It does look better, and it's suprisingly easier to do than the other quizzes I did.  I just changed the page the player is on to make it look 100% better 8)

It also helps in posting answers faster because you don't have to click the link, wait for it to come up, listen to it and then hurry to post before someone else gets it first.  You should do this format for your next one.  8)

Correct, and correct yes.  It is actually a 1977 song, but didn't become a single until late 1981

Hi Jason! Love the new format! :)

Let me solve #7... it's Stars on Stevie by Stars on 45 (or was it known as Starsound in Canada?).

#2 I'm pretty sure is OMD, not sure about the song... I'll throw in We Love You.

#12 is by Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin.

#22 is Japanese Boy by Aneka... ugh! :P

#16 is Bryan Ferry singing, so it's either him solo or Roxy Music. I'm just guessing it's him solo, 'cause I don't recognize the song. :-\\

That just might make it four.

I read where Lindsey originally meant it to be a Fleetwood Mac song, but he decided to take it solo instead.  Worked out well for him 8)
