Subject: 1980s Album Quiz (Vol. III) NOTHING LEFT
Written By: FaultyDog on 09/29/06 at 2:37 pm
It's been quite some time since Volumes I & II...but finally, here's Volume III
For those of you who don't know (or don't remember): I've listed 41 album titles from the 1980s, divided into three categories. All you have to do is give me the artist/band.
I've raised the limit to 6.
Good luck everyone! :)
Scores so far:
18.0 Paul
16.0 whistledog
15.0 Gambo
6.0 maddog
5.0 CeramicsFanatic
3.0 loki 13 / Tam
2.0 Doc Brown / FussBudgetVanPelt / mooster / Sister Morphine
1.0 ktelqueen / nally
HERE ARE SOME HINTS TO HELP YOU...
29. Tracks include: Memphis In The Meantime/Alone In The Dark/Thing Called Love/Your Dad Did
Singles from this album: "Have A Little Faith In Me" and "Thank You Girl"
"Child Of The Blue Yonder" and "Perfectly Good Guitar" are some of his biggest hits.
31. Tracks include: Goldmine/Do You Love Me?/Secret Wish/Crossfire (Parts I & II)
Singles(s) from this album: "I'm Still Missing Your love"
Hard to name any other songs without giving too much away...Maybe "The Finest" and "Tell Me If You Still Care" will do.

All three are correct, Jason. Did you ever find a CD to replace the tape..? ???
I never did no. I'd only ever get it on CD if it was like really cheap in a pawn shop or flea market. I originally got the cassette just cause I knew how hard it was to get. Plus, I wanted to expand my knowledge of Sylvian, as the only album I had prior was "Gentlemen Take Polaroids"

You got two out of three (#10 and 11). The artist for #24 isn't Glenn Frey, as I'm looking for albums that came out in the 1980s.

Kiss and Neil Young are both correct, Kevin. :)

#3 is incorrect I'm afraid, but #30 is Ziggy Marley, yes! :)

Then for my final guess, for #3, assuming there are no other albums with this title, Fahrenheit is the excellent 1986 album by Toto.

I could be wrong (again), but I think there's only the Toto album with this title. It featured the singles "I'll be over you" and "Without your love".

You may be right. The closest similar title I know if is Bon Jovi with "7800 Fahrenheit", other than that, I only know of the Toto album

Don't forget Patrick Duffy (yes, him too! :o)
But you're right, it is Audrey Landers. I think she only hit the charts in Europe. "Mi Amor" reached #30 in Dutch Top 40 in 1985. Prior to that she already scored two Top 10 hits over here ("Manuel Goodbye" reached #2, and "Playa Blanca" reached #7).

Search for "Together We're Strong". It's a duet with French singer Mireille Mathieu. The song hit #5 in Dutch Top 40. :o

It wasn't that bad, I agree. I don't know why he (got) teamed up with Mireille Mathieu, though. :-\\ She wasn't exactly top-of-the-bill in Europe at the time. In fact, she hadn't had a Top 40 hit in the Netherlands in 10 years!
Speaking of Mireille Mathieu: did you know she also did a duet with Barry Manilow..? ::)

Yeah, I was looking up info on her. Looks like she's had some success in Canada with a few A/C hits: one in 1979 called "You and I" with Paul Anka and another in 1982 called "The Waltz of Goodbye"
