[PuckishOne]

I got 105.5, and that includes a couple I didn't get points for because of typos (doh!). So, is that good? It doesn't have a ranking system. All I know is, I'm old! :rolleyes:

[XCashier]

Your generation stuck mine with a motherload of cultural horrors (bradys! disco! plaid! roller skating!). -30% for being a yuppie.
5 point bonus for telling me where you saw this. Thanks!

Final Score: 84.45


Um, okay. It said name the earliest event I was born before and I picked Woodstock (happened in 1969, I was born in 1968), so I'm blamed for the Disco Era?! Sheesh!

Me neither. Seems as if I was stuck in either a 60's or 70's time warp during the 80's.

Had that been a quiz on Motown, I probably would have aced it.

My score: 19:cry:

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I got a 77.5. WHich makes me a pop junkie. :D

[CrazedClerk]

60.5 though I would've had higher if I didn't mistype a couple.

I was born in 1981 so it's expected I'd miss a few.

Got the Ghostbusters one though :)

[PuckishOne]

Holy carp, I'm the high score!! :lol:

*makes 'L for loser' sign on her forehead* :wave:

[toolbert]

A lot of the songs I knew, just not the lyrics that went with them. I got like a 40 ; ;. show's what being born in 1980 does to a person...give me a 90s music test and I should prevail. Also, did NIN come around 89? I could of sworn they showed up in the early 90s (like 91 or 90)

[Phoenix79]

Holy carp, I'm the high score!!

Never fear, Puck! I'm a huge 80's nerd. I think I missed one or two of the questions . . . but I was born in 1979!!

THE 80'S ARE MY LIFE! I did scarily well on the 80's music test. <<end results>>

Phoenix - checking her pocket protector for ink stains . . .

Original release date was January 1, 1989

;)

Phoenix - adjusting her glasses, and checking her pocket protector again . . .

[Spiffy McMoron]

I got a score of 23.5. Pitiful.

:(

[Banrion]

70.5 here, not bad considering that I wasn't even born until 1982, and lost a few points to stupid stuff like microwave oven instead of oven's and I can't spell Billy Jean(I think thats still wrong)

[XCashier]

and I can't spell Billy Jean(I think thats still wrong)

Don't feel bad, Rick Springfield obviously couldn't spell "Jesse" correctly, either. (The song is "Jessie's Girl", which is using the FEMININE spelling of the name for a guy!)

The 80s are my life.

Indeed.

[Caveat Emptor]

68

I could not get "microwave ovens" and that song was sooo popular when I was 12 :( I did, somehow, recall "whisper on my pillow." Strange.
