	For the last one, I couldn't get Styx out of my head... If you insist on having the user name the title and the artist, Sprocle quizzes generally allow last name only for solo artists. It wuld also be nice if the chosen definition didn't include a form of the answer in it (e.g. Wham, PG), but that's a minor quibble. Now, to go all rockgolf on you, please adjust your column widths to 60-40 or so - the quiz will look a lot better. Perhaps add some colour and, if you really want to go the extra mile, try to line up the questions so the rows on each side are equal height.

	Way too many alternate answers. Wolfmother for Woman, Incubus for Drive, Shaggy for Angel, Styx for Lady. That's just off the top of my head and does not include alternate song titles. Bad quiz concept.

	@wckl: None of your examples are from the 80s!

	Yeah, but it would help if "80s" or "1980s" was in the instructions.

	Most of these are 80s. I know for a fact that Jump, Faith, KIss, Sledgehammer, Drive, Borderline, Nasty, Bad, and Angel are. I'm pretty sure they wrote Stand in the 90's. The rest I'm not sure of.
