another 80's quiz!
You grew up to this. No Bonus. No penalty.
5 point bonus for telling me where you saw this. Thanks!

Final Score: 88

I went thru this FAST, if I had spent any time on it at all, I am sure I would have had a 95 or so...

3. Thanks. I also have a very weird ability to remember song lyrics.
My husband teases me all the time because I can be singing along to a song the second or third time I hear it. If I could pay a songwriter to set all the important information I need to remember to good music, I would never forget ANYTHING.

4. I am that way too, but only if I hear the song...I can't just pull off
total recall, like this quiz. I need the music too.

when I was little I wanted to be on 'name that tune' if they had had a modern music version. you would have kicked my ass, but I would have held my own.

7. Me too. If there was an 80s alternative name that tune I would
kick ASS at that.

5. I'm proud to say I got a 44.8
Your generation stuck mine with a motherload of cultural horrors (bradys! disco! plaid! roller skating!). -30% for being a yuppie. (I'm NOT a yuppie - not even close).

I did, however, grow up in a generation that had decent music. ;)

Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 05:36 PM by fleabert
a cultural war between the 80's and 90's? OMG, we would so KILL you!

my brothers were infants in the 80's and we battle about this all the time...My generation kicks your generations ass. ;-) Okay, you can text faster than I can, but that's it!

10. 80's and 90's?
I don't even KNOW any music of the 90's though I'm flattered that anyone would think I was remotely young! LOL

No, I grew up in the late 60's, early 70's, the days of Jethro Tull and Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix.

And I wouldn't know how to text on my best day. ;)

11. LOL! I was totally going in the other direction! I agree with you, your
music kicks my generation's ass. totally. and I include disco in that, I think disco had a great influence on music, like the birth of 80's music and some of the punk rebellion

I bow before you. I was born in 73...

12. Oh, gosh, don't bow!
That always embarrasses me. Just strew rose petals at my feet... :blush:
