[@TheQuizChannel]

😋

[@ringinn7880]

Dammit the plagiarized intro!

[@roxannehoff2889]

Thats pretty shameful! Oh and ice ice baby is a 90s song.

[@dwofford]

Me too

[@jamescole6846]

Me too. Stop, Collaborate and listen. This is Queen, not a pound of bacon.

[@paparavioli7765]

The Rick roll came out of nowhere, and I knew it would be there but I was still caught off guard.

[@TheQuizChannel]

🤣

[@W81Researcher]

Please time stamp it

[@richardfowler3254]

The "Rick Roll" is my wife's ring tone, we hear it everyday !!

[@ptnk]

Very difficult video. Almost all the melodies are familiar, but we were able to remember only about ten songs. It was very interesting to guess. Many thanks!

[@TheQuizChannel]

You’re welcome Sergey 😃 !

[@mattgardner1969]

Wow that brought back some memories!! Yet more proof if it was needed that the 80’s was the greatest decade of all time!!

[@brunoskorniak9722]

Best time ever!

[@sigsin1]

No. 70’s!!!

[@brendajackson7339]

Loved this quiz!80's music is my jam.I only missed 5 and that's because I honestly never heard of them before.

[@noodlztheory]

Loving the channel, wife and I had a rather competitive evening. Look forward to more.

[@TheQuizChannel]

Thanks Matt 😃

[@nathanocalvino]

38 out of 60 Thought I would have done much better than that because the 80s is my favorite decade of music.

[@blurry67]

Boy that was easy. 60 out of 60 😊 I'd like to point out, though, thst Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush came out in 1978. Not quite 80s...

[@dreadstar3489]

Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights was actually a hit in 1978 & not the '80s but a good quiz. Brought back the DJ'ing memories.

[@stevemeters3090]

China Drum covered this in the 90s. It was amazing.

[@LindaC616]

That explains why I knew the singer but not the song!

[@AdamG1983]

"Running Up That Hill" would have been a better choice

[@markharman6471]

Great quiz

[@buttonsquiznightsBQN]

If u like quiz n to make friends I do live quiz most nights music and questions 😊

[@dvdv8197]

24 minutes 🤩🤩 will do the quiz tomorrow then, no time today. 😅🙈 Thanks!

[@TheQuizChannel]

It’s the longest video on the channel 😋

[@AZQuizzes-ho3fv]

Really great questions. Learned alot. Thanks for the quiz!

[@damianbrink5081]

60 out of 60. Thanks for putting Modern talking and Spargo in it. Great music

[@TheQuizChannel]

Awesome Damian !!

[@thomaskennedy2936]

54/60 The ones I missed I didn't hear a lot. Great time to grow up!

[@nathalie_desrosiers]

Thanks for putting Depeche Mode. Suggestions for next 80s music quiz : The Cure, The Smiths, New Order, The Cars. Maybe some Canadians artists too (well knowns Bryan Adams and Corey Hart, or Men Without Hats(Safety Dance), The Box (L'Affaire Dumoutier), Luba (Let It Go), Gowan (A Criminal Mind, ). Yeah. Let's mess with people's mind.

[@brunoskorniak9722]

Yay! Somebody else still loves 80s techno! New order so awesome! Still crank bizarre love triangle!

[@HPFangirl71]

I got maybe 6 wrong. Some I knew only the song titles. I sang along with pretty much all of them. I'm definitely an 80s kid.

[@ChristianSirianni]

7:27 RICKROLL!!!!!!! Btw, the 80's were the best decade in music history, baby:):)

[@sharontonks3192]

They certainly were! A teenager then, the music, the fashion, the questionable hair!

[@ED80s]

Agree. Best era! I miss it

[@BrainRaterQuizzes-gn7hq]

The content creator's dedication to quizzes is inspiring. Thank you!

[@Dayo98]

Just came here for all those great songs I never know the name of when driving

[@mikeortiz6008]

I'm sorry to say I missed 3 out of these songs! This is my favorite era of music it was just fun music to either make you sing or dance to the music!

[@TaraWilson1010]

I missed 3 also. I wonder if we missed the same ones?? 😂

[@mikeortiz6008]

​@Altaira Wilson Womack and Womack- Teardrops Four Tops- Loco in Acapulco and Modern Talking-Brother Louie those were the 3 song's though I has to go back and listen again it had been a year since I took the test lol.

[@ManOfThePeople75]

I got a little over 50 songs; a little over 40 with the artists. Great quiz, thank you!!!

[@midnyteblues]

I got almost all of them. Pretty damn good considering I was born in ‘79 and didn’t start really “caring” about the names of the artists and whatnot until the late 80’s. Only about three or four I’ve never heard of because they weren’t mainstream or even a one hit wonder, junk bands I call them. A handful I knew the artist but not the song, most I knew both. Didn’t fool me with the “Under Pressure” one though hahaha!!! Plus I was expecting the Rick roll, so it was a fun little addition. I agree with most of the comments; the 80’s must haves are Heart, STYX, Journey, Hall and Oates, Debbie Gibson, Shannon “Let the Music Play”, and the roller-skating anthem of all skating rink songs…. “When I Hear Music” by Debbie Deb, just because skating rinks played an integral part of the dating life of many of us 80’s kids heading into the early nineties lol. I mean, who can forget just grabbing the hand of your crush and pulling them onto the rink during a “couple skate” song. Innocently of course. The world wasn’t so damn sensitive and weak-ass minded like it is today. Hell, most of us weren’t even teenagers then. Great list over all. :)

[@LindaC616]

Yes! And some Billy Joel! Who's Modern Talking?

[@estudiantes68]

Suggestions for another 80's quiz: Pet Shop Boys, Tina Turner, Laura Branigan, Heart, Lionel Richie, Whitney Houston, Huey Lewis & The News, Bonnie Tyler, Kylie Minogue, Corey Hart, George Michael, Bryan Adams, Talking Heads, The Cure, Air Supply, Paul McCartney, The Cars, REO Speedwagon, George Harrison, Thompson Twins, Belinda Carlisle... The best decade ever!

[@gigith1278]

his voice! i cant control it! its getting everywhere!

[@allanburton8115]

The best thing about the 80's? Music didn't suck

[@PUNKinDRUBLIC72]

Some of it did be honest.(I know I'm two years behind you!)

[@janetskelton4196]

That was fun. A couple of bands in there I have never heard of, so I learned something.

[@TheQuizChannel]

Glad you enjoyed the video Janet 😃

[@damianbrink5081]

Which ones have you never heard of?

[@janetskelton4196]

@@damianbrink5081 I’ve never heard of Modern Talking and Spargo. Now, I know who the Four Tops and Womack & Womack are, I just wasn’t familiar with the songs of theirs that were played in this quiz.

[@damianbrink5081]

@@janetskelton4196 Okay. Modern Talking is a great band. And You and me by spargo is an amazing song. Spargo is Dutch(like me) so i understand why you never heard of them

[@robertedwards7900]

50/60. Some obscure artists I hadn’t heard before. Good quiz!!!

[@maureenwagg5305]

48.5 I had the artist but not the song on one. Mostly right. Some were too obscure and didn't get airplay at all in Canada.

[@marktaylor7742]

11 songs that I had no idea on, 5 songs that I didn't figure it out in time and the rest were all good.

[@briancurran1667]

I had the same number, couldn’t pin it down fast enough

[@robertbroughton1443]

I hope you have another version coming out, because you missed quite a few. For instance Def Leppard, Poison, Night Ranger, Quarter flash, The Fixx, The Tubes, Bonnie Tyler, Judas Priest, etc.

[@clareshaughnessy2745]

These videos of yours are Brilliant!! You have a subscriber! And a lot of recommendations

[@Tinaf653]

I got so excited hearing my favourite band Madness in there, lol! I got about ten wrong, either I didn’t remember (though the tune was familiar), or I never heard of them. So I got 50. Or 100, if you give separate points for song and artist.

[@Boirguir]

I agree madness are easily my favourite band as well

[@pinkchaos.]

I was 16 and went to Applebees for a music quiz, and won, and the prizes here bud light tee shirts, and they had to give us the bid light tee shirts cause we won, and we wore them at school every Friday 😆 I’ll never forget it 👍🏻

[@FishpondsLady]

55. Not bad! But who on earth is the first chap? I've never heard of him, or his song (although I am sure he is a very nice man). Thanks for this, it brought back so many happy memories ❤️

[@chrissyellem7397]

That song is from Flashdance movie soundtrack

[@linasbutcher1914]

I got 33/60 and as for the ones I missed. I blame it on brain farts! Due to the lack of good music these days. But thanks for the trip down memory lane. 😊

[@gonzo3954]

I knew every song but couldn't remember both artist and title...grrr! Awesome quiz tho!

[@Stoogewriter]

Some of these songs were familiar but I just couldn't remember the title and singer.

[@Pettit10000]

Nice. 56 out of 60, though I worked as both a radio and a club DJ/VJ during much of the 80s, so I might've done even better, though--note--I intentionally handicapped myself by playing the video at 1.5x speed.

[@TaraWilson1010]

😳 😂

[@simonnoel649]

Great fun quiz. I gave myself 1 point for the song title and one for the artist, 111 of of 120. No.59 cost me 2 points - never heard it before :)

[@althea6788]

Playing it with my gf, very funny and entertaining, reminds me of when i was still not born :joy:

I'm sorry to break this to you, but you CAN'T be reminded of a time from BEFORE you were born.

I suck. I love rock and got all those, but 50% of the pop/soul/disco music..never even heard of them.

Want more fun? Give yourself one point for the artist, and one point for the song, with a perfect score being 120.

[@ED80s]

Yes! Sometimes u know one and not the other so no score

Just a suggestion: don't play music between the clip and our time to guess! A countdown would be great.

[@benjaminelsbury683]

Missed 10 thank you for the memories

[@haynlavaboy]

knew all the titles but 5 and those 5 i have never really heard before, missed 10 of the artists. The hardest part was singing the songs and the next song would start playing. haha

[@Human_10101]

I saw rick on the thumbnail and checked to see if there was. And yes… I got rickrolled. 7:37

i got 59 80's right and even got the one from the 70's right (kate bush is from 78)

Fake

[@vanessalucas4760]

My brain really messed with me on this one. There were some I couldn't remember the song title or the artist or both, and a handful I'd never heard before. So I ended up with a pretty mediocre 39 out of 60. 😂😅A fun quiz though.

[@tamicoil7069]

Where was AC/DC, REO, Journey, Styx?? They were huge in the 80s. It's like you tried to find the most obscure new wave music.

[@estudiantes68]

Got all but Dolly Parton, Womack & Womack, Luther Vandross, Four Tops and Spargo. 55/60.

[@axby846]

Omg soo proud I got 40 out of 60 and I was born in the 2000s 😂

55/60. Can’t believe I couldn’t remember Crowded House! Shameful 😅Modern talking was another one that got me, I remembered the song but not the artist. Enjoyed that very much.

[@richardfowler3254]

I scored myself. I did one point for the song and one point for the artist, I scored 101/120.

[@lynjago6022]

I have done a few of these 80s songs quizzes. And only 1 a Duran Duran song? !!!

[@Tommm03]

21/60 (a point for BOTH song title & artist) 52/120 (if I were to give myself a point per song title and per artist)

[@BeerCigarsAndTexas]

I was surprised there were 3 or 4 I didn't know at all. I feel ashamed but I did pretty good overall

Missed 6. Some of which I had never heard of

54 out of 60

All of the titles, escept for the two godawful Europop tracks at the end 😉.

NOT THE JOJO REFRENCE

[@naginiriddle7091]

I grew up on that song, lol. It was a pleasant surprise to have it pop up on Jojo's, which I wasn't expecting, but it's still a song I associate as 80s rather than Jojos, hahahaha

[@mikereiss4216]

I was glad to hear Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush on here. However, it's not an 80s song (1978). Running Up That Hill would have been a better choice imo. Or maybe the Pat Benatar version of WH.

[@nikalpaca]

I find it a bit funny though how there's not a single pet shop boys song in this 80s compilation
