Today's Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss is another music quiz to promote the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame giveaway, where you could win a trip for two to the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies in Cleveland. The RIAA certifies an album as "diamond" when 10 million copies are sold in the US. 104 albums by 69 artists have been certified as diamond. Can you name those 69 artists in 5 minutes? I don't think so. I got 22 and I felt like kicking myself when I saw the answers! http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/23510
I'm shocked Elvis wasn't in there...and N'Sync was. You're right, I had to kick myself a lot.

I was shocked at Elvis myself...and no Johnny Cash? And *how* did Kid Rock get a diamond and not Eminem, or the Beastie Boys or Run DMC? There are others that I am surprised at...but, I guess it is what it is!
