Can't think of any specific songs right now...  Check Notoroge's topic in the "off topic" section for some..

The most important thing about a game like this is to do some ''error checking''.  Make sure that the user doesn't have to write the exact song or artist in the exact case.  So if the answer is led zepplin the if I put LeD ZEPplIN it should still count.  Things like that.  Check out the tutorials section for "String Manipulation" if you need help with that.

Couple of things:

That colour on that background does not stand out very well.  If you're going to be completely text-based, at least add some friendly formatting to how the text is laid out.


setscreen("nobuttonbar;position:middle;middle;")


Again, if you're going for completely text-based proggies, error trapping creates a bit more of a professional appeal.  It's no good when the proggie crashes on Ctrl+Z.

Get some Linkin Park in there.  Also, you should add something cool goin on in the background that goes with the, so it's not so dull.
