The question asks for *the* best-selling band, not *a* best-selling band. I guessed Kansas, too, but Alabama has sold more records.

Also 'Texas' should be included. Granted they have only sold half what Alabam has, but they've not been around as long. Plus, they're Scottish, not Country, have a kick-ass lead singer and I've heard of them.

How is it I've heard of Texas, who have sold half as many records as Alabama, whom I've never heard of?

I actually got it only as a joke, because I know the Neil Young song Alabama. I also typed in Massachusetts before remembering that that's not a band, it's a BeeGees song.

Could you accept just "honor" for medal of honor? Most Jetpunk quizzes don't require a phrase given in a clue and, though I probably should have, I didn't think to type it.

Yeah, I just wrote AAVE, since that's the acronym I was taught in university. Couldn't think of ebonics.

Please accept AAVE and African American Vernacular English for ebonics. It's considered an outdated term and most linguists use AAVE.

I just put Honor for the Medal of Honor and then tried other medals thinking that was wrong.

And National Parks may be the first time where the plural was required. I'd gotten into the habit on not typing the s here to move quickly through a quiz... and had to go back and try a couple of times before realizing I just needed to add an S.

Dang. I only ever heard to them referred to as the "Winklevoss twins," so I had no idea what the plural was.

I also like the juxtaposition of "most polite city in America" right next to "show created by Trey and Matt."

The Winklevoss plural is from the movie The Social Network. It was a joke from the movie's dialogue.
