Hey...great quiz, Karen! I like seeing different kinds of quizzes...so here we go:
#4: 1984
#6: 1986
#20: 1983
Of course, I was a little kid during those years, so I don't actually remember much of the music that was around then, but I know it now! :) ;D

I drift back in time to answer...
#18 is 1987, #3 is 1988!
Little mistake here, though. "Axel F" was recorded by Harold Faltemeyer, who did all the Beverly Hills Cop music. Jan Hammer was the composer of the Miami Vice score! Just FYI.
Your Pal,
Doc

Both are correct!

You are right...and sorry about that! I often get those two composers mixed up!

Aww shucks! Can I correct myself? Is it 1989? I knew I might be off by a year. I always assume that Love Shack came out in 1990!

I was wrong on 1977, and Mandamoo guessed 1979, so I'll go down the middle with 1978 for #13. ;)
