correct :)


Just to make sure (because I had it for an alternative answer): it's not Roger Chapman either, right? ??? (Sang vocals on Mike Oldfield's Shadow On The Wall) Can't really remember the guy's face... :-\\



not Roger Chapman no

[quote author=whis

Thought so. I've still got one answer left before I reach my limit, though, so here it is:

#4: Wouldn't it be good - Nik Kershaw


You actually already had your 5 guesses, so I don't know if that answer is correct or not  ;)

I'll let ya have it, since you came in late on the other quiz :)

[quote author=whis

You know what? I never knew that before. :-correct answers. (Anyway, that's the way you're supposed to play my quizzes - have as many guesses as you like).

Thanks Jason! :)


I never knew that either.  I guessed 5, one was wrong, then I guessed one more and got it right.

Thought so. I've still got one answer left before I reach my limit, though, so here it is:

#4: Wouldn't it be good - Nik Kershaw


That one was killing me, as far as the artist went.  I have worn the Pretty In pink soundtrack to death, so I felt so silly not knowing it!!!!

It was nearly killing me, as far as the song went! ;D

A good guess on #45, but no.  The others are correct :)

[quote author=whis

Is picture 45 Simply Red?

Number 47 is Talk Talk??

and is 55  Deniece Matthews/Williams?

Hi whistledog - another great quiz, I'm here late but I can tell you that #45 is Joboxers (not sure about the spelling though).
They played at the Freshers' Ball at my university in 1982.

I also have a felling that #47 is The Icicle Works ??? They certainly have a scouse look about them  ;).

Hi again...a couple o' more, seeing as the limit's off...

#7. 'Run Runaway' - Slade (attempting to sound like Big Country!)
#18. 'Reap The Wild Wind' - Ultravox

#29. & #34. (in the absence of our Aussie chums!) were both lead singers at some stage with the Little River Band...

(I'm still mangling the brain on #58.!)

Hi Jason,
Is #10...Wild,Wild Life....Talking Heads?

OK, limit removed, these are all guesses:

18) Alive & Kicking Simple Minds
44) Arcadia (he looks like Simon Lebon)
58) Farewell My Summer Love by Michael Jackson???

#55 Vanity

On second thoughts... maybe it's UB 40.


nope, but a good guess though :)

No to all three, but good guesses :)


#55 Vanity


That's her :)

Geez - full marks for the effort mate, this is s a fantastic quiz !!!!!!!!

Happy new year everybody :D


Now ive been thinking about Question 58, but before i scrolled through everyones responses to see if it had been answered i wanted to actually give my answer before i forgot it.

Now i was tossing up between 2 songs, but I think the answer to no.58 is Thriller by Michael Jackson, i have a gut feeling about this one and i get the feeling i have heard this before when i was younger.

Nope, but a good guess though :)

With those hints I can make a few more guesses....

#26 must be China Crisis
#39 Men Without Hats
#54 Divine??

#59 is really driving me mad!

Let's see if I can score some more... some of these are wild guesses, I admit.

#16: Stray Cats - (She's) Sexy and 17 (The only band I can think of right now)

#26: must be China Crisis

#39: Men Without Hats

#54: is it Divine?  ???

#58: a stab in the dark here... is it Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime by The Korgis?  :-\\


Truth be told - I would never have guessed #26 and #39 w/o your clues. ;)

O darn! I just got beaten by maddog to three of those...

Hey Jason,let's see if we can start the new year off right

is #14 that"Rappin' Rodney Dangerfield"

Wow, somehow I missed this quiz when it first went up...


I'll guess that #58 is "Into The Night" by Benny Mardones (I know it charted both years)... :)

I think #16 might be "Rock This Town" by The Stray Cats.  :)

I think #16 might be "Rock This Town" by The Stray Cats.  :)



You might be right about that. And that's where I went wong, assuming that that song would have charted in US in 1981 (when it was origianlly released & charted in Europe). So I went for the only song I knew from 1983, being (She's) Sexy and 17 (although I couldn't figure out how those lyrics would fit in... :-\\)

It's Eddie Schwartz, but you came close enough ;)

#59 is incorrect, but a good guess though

I'll guess that #58 is "Into The Night" by Benny Mardones (I know it charted both years)... :)


Nice one, young Karen...I was thinking of UB40's 'Red Red Wine'...

From the clue...#44. is Roman Holliday - if you want to be pedantic, they actually had two British Top 40 hits...'Don't Try To Stop It' (obviously!) and 'Motormania' (which peaked at #40, so it counts!)

#59. - haven't a clue!

Motormania.  I always forget about that one.  Good tune, and the answer is indeed Roman Holliday :)


Nice one, young Karen...I was thinking of UB40's 'Red Red Wine'...


UB40 would have been a good guess.  That one was a two time top 40 hit on Billboard :)

Regardless of who answered the final question, Paul would still have been the winner, so I thought i'd go ahead and reveal the answer. 

It's a band called Silver Condor.  They were one hit wonders that no one would probably ever recognize by face, which is why i made it worth 3 points  ;D


Since all good things come in three's ... stay tuned for The Ultim-80's Quiz - Part III  8)

From the clue...#44. is Roman Holliday - if you want to be pedantic, they actually had two British Top 40 hits...'Don't Try To Stop It' (obviously!) and 'Motormania' (which peaked at #40, so it counts!)
