Subject: The Unorthodox 80s Album Quiz <Complete!>
Written By: whistledog on 05/26/07 at 7:49 am

In a standard audio quiz, you simply provide the names of the songs and artists, but if I presented you with several songs at once, could you tell me what album they appear on? ...
Each clip contains a medley of three songs that appeared on an album that reached the Top 40 in Canada (excluding the last 5 which charted outside of the Top 40). All you have to do is tell me the name of the album and the artist (You don't have to name the songs, though you can if you want, but there are no bonus points lol)
There are 40 albums in total. I hope you enjoy! ☻

You have the numbers correct, but half points on #34. It's Men at Work, but not that title :(
Which gives you 2½ our of 4 :)

Titles are a guess on the first 3, as I only have the last one (as an album). Other (hits) on compilations.
12. Lexicon of love: ABC
23. Color by numbers: Culture Club
30. In a big Country: Big Country
32. Avalon: Roxy Music (one of my all time fave albums).

The album was Business As Usual. so

I'm amazed if that is so. Thought their 'living on the ceiling' had pretty much permeated throughout the universe. A highly recommended song to download, if you don't know it / don't know it that well. As for their version of 'The Day before you came' .. I thought it was pretty ordinary compared to the terrific haunting version by Abba, even though it was the first cover of an Abba song to actually do better in the UK charts than Abba themselves!

Agnetha Faltskog even appears in the video. The Blancmange version was good, but I too prefer the ABBA version a smidge more

Based on your hints...
37 | The title of the album is the title of her biggest hit
Arguable, 'cause it wasn't her biggest hit over here - but I think you mean "Flashdance...What A Feeling".
39 | another term meaning 'simple parts'
Must be "Easy Pieces" then.
