	Rod this was just the year 1980.

	@RODWOOD71 The list is for 1980, not the 1980s.

	Pure Prairie League and Little River Band FTW! I miss those bands. Great quiz!

	@Tsunade: If ever, when you're writing a "joke", you feel the need to include the words "Oh and this is a joke", just delete the whole thing and start over.

	@SporcleAdmin: I gotta admit I'm a little confused about the timing and/or selection of this quiz so soon after the Awesome Hits of 1980 quiz. It's basically the same list. There are other equally good quizzes by the same creator on the same topic but different years. Any chance of substituting this one on the front page with http://www.sporcle.com/games/Alex951998/Top_100_Bands_1981

	I know that I'm not the only one who tried Lionel Richie multiple times for "All Night Long".

	Show of hands: How many people got M only because they were in the middle of typing something else?

	AhLeah:	Jan 19th, 2011 at 23:08 GMT		5 points
	I would have gotten so many more if it were "Sing the chorus of this song." :) I was 12 for most of 1980, didn't really care yet who was singing what.

	caramba:	Jan 20th, 2011 at 00:31 GMT		3 points
	@AhLeah: And yet, your SporcleName is a song from 1980 (which didn't get close to the top 100 of the year, unfortunately).

	jsftrey:	Jan 20th, 2011 at 02:32 GMT		3 points
	@barnztormre - you're right you weren't. I knew I was spelling it right too! Many of the songs, I knew the title but they were different songs - Shining Star - Earth Wind & Fire for example.

	Got lucky in hearing "Tired of Toein' The Line" randomly on the radio today, and them talking about the artist for some time. Good quiz.

	At the risk of getting voted way down, I'd like to offer the following: There was a quiz not long ago where we had to name the top songs of 2010. Most of the songs on the list were (in my opinion, as well as in the opinion of the majority of commenters) complete garbage. A few folks chimed in to defend the music of 2010 but I must confess that I was among the many who piled on with the criticism of what has been passing as "music" these days. Now I grew up in the 70s and 80s when a lot of FANTASTIC rock music came out. But looking at the list of songs on this 1980 quiz has me shaking my head. Sure there are quite a few excellent tunes included, but there are so many really awful songs too... Well it was just a real eye openner. I guess we look back on our favorite era and remember only the best stuff while trying hard to forget the worst.

	A tough quiz indeed and a lot of bad songs. It was fun to rack my brain for a few minutes though.

	@everyone who criticizes the 1980s/music today. We all remember the good stuff. That's how it goes. 20 years from now, we'll be hearing a song on an oldies station from this year, and forgetting the 4 crappy songs we had to listen to between good ones on the radio now. For example, in 1973, when Dark Side of The Moon came out, there were no Pink Floyd songs to reach number 1, but Sonny and Cher did it, as well as someone called "Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders" I might believe that music was better in the 1960s, but I only have the opportunity to hear the good stuff. For every Beatles, there were probably three (insert band name no one has heard of since 1970 here) and for every Mozart there was a couple (insert composers name no one has heard of since 1850 here). The "Good Old Days" are just the highlights, ignoring the mediocre or bad stuff

	@Mr_Pianoman: Actually, Wayne Fontana & the Mindbenders had their only #1 hit eight years earlier - "The Game of Love", and Sonny & Cher's only #1 "I Got You Babe" was also from 1965. That's not to defend the pop hits of 1973, which included "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree" by Dawn, and "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" by Vicki Lawrence. (And by the way, Pink Floyd not only didn't hit #1 that year on the singles chart, they never made the top ten.)

	There were some great tunes around in 1980,no Selector, The Specials, The Beat, Madness? In fact nothing remotely 2tone/ska at all, bad luck, you missed out there! It's just the same old show, on my radio, on my radio, on my radioooooooo....

	Note to self: Spinal Tap performed "Break Like The Wind", not "Ride Like The Wind."
