Very good quiz. Can i suggest that in the instructions you indicate when the list was published? It would help in knowing how modern to make your guesses. Also - its Mellencamp.

great quiz - forgot the Grateful Dead and Talking Heads though!

Also, Weezer doesn't work when I type it, but it's on the list

Consistency and flexibility would be helpful. I got credit for Tom Petty (without “the heartbreakers”) but didn’t get Joan Jett because I didn’t note the band name. A few needed “the” to count. There were at least 5 I should have gotten credit for. Overall, I love a “list” quiz that requires me to wrack my brain!
