You were actually paying attention to the 80s.

Tell me how you do on this eighties music quizzy thing, I wanna see if my ability to remember lyrics to the framgents of the songs I recognise outcompetes your actual familiarity with the period.

Other people tell me too if ya wanna, but teinedreugan go around round spin me right round a lot about 80s music for the sheer joy of the bickering rather a lot. ;)

Well, so what did you get?

(115.5, first pass with no brain-cudgeling, went back and fixed two typos after the first scoring. Not that I am, you know, competitive or anything.)

Thirtyish.

I didn't listen to 80s music before 1993 or so, which somewhat mucks with my odds. ;)

Yes, you'll probably only have heard the good ones. :)

82.5. I'm not terribly thrilled with the quiz, seeing as how some of those are incredibly easy and some aren't distinctive enough. Also, the author apparently listens to more hair bands than I.

Only 41, but I mispelled two (names) and there's at least one where I *know* I filled in the correct answer but it scored as blank.

I never paid much attention to pop music.

*sigh* I feel so inadquate. 52 for me. I *suck* at lyrics. I recognized probably about 80% of the songs, at least enough to get the tune going in my head, but not a chance at remembering most of the words.

33 ish, so i'm worse off than you, and I was in high school for the first few years of the decade. Of course, because I'm jusr barely pre-woodstock, it docled me 30% of my score! (I can get lyrics when I hear the melody, but reading them cold is a pain)

111, but I don't have lyric sheets for all of them and I persistantly remember a number of them wrong.

There are about 10 I'm kicking myself over though. ;) (OH, DUH! says the part of my brain that collects 80s music.)

[larksdream]

69.5 :-)

[ardaniel]

137. Kicked myself a couple times.

[rainfallsautumn.livejournal.com]

I got a 115. And kicked myself *several* times. I missed a Gabriel lyric? Ooooooy.

I now have this perverse need to hear Wham. :/

50.5. And close to a dozen more that I actually own but haven't listened to ages, so shouldn't have missed but did. I do NOT have meranthi's flypaper memory for this stuff
