Re: A challenging 80s music quiz!

Slipperboy -- good call on the Alphaville and INXS!

#6 -- Sledge isn't the band's name, but you're close!

#18 is wrong but someone got that one earlier -- Flock of Seagulls: "I Ran"

Re: A challenging 80s music quiz!

I printed a list to think about all day and its driving me nuts that I dont know all of them. I should know. I am one of the oldest brides here and during the release of MTV where most of these songs had lame videos, many of you guys weren't even born yet (1981)!!!

Re: A challenging 80s music quiz!

I've seen either this quiz, or one like it before...and it drives me nuts as well! The lines just keep going over and over, but I can't get the tune...I'll almost have it, but then I lose the trail.

Thanks! I must admit that I got the Depeche Mode song from my brother. Hope that wasn't considered cheating!

Of course you can play! Number 25 isn't "Physical" but the song does have a similar sound... try again!
