I would have done better if I could SPELL! I thought it was a nice touch for the coder to check for the wrong spelling and then say it was wrong and that I would not get a point - loved it.
Interesting how many of those I could hear but didn't get the right word - Guess I don't remember that period clearly :-) Got 64. |

| Bah! Lyrics were the stuff that filled the space between guitar solos. I'd probably score a big fat zero. ;) |

I hope there aren't any KISS lyrics in there.... as they were a 70's and 90's band (NOT 80's)

I scored a 73 - not too shabby!
I found myself sitting here singing these songs to get the lyrics.... I spelled 2 wrong (and even if the answer is right and spelled wrong - you don't get the point!) Also, there were some that were really dumb mistakes! I knew the song, the tune, and not the lyrics quite right. And I got 2 right that the guy claims hardly anyone ever gets #44 and #55.
There was a NIN song in there and I know it didn't come out in the 80's. Hmmmm.... it came out in 1989. I didn't know that.

I only got a 44...
I did well on the alternative and new wave songs...not so well on the pop...
I also had a few typos that threw me off and I had to rush because i am at work. |

| I took one quiz and I printed out a sticker that said I was a super 80's geek. |

| I got a 53.7. I kicked myself when I read the answers though. I missed some pretty obvious ones. |

But it came with a disclaimer, lol |

| I scored a magnificent 32, which is very good considering there was no worthwhile music written in the 80s! Well, maybe...."Baby's Got Her Bluejeans On" wasn't too bad. |

Actually, that was early 70's. It's on the Best of 1971-75 album.Thank god for disclaimers.
As for the KISS thing. The 1st time anyone saw them without their makeup was in September of 1983.

Whoot! 112.5
Correction... 92.5
According to my wife, even though it feels it, I was not born before the slinky.

I got this:
You're a little young to remember all this. 10% bonus.
5 point bonus for telling me where you saw this. Thanks!
Final Score: 124.9
I thought that #86 (California Girls) was done by the Beach Boys way before the 80s! I knw the lyrics, but not the decade, it seems. |

When was the slinky invented? (Wondering if I got that wrong, too.)
