9/10. Missed the last one.
I always thought Katrina and the Waves were from the US!

4/10... only was sure on #10, thought maybe on #7. The 80s was where music went to die.
No, the 80's still had some quality left. It was in the *90's* the music began to die, thanks mostly to that trashy rap/hip-hop.
As I said in another comment, it was in 2002 when I turned 40 the music naturally "died" for me. I just *couldn't* get into it anymore.

4 of 10! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

A-Ha was not a one-hit wonder in majority of the world. They did have a second hit in the US, “The Sun Always Shines on TV” but not many people remember it. All three guys are insanely talented, and Morten Harket made a fab pin-up idol on many walls in the 80’s!
They also did the theme song to a James Bond movie, just don't remember which one.
7 for 10, and I thought I knew my 80s one-hot wonders. Kudos to whoever designed this challenging quiz.

8/10. A few guesses.
same score for me too.
7/10 Some guesses on that one.
10/10 this was harder than I thought it would be.
10 of 10.
5/10. Not too good. They asked some really obscure questions.
Those questions were obscure.

9/10 - Now I remember why I only listened to my records, 8-tracks and cassettes.
Never had an 8-track but I still have my records and some cassettes.
8-tracks were a challenge especially in the car when you hit a few potholes. Used a lot of matchbook covers and pieces of cardboard to balance out the cartridge.
8-tracks were horrible.
8/10 missed nina and scritti
i mean teena
6/10. In my defense, I was looking for a job after graduating from college. Ah heck, I blew it!
7/10 but only knew a couple
6/10. ☹️
