Very enjoyable quiz. But I think it needs more time!

And please format it so that we don't have to squint at tiny boxes and guess "the," "of" and "and."

he blank boxes that don't seem to have any words for them are confusing at first. The way you did it with the one-word-at-time is really fun. I got several correct answers without actually guessing them.

Thanks for your comment.

You're certainly right about the blank boxes but for the first 6 columns I could put the '---' in an excel file and then import it, for the last one I'd have to do it by hand

it took me a million and three tries, but i got this in ten minutes. like between six months and a year of trying. it's doable but you have to have an order that you fill them in so you aren't repeating words over and over.

Good quiz, even if Rolling Stone seem a little biased on which decades they plump for.

Needs more time though as previously guessed words help with other songs so you need to run through several times. Maybe 20 minutes?
