Yes, I know - but it was still in the charts and had a lot of airplay in 1980 - so to an extent, I kinda consider it an 80's hit
Subject: Re: Pop Quiz (But, pop-music ;) )
I'll guess the answer to #6 is Genesis. Although I'm only assuming they had a #1 in the 70's, and I believe one of the crappy singles they had in the early 90's made #1.
Subject: Re: Pop Quiz (But, pop-music ;) )
I just thought that I heard the fact on British radio, about the only band to have a no 1in the 70's, 80's and 90's - so it might just be a British number 1, although I'm not positive :-/. I could give you a clue, the band were American and they had many hits in the late 70's and early 80's.
I don't think anyone knows the Morrissey question!

Hall and Oates had number 1 hits in the 70's,the 80's and in the 90's. I heard you on the wireless back in 52. I can't believe no one knew Video killed the radio star. :o
Subject: Re: Pop Quiz (But, pop-music ;) )
These quiz's are fun but maybe if everyone was limited to 2 answers only than everyone could get a chance to answer? :-/
:D
Just a suggestion. ;)
Subject: Re: Pop Quiz (But, pop-music ;) )
Hmm, good suggestion Rapture - I'll do that for my next set of questions.
I might aswell give you the last 2 answers, as the others have been answerd in previous posts.
The band who have had British number 1 in the 70's, 80's and 90's ( I think it is British as the answer is def not Genisis and Hall and Oates - as they didn't in all 3 decades in England) is...Blondie! (Sunday Girl, Heart of Glass - 70's, Atomic, Tide Is High - 80's, Maria - 90's )
And Morriessys influence for writing 'Panic' was that after a news item on radio1 about the Hillsborough disaster, they immeditaly played, Wham - I'm Your Man, and he was furious at the thought.
I'll post second set of questions later today :)
