Subject: Identify 80's Band or Artist by Song Titles
Written By: iluvthe80s on 05/24/05 at 7:35 am
Here's how it works:
You give a short list of about 2 or 3 songs from a popular 80's band or singer and someone has to guess the band or artist, then that person can give another list of song titles from an 80's band or artist for the next person to guess. I'll start with one of my personal faves:
Home Sweet Home, Smokin in the Boys Room, Girls Girls Girls

Can anyone identify the artist responsible for the following?
Up The Hill Backwards, Without You, Time Will Crawl.

I can't believe no one got this one! It's Peter Schilling, best known for the song "Major Tom (Coming Home)" I don't know if the first two songs were really hits, but they were on his greatest hits collection, and the last one was a minor Billboard Hot 100 hit.....
How about something a little easier....
