I never do well on these Rolling Stones quizzes. Because I want to say Fleetwood Mac and the quiz wants The Drifters. I want to say Journey and the quiz wants Phil Spector. Oh well. I scored 50/100 and I guessed over a hundred names that weren't here. Thanks for the quiz.

They couldn't have made room for Billy Joel? Fleetwood Mac? Bee Gees?
