Good quiz. Please accept "Keep on Rockin in the free world" for 4:40 though.

@PublicEnemy - the title of the song is just "Rocking in the Free World". If he accepts "Keep on..." than he should accept the first line of the chorus of all the other songs as well. By the way... its "Their".

dunno how many times I typed in "Jesse" without the "i" before I figured out my mistake. Great quiz...like that it's more than just radio hits...

Awesome quiz! Technically, the title is "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" so maybe you should just accept Dude?

Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that I never lived in the 80's but knew over half of these.

i love "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Did you tape The Flame off the radio? The sound quality is rather poor.

Good quiz, except most of these aren't rock songs. You can tell that you don't know much about music. RUSH isn't rock.

"Rush isn't rock". Elaborate please. I'd love to hear why they aren't rock.
