#4. 'Earth Angel' - possibly New Edition(?)

#6. Our old friends Starsound (or whoever!) with 'Stars On Stevie'

All correct Paul! :)

'Give it Up' was (I believe) KC (and the Sunshine Band)'s last ever hit, though here in Canada, he had a popular remake of it in the late 90s which had French lyrics lol

maybe I'll get this one right

#28 Burnin' For You - Blue Oyster Cult

#28 Burnin' For You - Blue Oyster Cult


That is correct! :)

As far as Top 40 goes, I'd say you're probably right. Still, he did reach bubbling under section over here with "Something's Happening" later the same year.

It's amazing .. They had roughly 9 years worth of hits, and it's kept them going over 30 years.  KC still tours the world with the Sunshine Band performing their catalog of hits.  They had a cameo appearance in the 2003 remake 'The In-Laws'

Hi there Jason, some good memories in here, as always :)

Both correct Phil! :)

If there are others you only know either artist or title, you can always collet half points on them :)

Oh yes, now where were they?

#11 is UB40
#19 is Yeah Yeah, by ?
#32 is Daddy's Home, but it did not sound like Cliff Richard, something tells me Paul Anka.

It is Cliff Richard which gives you full points on that one, as well as both half correct on the others, giving you a total of 4 out of 5.  You have 1 (or two half answers) left :)

Thanks, let me think.

Not much here I can name offhand...

18. Bizarre Love Triangle - New Order
26. Needles and Pins ... but by whom? Maybe the Tom Petty/Heartbreakers version?
27. I think it's "Don't You Know Yockomo" but I couldn't even guess who would have done it in the 80s

#18 is correct :)
unfortunately the others are not :(

7 is by Corey hart, but i cannot think of the name of the song.

27 must be "Don't You Just Know It" then. I get those two confused.

Hey Jas! Almost a little too late!!! ;D

Excellent quiz btw!

38 Somewhere downt he crazy river - Robbie Robertson

40 Somebody's out there somewhere - Triumph

47 sounds so dang familiar but I have no clue! (I had to say it was familiar though cause it is bothering me now) :D

48 I think it is that Maureen chick.... her last name has vanished.... >:(

7 is by Corey hart, but i cannot think of the name of the song.


It is Corey Hart yes :)

I bet you are shocked to see these two not in the Top 40?  I was very sad to see that Robertson track was not in the Top 40.  I remember that song just like it was yesterday

Both those are correct! :)

And you're not even close on #48 :P

It is Corey Hart yes :)

Serious;y, I would have thought that Robbie's would have made Top 40! And Triumph?? C'mon! That song was on the charts on CKLC for weeks and weeks!!!

Not even close huh? That's cool. I figured out the chick's last name too but it don't matter no more! ;D
(Nice grammar right!) ;)

Hello,

#26 is "I'm In Love" by Evelyn Champagne King

Assuming you mean #25 ;)
It is Evelyn King yes, but unfortunately not that song in particular so you get a half point :)

Heh. Cool. :)

I only know two Holly Johnson songs, and it clearly wasn't Americanos. ;D

I just realised...wasn't the Ace song (#48) covered by Lipps Inc.? ???

It was yes, which gives you 3, making it 9 for 9, with 9½ points, giving you a commanding lead 8). 

I was hoping that one would need hints, cause I had a real good one ...
"The name of the artist is something Ashlee Simpson is skilled at" :D

I'm late to the party (as usual)  :\'(

8. It ain't enough 1983 (OMG wasn't he just dreamy!!!  *squeal*  lol)

26. Jive Bunny and the MixMasters   

45. sounds like REO Speedwagon

Hello again, Jason...

#10. 'Someone's Looking At You' - Boomtown Rats
#20. (Title) 'Say It Again'
#26. 'Back To The Sixties (Part 2)' - Tight Fit
#27. (Artist) Amazulu

Checking in rather late here...

I have no idea about the remaining ones, but I'd like to take a guess on one of them.

#45...is the band REO Speedwagon?

I'm sure it is, although Patty already guessed that above (perhaps Jason didn't see?)...

Anyway, I'm sure the song is 'That Ain't Love... :)

All of these are correct Paul! :)

You know what's weird about that Tight Fit song?  I'm not 100% sure it was a hit in Canada.  The printed charts credit the song as performed by Various Artists, but the label information is identical to that of the USA Tight Fit release.  It also charted in October of 1981, the same as America

http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/1016/back2the60sxn2.png

It would be interesting though if there actually was some other version of it as performed actually by various artists.  As far as I am concerned though, it's Tight Fit all the way!  Accept no substitutes LOL

Unfortunately Patty did beat you to it :(
She edited her post just moments after I'd quoted her.  A good try though :)

Oh well. :-\\ I didn't see it. Goes to show what happens when you get here way too late!

I knew several of the ones that had been answered already, but unfortunately I was nowhere near the 'puter when you posted it.

I have a feeling that #47 could be 'Operator' by Midnight Star, although I haven't heard the song in years to know for sure...

Hm...that was the only song I ever knew from them!  :-\\

I know TWO of their songs... the one you just mentioned, and "No Parking On The Dance Floor." I don't think that's the one, though. I'd take a listen, but the 'puter I'm on right now does not have audio.

And I would venture to guess that #47 is NOT "NPOTDF."

It is not NPOTDF, but you are in the neighbourhood lol

'Operator' was their only US Top 40 hit

The Limit has been removed.  If anyone wants the hints to come out, I have them ready to roll LOL

I enjoyed making this quiz so much, I am working on a sequel.  Then I will attempt a 70s edition 8)

Didn't think so. I only listened yesterday, and it didn't sound like it. Later in the day, I heard NPOTDF on the radio.

Oddly enough, I don't know either one - but I do know Midnight Star. They had two minor hits over here (not the two songs already mentioned), so I guess it's one of those two. Let's have another listen...

Modified to add:

Well, it doesn't sound like "Midas Touch", so I'm guessing it's "Don't Rock the Boat".  ???

Well, I don't know any other Midnight Star songs... :-\\



...and the hints didn't help me either. So this is it for me.

Can't actually listen at the moment, but I'll try working off the hints.

13 | (US #35, 1986)  Featuring the vocals of hit-making songwriter Holly Knight.  From their lone album '22B3'
Something by Spider?

34 | (US #24, 1982)  This was this group's last US Top 40 hit.  The lead singer wrote several of the smash hits for 'Dirty Dancing'.  With his band, he is best known for the song 'Sweetheart'
Franke and The Knockouts?

35 | (NO US CHART | UK #39, 1982)  Roger Waters would be disappointed that no one recognized this one.  I bet Sigfried and Roy like this song!
A Pink Floyd song?

41 | (NO US CHART | UK #78, 1987)  This one was massive in Australia, where the singer is from.  It's driving me out of my mind why no one knows this one
John Farnham

42 | (NO US CHART | UK #32, 1985)  A duet with a rocket man and a female singer who had an infamous album to which the cover shows her sitting on a toilet taking a crap lol
Act of War - Elton John and Millie Jackson... great song

47 | (US #66, 1983 | NO UK CHART)  From Midnight Star's album 'No Parking on the Dance Floor'.  A song about a robot type
"Freak-a-Zoid," perhaps?

This is correct Kevin :)

Here are the remaining answers.  Thanks to all who played :)

13 | Hanging on A Heart Attack - Device
34 | Without You (Not Another Lonely Night) - Franke and the Knockouts
41 | Pressure Down - John Farnham
