49.85

(with the five bonus points for saying where I saw this thing)

I was too around during the 80s. I guess I just didn't listen to the radio quite enough.

 

[BluRmGrl]

I got 117.... Yeah, I know - .

 

[lazarus]

91, although I had a typo spelling "raw" for Need You Tonight.

Worst decade of music EVER.

 

[Numb1075]

86.5

 

[phanan]

120

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

But I'll leave the smiley for the highest scorer.

 

[Bonochick]

[phanan]

82

But I'll leave the smiley for the highest scorer.

 

[VintagePunk]

107.5, even though I typoed on one answer, and had a bunch of dumb mistakes.

Not sure if I should be proud or ashamed.

81.5

 

[bonosloveslave]

85

 

[She Is Raging]

Final Score: 115

 

[BonosBaby12]

I scored 88 only because I made some mistakes. Scares me with how much I remember from the 80's

 

[Blue Room]

88.5, but she gave me negative 2 for my answer to the ACDC song because she said it was a PG sight. Depends on if its on the radio or a party IMO!

 

[drivemytrabant]

98--great time waster

 

[IWasBored]

You're a little young to remember all this. 10% bonus.

[Hewson]

78.4 after a 30% deduction for "Being a yuppie"

 

[Thora]

82. I went thru this really fast, and I'm sure I could have gotten a higher score if I paid more attention.

 

[Tiger Edge]

I'm so crap at lyrics.
Half the songs I missed I recognized immediately. Oh well.
83.5

Anyone else get Toto - Africa?

48. Grew up listening to all of these. Knew them instantly when I read them. If I heard the music, I think I would've done a lot better!
