	Most of these are instantly recognizable. The quiz might be more challenging if you were to provide the artist name and ask for the song title.

	That was my original plan for the quiz and I'm not entirely sure what prompted me to go in the other direction. It does seem a little easy, though. I think I will turn it around and we'll see what happens.

	Strange that "Jump" is on there, considering it's dominated by a whopping great synth riff. Good quiz tho.

	Strange that "Another One Bites The Dust" is on there, considering it's dominated by the great thumping bass and drum.

	Alstair:	Jun 3rd, 2012 at 19:24 GMT		1 point
	Indeed. As a matter of fact, most of the guitar parts in "Another One Bites the Dust" are actually played by John Deacon (Brian May is responsible for some effects, but that's about it).

	Not enough Stevie Ray! (and yes, I realize there are 5 songs already!)

	How AC/DC can be on here not once, but multiple times, and not have Thunderstruck is beyond me.

	MRL:	Jun 4th, 2012 at 04:23 GMT		3 points
	@nhrafan: "Thunderstruck" was released in 1990, so it's just a tad late.

	Oops, I just had a mental failure. I started taking the quiz and completely forgot it was 80s themed (many of these songs would make any list, let alone an 80s specific one). My bad.
