Much tougher than it looks.

[eek]

1. I did this about a month ago and got , like, 95 right

Which probably meant that was payng precious little time to anything *apart *n from music.

Funnily enough though, almost none of these references came from music i liked!

My own 80's quiz would read much differently.

Fun stuff. Thanks for posting it.

[lazarus]

2. it's too long!

argh, I've got ADD!

On the plus side, I skipped ahead and got all three bonus questions!

And NOBODY knows the answer to #86, it's one of life's great mysteries.

[Whitacre D_WI]

5. Uh... I got 86 right.

106 total points (I missed some easy ones, too).

[lazarus]

8. sorry, typo

Meant 83.

[Whitacre D_WI]

11. Oh. I knew that one, too.

And I HATE the effing Eagles. In fact, I consider "Hotel California" to be the worst song EVER, the worst album EVER, and by the worst band EVER.


Perhaps that's why I know it so well -- friends close, enemies closer?
:evilgrin:

[ldoolin]

16. worst ever

not the Eagles, IMHO.

Hints:
"We Built This *"
"Knee Deep in the *"
Sharshi*

[Screaming Lord Byron]

3. 87, not bad, not great, and I had help.

[Q3JR4]

4. Woo hoo

16 here. Yeah baby!

:bounce:

[matcom]

6. 92

and now my head hurts x(

*matcom .... knows a little TOO much about 80's music* :P

[Spirochete]

7. Almost made triple digits

Got a 99. But spelled a few words wrong - jesse, cooky - and it cost me points.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

9. 86.9 I missed a couple of the Billy Ocean ones.

[jimbo fett]

10. I'm the biggest 80s music trivia nerd. I love stuff like this.

[LuLu550]

12. I sucked!

I can only remember lyrics when I hear the music!
But I got bonus points for being OLD! :hippie:
on edit: The 1980s were by "Black Hole Period" as I refer to it. I was married to a complete jackass who hated rock and roll and only listened to Gordon Lightfoot....I hardly ever got a chance to listen to the radio....

[CivilRightsNow]

14. It did!

I didnt get any bonus points, damnit. You'd think Id have scored higher, being a child of the 80s and all.

I got an 83


Also, to the poster who said #83 was impossible. I got it right. I thought it was one of the more easy questions.

Number 86 was a stumper.

[populistmom]

13. 95.5- I am a total 80's geek apparently!

Or just perhaps a geek. :D

"

[ldoolin]

15. I am so embarassed

43.5%

Was the eighties *that* long ago?

Is this a case of "If you remember the 80s you weren't there??"

What an embarassment. Gonna have to brush up on my 80s music...

[Bertha Venation]

17. only about 33%, but a lot were blanks

of the ones I tried to answer, I got 23 of 27 correct.

I looked for a "contact me" link on the page -- too bad I didn't find one. I wanted to correct typos.

"wierd" = weird
"tragedys" = tragedies

[dolo amber]

18. Bollocks!

I got a paltry 72.2%!!

I must say in my defense I got more right that I thought I would once I had a look at the questions. I didn't realize that much 80s radio had stuck in my head... I'm a little distressed by some of the ones I remembered. (Thunderdome, for chrissake??)

I'ma go over hyah ---------> and pout now. x(

:P

[FDRrocks]

19. 36.5

:(

[kdmorris]

20. I feel somewhat happy with my 51.2

Although I guess that means I didn't pay ANY attention to the music while I was in high school!

:D

[short bus president]

21. 101, baby!

because I fawking rawk!

:P

[dolo amber]

22. whatEVER

I just noticed I got 30% deducted for being a *YUPPIE*...:wtf:

While you, Mr. Bus, got NO deductions. Thus making my REAL score 102.2. Go eat worms. :P

[short bus president]

23. The worms, my dear, are yours to gnosh.

Just like a yuppie to go changing the rules to suit you. You got the 30 point yuppie deduction, yuppie. There is no appealing this determination. Just like a yuppie to go trying to appeal things.

:P

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

24. Gaaaa. Not for non-English speakers.

31.25. Ouch. Ouch.
