

	I think it's disrespectful not to accept Marty McFly for Johnny B. Goode, Berry stole it from Marty when he overheard the song while talking to his cousin Marvin.

	Parliament over Funkadelic? hmm..........

	BamaRainbow:	Sep 3rd, 2011 at 18:16 GMT		4 points
	To quote the immortal Charlie Brown, AAAUGH! I entered Aerosmith for "Walk This Way" and didn't pay attention to the actual answer. So, of course, when "Dream On" shows up on the quiz, I'm at a complete loss. Surely no artist would be listed twice--that would be silly. (Note to self: When taking a forced quiz that accepts alternate answers, check the answer that's actually listed.)

	Also, what does it say about me when I see "One" and the first song that comes to mind is the Metallica song of the same name and only get U2 after the quiz doesn't accept Metallica?

	BamaRainbow:	Sep 3rd, 2011 at 18:29 GMT		3 points
	For a minor historical note, there was NEVER any single credited to "Buddy Holly and the Crickets." The group's releases were on two subsidiaries of Decca Records--Brunswick and Coral. All releases through Brunswick were credited to the Crickets and all releases through Coral were credited solely to Buddy Holly. "That'll Be the Day" was released through Brunswick so it was credited to "The Crickets."

	No Billy Joel? But a one-song collaboration for RUN-DMNC and Aerosmith makes it? I guess I don't quite understand the rules.

	Fun quiz. I have almost all of these songs in my itunes.

	bumbles:	Sep 3rd, 2011 at 20:06 GMT		-2 points
	These lists invariably disappoint me due to the total unwillingness of most music critics to admit that anything worthwhile was written after 1980. Maybe 10% of this list was written in the last 30 years, despite the fact that (in my opinion at least) more brilliant music has been written in recent years than ever before. But most critics seem terrified of the response should they dare to opine that a modern band are in the same league as a Stones or a Beach Boys or a Who. Nothing against the quiz mind, which I enjoyed, just venting...
