8/10! Easy to match the answer with the era! I still missed 3 & 8, and i believe 3 was "Marlon Brando" not just his last name! And would you believe they put a link to this quiz on THIS PAGE? talk about redundance,,,LOL!
10/10. One of the few songs from the 1980s I liked when it first came out. I liked it so much I bought a cassette single and played it constantly. I still have it on a 1980s compilation I made awhile back.
10/10, great song. Listen to it once, you can get an online History Degree, from the University of Phoenix.
9/10. Interestingly enough I was listening to another of Joel's songs--"Pressure"--while I was taking this quiz.
You got 5 out of 10
Fire? Buddy, you couldn't start a stopwatch with that score...

I remember that actor! Would you believe he lived long enough to be on Community? He was an old man, but still recognizable!
Even more surprising: H.M. Wyant, best remembered from The Howling Man, is STILL ALIVE and STILL ACTING!
