good quiz. Surprisingly tough. Maybe you could accept "The Eagles" as well as "Eagles?" I'm not sure why it occurred to me to even try "Eagles" sans the "the," but for some reason I did. For many it won't.

Thanks! Will include 'the' eagles. Yeah, tougher than you'd think huh? Not many of these would are in my cd collection. And my cut-off for this quiz was Frank Sinatra. I aint havin' that SOB in my quizzes. :)

Your cut off should have been Elvis, then we wouldn't have had to accept that Madonna, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Mariah Bloody Carey and Phil Collins are far more popular than they have any right to be. I'm going for a lie down, you've depressed me.

you will notice most quizzes accept last names, so you don't have to type first and last name. you should think about that.

An oddly structured quiz. I typed Jackson and got no credit. I typed Michael and I got credit. This is not consistent with the majority of the quizzes on this site. Anyways, I got 17/20.
