Other scores have been withheld to protect the innocent (low was 68)

Here's the answer sheet noting the percentage corrects. And a single no-answer - I'm a bit surprised at that one. Any comments on ones you KNOW you should have gotten? Good list? Bad list? Too hard? Too easy?

[SwampThing]

These are the ones I feel really stupid missing. I own them all on CD and listened to them extensivley in the 80's...

[Jason²]

Actually The Vandals song IS called "Urban Struggle" - not "I Want To Be A Cowboy"

However, this quiz STILL ruled!

[Frau_Blucher]

Vandals, DOH! I've been wrong for 20 years?! [:(]

You're still the only right answer and finished with 186! AND you're still El Mas Macho. I thought that was a great song after Urban Cowboy came out.

Thanks to the participants. I thought we'd get mo

[Frau_Blucher]

I stand corrected...Iposse also got Urban Struggle!

[Blaster]

On "Dancing With Tears in My Eyes" , # 30
Wasn't that Ultravox, or did X do a song with the same title??

[Frau_Blucher]

Same titles, X and Ultravox...and I was trying to be a little subversive with Kiss The For Me [:o)] I'll contact you re Jackie O.

Cheers, Mike

[MikeP]

That was a blast ... muchas gracias 'myirwin'! Yeah, I'm kicking myself on the following (I know how you feel 'swampthing'!):

What We All Want - Gang Of Four - 11%
Little Girls - Oingo Boingo - 11%
Come Back Friday - Wide Boy Awake
It's a Mugs Ga

[SwampThing]

I was thinking 4 or 5 of us could create a "Name That Tune" file for MyIrwin. If we each did 20 songs we could test MyIrwin. Anyone interested?

[2Nu]

That was a masterfully vexing sample compilation.
BTW: I was trying to work my way through it, but with 2 kids under 3 y/o and a wife who would also like to have her web surfing time, FUGETTABOUDIT!

P.S. Why don't you plug that playlist into a Launchc

[bpdp3]

You have GOT to be kidding me!!!!

I'll forgive myself D-Day, Slow Children, The Europeans, Vandals, Wide Boy Awake and Soft Cell's "Mug's Game" - - I've just never had the pleasure.

The rest?? Every other #@#$% one of those sits in my record collect

[Frau_Blucher]

Yes, the goal is to be "eeveeel, as in the fru-its of the deveeel" (name that movie). I think the key definately is to have songs that people have heard but will drive themselves crazy trying to name it.

But moi, take the test? You would ask a director

[Dave]

All in all, I'm very satisfied with my score (95) since I'm pretty sure I've never heard most of the songs I missed. Back in the day, you were so dependant on local radio, friends' collections, and what you were willing to take a chance on in the record

[bpdp3]

I know what you mean on the Clash tune, Dave - - I spent so many hours sifting through Sandinista when it first came out...all to have it explode in my face on the New Wave Outpost message board...

[Otters Walk Among Us]

Well, I finished higher than I thought, so I'm pleased. I certainly don't know the punk and SoCal bands as well as I should, and I know more British acts than I reasonably should expect to.

Anyway, it's a great idea, perhaps when I've finished digit
