Nice one. Some of the type-ins seem to be missing, though. 1977 and 1978 didn’t work for Hotel California.

This is the first I've heard of Whoot. Hard to believe Whoomp's similarity is a "coincidence"...

The day before taking this quiz, I happened to watch a YouTube video entitled: "Most recognizable song each year of the past 100 years". I think that 8 of these songs showed up in that video. Except for them, I was pretty well skunked.

I've seen that video and it was definitely interesting (and helpful!) I found the second column quite difficult though.

Shouldn't 50 Cent and In da Club be the other way round?

Otherwise, nice trip down memory lane

Jumping on the train for people who got screwed by 1999 not working for Britney Spears.

Side note, shoutout to the brilliant idea to remove the feature meant to highlight comments about massive problems like these for Quizmaster.

We removed the box because for every serious bug reported, there was like 100 false alarms.

Instead, I just read every comment that is posted with a new quiz being submitted or updated. But it looks like the 1999 error wasn't noticed until after the "new" threshold expired.

I was 1 year out for every single one of them except Hotel California XD Also joining the "1999" train with Britney, it flagged up as a whammy but was within the '5 years' window
