As you can see, a lot of people thought it was the Beatles. So a reminder is in order - if you got the correct answer off the bat, I will tell you so you don't guess in the final list. And the correct answer appears only once in the list, so if you see the same answer more than once, you can strike them off right away.
I missed a couple of our regular player's answers - are you guys not seeing when the thread is updated to show the Initial List? I change the title and everything....
BigBlue guessed 1.
Zhaneel guessed 2.
Apollo, sageridder, and TomB guessed 10.
