    41 - After getting a 30 point penalty (!) for being a yuppie. :mad: And I rushed it - knew several of the the songs, but couldn't think of the words right away, so I went to the next one.

    I scored a lowly 14 and I grew up in the 80s. I guess that is what I get for listening only to classical and opera. :)

    I got 40, although I recalled only three of those songs. So, either I guessed very well or got some strange bonus points from something. :D

    Its just like them to put the most elicit song lines in there. I got like 3. Final score, 15.45.

    Thats what we get for listening to too much 60's and 70's and not enought 80's.

    55 here...damn that's one long quiz. I had to turn off Pigpen and Jerry rockin' Lovelight so i could concentrate.

    80's mainsteam music is something I try to block out. 60's and 70's music does the trick.

    18.5, I can't believe I got the Sweet Child one wrong (spelling mistake). I bloody hate the eighties, this score is due to excessive playing of Vice City, and (bad) luck.

    20. And I'm born in 1977. My excuse? I tend to ignore the lyrics. But I got the first Falco song (the one about "Der Kommissar") through translating. I wonder, was there really an english version?

    I got 53. I was a teen in the 80's so I the lyrics were kind of important to me at that time.
