...This one was kinda confusing. I love it though! I also loved that Bright Eyes was thrown in. Thats the only one I got. I figured everything out after I read the answer. More Please!
I'm also working on ones for movies and books.
Good one! I see you like logic-grid teasers... you have a lot of them.
I LOVE LOGIC GRIDS!!!!! In fact, I've done all the logic grids on this site - and I WANT MORE!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAARGHHH!
cute!!!
Pretty good for someone my age. Most of these bands are current ones. I did get most of them because of the good clues. I like! Thankfully, I have grandchildren who talk about music all the time, so that did help. Keep them coming. please.
Very Good. some of the punctuation was a little confusing though.
Absolutely brilliant!
10 out of 10!

Great!!! I only got a couple though
Good one! I enjoyedc it
2 and 5 were the only groups I knew. Not a real music lover, but I do enjoy these teasers.
Only ever heard of one of the bands.Sorry.
I probably wouldve loved it if I had known any! I mean, really its trivia not language, or both I guess, but I just don't keep up with names of bands and music, so for the ones "in the know" I'm sure it was fun, for those out of the know, well, we'll just have to wait till tomarrow.
i did not get ne of them!!!
I think the fact that I didn't know some of the bands and songs made it a better teaser. The U2 question was very easy, but I never heard of Bright Eyes and still was able to get it. Good job.
I thought you did a great job with this one! I agree with shawneeo though...seems more like trivia to me. Also, on #4 I would have not used the word involuntary, b/c blinking can be both voluntary and involuntary. All in all, I really liked it!
I think this was a great teaser...I only saw one thing that should be corrected.
The Grateful Dead Sing Box of Rain, so Carton of Condensation should be changed to "Carton of Precipitation" Other wise it means more like FOG.

OUCH - This confirms it. I am out of touch with current popular music! I got U2, but still didn't know any of the tunes.
p.s. I agree that rain is precipitation, but that would have made it too easy.
I do see this as trivia, but also as language - because of the wordplay.

That was my favorite one ever!
I was a little confused by number 2 though.

I thought it was pretty good. I got the Green Day one and the band part of the Blink 182 one. I wasn't good at the other ones because I pretty much only listen to Christian music. Well whatever. It was good, though.
I love these kind of teasers! Great fun trying to figure them out. Only one I never heard of was "Bright Eyes."
This teaser was awesome! This is officially my favorite one. I got them all right except for the songs for The Grateful Dead and Bright Eyes. I loved the first one with Green Day, they're one of my favorite bands and I liked the description of "Blvd of Broken Dreams". MAKE MORE TEASERS LIKE THIS PLEASE!!!
I have 2 more, and am working on my 4th...Thanks a lot for all your comments!
I didn't like this teaser, I don't keep up with those bands i hadn't heard of half of them, I didn't like it.
too bad for you..
omg! i didnt no any of them....
What a waste
I liked it - got all the bands even tho I don't listen to some of them but struggled with the song titles.
YAY! I got most of it.....
One of the best in a while. Mucho fun. got 4/5, didn't know #3.
Great quiz - I only got bits and pieces of them, but it was fun, anyway. Thanks
never knew of the bands
I got all five artists (one was a guess) and only 1 1/2 songs.
Very well done! The bands were easy, but the songs added a much greater challenge. And thank you for choosing bands that are well-known enough to eb considered commong knowledge (as opposed to trivia, as suggested by others)
i only figured out the 1st 1!
The clue condensation is DEW not RAIN so you should change that to precipitation or shower. The Dead also did a song about "Dew" so it kinda makes a difference.
I know nothing about bands so I did not even try to solve it, but did pick up on some words like vertigo. What it went with was beyond me. Good for those that know their bands.
Loved it! I got them all, even though I never heard of Bright Eyes or their song, Poison. I guessed at that one.
