	I LOVE this quiz... of course, I'm a huge new wave fan, so I'm incredibly biased. I actually tried to make a quiz of this ilk a long time ago, and it didn't turn out right; this, on the other hand, is an excellent effort. Only quasi-related: "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" has perhaps the best video game soundtrack ever, and Wave 103 was a large part of that.

	Fun quiz--wish it were longer! Great bands!

	Yeah, I thought it was too short.......so I doubled it.

	A bit wrong as a concept though. Dexy's never used a synth in their lives, neither did Madness.

	I can't believe you dare not only to call Styx a pop band, but you also mixed them with such a bunch of losers.

	love the quiz even though not every band is categorized exactly right...maybe rename it...wish there were more 80's pop song quizes and such...well done

	I was going to tape my mouth shut to keep from arguing the definition of synth-pop, but the inclusion of Dexy's Midnight Runners forced me to say it anyway. There are only a few bands on this list that could really be classified as synth-pop at all, and a few who really didn't use synthesizers. Just sayin'.

	Yeah, I realize I kinda blurred the lines of what the definition of synthpop is. I took off ten of the more questionable ones, so I think the quiz is still long enough, and now hopefully more accurate.

	I would still say it's not even close to being accurate; but you could have just named it 80's pop bands as these artists all had hit songs (I mean... Mr. Mister?) - In response to the first comment, I'm playing GTA: VC this past week and I always listen to Wave 103... and already sick of listening to it LOL

	Just a couple of minor corrections: (1) "Luftballons" is misspelled (there's only one O); (2) on "Died in Your Arms," the parentheses are around the wrong part of the song - it should be "(I Just) Died in Your Arms"; and (3) for what it's worth, "Pop Muzik" and "Video Killed the Radio Star" peaked in 1979, at least in the U.S.

	I haven't checked the stats but I bet "Pop Musik" is close to 100%. I'd also bet that the vast majority of those are from people who had no idea who sang it. It's kinda like the "x" in bingo; a free square.
