How Much Do You Know About 80s Music?

I thought I’d do better, but I only remember the last year of the 80s, so I guess 65% isn’t too bad.

Where were the U2 questions, though? Scandalous. ;)

    You did much better than I did. I love the Eighties, but I have a problem remembering musical details, especially when I haven’t picked up some of those bits of trivia. I was too young to learned much while all that was going on.

    CJ: I love a lot of 80s music too (U2, INXS, Cyndi Lauper), so I know some of the details… but some of the questions surprised me - I mean, I know Rock Me Amadeus, but I have no idea of the year. Just seemed a bit weird to have that and not one question on The Joshua Tree. But hey, it’s a fun quiz. And that’s all you can ask for, right? :)
