Ramones tripped me up, I've always associated them with the British punk scene.

One of the best (probably the best) punk rockers from the states imo, exactly why I included them!

Yeah, based purely on what little I've heard from both, I was surprised to see they aren't British but The Kinks are.

Wonder which answers give the most fails - the Cranberries or Deftones maybe?

For me it was Nickelback. My brain seems to be unable to distinguish Nickelback from Radiohead.

According to the quiz stats, it's U2 and the Cranberries. So, the Irish (republic of Ireland) bands.

Was afraid bands like U2, Thin Lizzy and Cranberries were gonna be listed as British. Good to know there's people out there who know the difference between Ireland and UK.

Respect for that ;-)

Kudos, that was fun, the sudden death format is great....now I'm listening to youtube shuffles on bands I forgot about that I loved when I was a teenager......uh 55 years ago...a fun (albeit sexist) movie is 'Pirate Radio'

I grew up in the UK and got 6... of the ones I didn't get, I would only have got Coldplay. But unfortunately I clicked on U2 because apparently my knowledge of what constitutes the UK is a bit out of date.

Got them all but spent a minute trying to remember which one out of A-ha and Duran Duran was the Scandi band and which one British.

I got distracted half way through my first go and accidentally switched to clicking on bands that I like. Thankfully got them all on the second go through.
