Pop Quiz Time!




I was going through blogs at BlogMad to earn some credits (they get used up so fast, I can't keep up! I need to employ someone to earn me credits all day for a job!) and came across a link to a blog from someone in this picture. It made me come over all nostalgic and I thought about all those bands from the 80s that were played on the radio, that I don't have on CD and hardly ever hear anymore. (I know there are 80s radio stations 10 a penny on the interweb-thingy but I never remember to put the radio on!). It's inspired me to put together this collage of groups who had songs I liked at the time.

Now for the quiz.....are you ready?

Who can be the first to name all 13 groups? (Here's a clue: they aren't all groups, some are solo artists!). And a very special award will go to the person who names the person in the picture whose blog I discovered this week.

(Gulp, I hope I get at least one contestant, or I could have egg all over my mug!)

  1. I can only positively identify three of them.

    The Thompson Twins
    Thomas Dolby
    Gary Numan

    The rest look vaguely familiar, but I cannot remember their names. I guess I was pretty good at supressing these memories.

  2. I could maybe get one or two at best but I'm sure I won't be the one to win this. I'm curious to see who DOES, though. ;)

  3. Alien: All correct, so far you're in the running for the Pop Quiz Grail (it's magnificent I should point out!)

    Nicole: Looks like it might be Alien unless someone pips him to the post!

  4. Figued out another, I think. Is that Tears for Fears below the Thompson Twins?

  5. Nope, you must be the King of Wishful Thinking because Tears for Fears didn't have a song on the sound track for Pretty Woman.

  6. Now you gave it away, all i have to do is look up the "Pretty Woman" soundtrack and list the groups. Now somebody could beat me to it.
