Obligatory Sporcle link: this song hit #4 on the Alternative chart in 2000. See if you can name the rest! http://www.sporcle.com/game… (note - as of press time, this song is the least-guessed song on the quiz, right behind a song by Bush and a different Smashing Pumpkins song)
A year out of date now, but http://www.sporcle.com/game… has a clip from each Grammy-winning "Best New Artist". Fun fact: no artist in 1967 was good enough to merit them giving out an award!
While it's a shame that John never got to be an *actual* 70s game show/talk show host, I'm so glad that he's getting as close as possible! Love the format, the graphics, and of course that Hodgmanesque charm!
Pixel Tactics is one of the best duel games I've ever played. While it plays quickly, it's full of strategy, planning, and balancing cards' various powers. Each player has an identical deck but chooses a different leader that gives them an ability throughout the whole game, leading to finely balanced asymmetry. Plus,…

Well done as always. Surprised he pulled from "Prayer In C", which hasn't seen much US chart success despite its international prowess.
Godspeed You! Black Internet
Woah. Sheriff of Nottingham sounds pretty awesome.

The video's fantastic on its own, but the Swift track elevates it to a new plane of glorious.
Doing some minor research, that appears to be related to something on Disney's Doug, whose existence I try to deny.
I think Judy asks if Roger is Doug's "blue friend," and that also highlighted to me that woah, there are blue (and green and pink and purple and…) people.
In board gaming, we're having a friend and his wife over who are itching to play Galaxy Trucker after loving the recent official iPad version. It's my wife's favorite game and one of mine, so we're very excited to teach it! It'll be weird without playing with loads of expansion stuff though - after dozens of plays,…
I was also surprised that "Between the Lines" was STP's only #1, and that Weezer only got #1s in the 2000s, and that there was no No Doubt.
Yep, that's my quiz! Glad you liked it, and as far as I can tell I do spell Alanis' last name correctly (though I do accept various misspellings, because that's a tough one for me to get consistently right, especially right next to Morrissey).
Nope, just regular old me! No fancy screen name here. (Although my ratio of love for Billboard charts to love of pop music is unusually high.)
I used the top 50 songs of 1994 as determined by Billboard, seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…
Wow, that's a surprise to see! I was wondering why my quiz got a surge of plays all of a sudden! The quiz uses a clip of the title of each song, which is why songs like "Shoop" are barely audible. The songs chosen are Billboard's top 50 songs of 1994, so some may have been released in '93, but made a big chart…
The song of the year of '94. Check out #2 through #50: https://www.sporcle.com/gam…
