you type in the name of the band you want to be tested on, then when the song loads click on the right track.
well, i found it really fun.
it knows some pretty obscure bands as well

(yes i know this will be followed by all you pretentious gits saying "yeah, uh, well, like, it doesn't know monkeycheeseheadrapbonanza therefore both it and you suck")

the last one i played was ladytron and i got 10/10 with an average score of 4.6 seconds.
post your scores!

I know it must be me, but I can find nowhere to type in a band name nor any games which seem to relate to music.

when i click on that link, i get a game. and a space to type in a band name. the game is called "what's that song".
it has a yellow banner below the logo.
on the right of the banner you can type in a band name.

I got 10/10 for Paul Simon and I only had to think about one song ("Have a Good Time"). Maybe later I'll try something challenging when I have time.

8/10 for Sleepytime Gorilla Musuem and Clutch. I need to do something about that.

Got all the Horse the Band clips right, it also included clips from A Band Called Horse and I got most of those wrong.

9/10 for Rasputina

10/10 for Primus, Led Zep, and The Police

I just clicked and it loaded up this random artist, Ken Boothe, I got 7/10 for him. I would have gotten more, but some of the tracks didn't load because of licensing problems...so I had to guess.

Less Than Jake: 9/10

The Clash: 9/10

I dig them alot. I was contemplating buying "How I Quit The Forest" for 50 bucks, but I saw on their site that it would be reissued sometime this year so I think I will wait and pay a normal price.

Not yet but I'll check it out sometime. I found a live video on the net of them playing Barracuda though, it was pretty cool.
