  1. Absolutely horrible. Never heard of most of them. 8/20. Not sure how many US responses you’ll get. Thanksgiving is coming up on Thursday and many people travel or are otherwise engaged.

    • Yeah, I didn’t really think about how tough this one would be for the regulars. Stuff like LCD Soundsystem and Queens of the Stone Age feels like canon to me, but maybe not for posters who are a bit older.

    • I don’t really know my Fall Out Boy from my Taking Back Sunday, but I knew enough of the others to set myself up for some lucky guessing.
