@@david1731048 , but all in one place and no need to watch the video again :) Thanks @MrDan1466 for such a big job having done. Didn't get 4, TBH, only 1 of them I don't (OK - didn't) know until introduced. The rest - I know, I like or I adore :): Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton - "Islands In The Stream" - I didn't get it from the first seconds but I know it; Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine - "Conga" - thought it was "Dr. Beat", it's from the series ' wait wait, I know it, I know it... Was it a..... ?" Eddie Murphy - "Party All The Time" - of course, I knew it.... John Mellencamp - "Jack and Diane" - never heard it. The rest - wake me in the middle of my sleep and I'll give the right answers.
This was a good representation of the 80s, so I will not mention what I thought was missing... (The Smiths, The Cure, De La Soul, Public Enemy, Kraftwerk...etc...cough-cough)
No U2, Aerosmith, Asia, Berlin, Boston, Cars, Chicago, Oingo Boingo, Human League, Information Society, Jackson Browne, Jennifer Rush, Starship, Lionel Richie, Loverboy, Men at Work, Mr. Mister, Pat Benatar, Pet Shop Boys, Proclaimers, Psychedelic Furs, REO Speedwagon, Rick Springfield, Rush, Spandau Ballet, Steve Miller Band, Steve Winwood, Stevie Nicks, Talk Talk, Thomson Twins, ‘Till Tuesday, Tom Petty, Van Halen, Wham, White Lion, nor ZZ Top. What a freaking awesome decade across all genres.
The only one I missed was the name of the Miami Sound Machine song. I knew it was them but I actually never checked into the song's name, ever. I got every band name too. Used to win these contests on cruises all the time. One thing this did is confirm once again that the 80's were the most prolific period for music ever. So many hits of so many different types. An amazing time to be a teen.
As a kid from the 80s, on most of the songs I only needed to hear the first couple of notes to name them 😂 Easy🧐. Btw. the song „Gloria“ is originaly from Umberto Tozzi, and was very successfull here in Europe in 1979. I did not know, however, that there is a cover version by Laura Branigan 😮
Missed the Erasure song and brainfarted on Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine song (said "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You"), but got the rest. But send me to the grocery store for more than 4 things without a list...
You're exactly like me. I never knew the name of the Miami Sound Machine song and the Erasure song had question marks over my head for the title even though I knew who it was.
I missed 4 of them when I take this quiz recently. That is when it comes to naming the single and their artist correctly. I'm a Gen Z, but my parents are Gen Xers who were teens in the 1980s.
Got all but 3. I didn't recognise Caribbean Queen, though knew it was Billy Ocean, got the name of Jack and Diane wrong, and i've never heard the Eddie Murphy song in my puff.
I didn't have it together to count, but I got almost all. "Sweet Child O' Mine" is my go-to karaoke song, highly recommended, it's a crowd pleaser! "Jack & Diane" and "Tainted Love" too, but everyone loves GnR! And no worries, I didn't get Eddie Murphy either, would have needed the chorus.
I always hated that song so it could never stump me. Miami Sound Machine I had no idea what that was called. All I could think of was Rhythm is Gonna Getcha but that's their other hit
John Cougar, not John Mellencamp. He didn’t change his name until much later. I’m very disappointed that you listed it like this. Gen X’ers know, because we were THERE!
There will never be another decade of music like the 80’s and am glad to be a teenager then.
Will never be a time as good as that was again
I grew up on all these songs
Who can forget these songs! Watching MTV and listening to these artists. I recalled every song and artist except Party all the Time by Eddie Murphy.
i got 2 wrong - Eddie Murphy was one of them
Ahh! When people >>knew
Oh, that was so easy. 😂 I love the music of the 80s. I heard all this songs in my youth.
I don't need to guess since I grew up listening to these songs. I remember MTV's first broadcast.
Yup! Video Killed the Radio Star - The Buggles, followed by You Better Run - Pat Benetar
Sadly I didn’t need to guess, I was there.
Not sad at all, glad I was there to experience it. Awesome decade for music, movies as well ✌️
@ Not sad about the music, just my age
@@Vim-Wolf I hear ya on that. Stay young at heart is all we can do ✌️
I HEAR YA😂😂😂😂
Both said about my age, and sad about how those great days are long past.
Still listening to all of them on my cell every week. Best songs ever.
Who remembers when it was John Cougar, not Mellencamp?
I remember when he was John Cougar Mellencamp.....................and why he had to change that............who knows....??
I think it started with the album Uh-huh. ..Before that it was just John Cougar👍

💯 I got most of them before the timer even started.
I got them all before the video was even uploaded
Ditto. To easy!
I slipped on Depeche Mode completely..and couldn't remember Erasure's name. Other than that, didn't need the 3 sec countdown. Fun quiz.
@@beorlingoI got them all back in the 1970's
@@xboxgamer7453 yeah, didn't us geezers all!
80s was the best 👌
The 80s in my opinion was the best decade in music. English and spanish music. 84 in English music, maybe 87-88 in Spanish
You rickrolled me! You cheeky bastard.
I was very small in the 80’s but I got to hear all of these in the 90”s!!!! Great amazing music
This was fun, thanks!
What an era of music this was. Don’t sound like sane on a digital platform though. Get these on a tape deck or record player and it’s 👌👌👌👌
I knew them all. And remember them all and jammed out to them.
Can’t believe how many I knew and great fun finding out that I was much better than expected. Thanks ☺️
Omg soooo fun! So many of my favoirte songs!!!
Got them all right my kind of music ❤❤
Brilliant was kicking myself for not remembering a couple.
But we knew the song though 😊
OMG, came up on my time line. Had so much fun. Ime a 70’s kid and I adored the 80’s n I ain’t bragging here much, but I got 99 percent before the music finished. Had so much fun. You should do the same, with no answers, and comment underneath. This was amazing THANKYOU 💙80’s xx
Make this a playlist please 🙏🏼
I got them all right
I got them all apart from the Eddie Murphy track! Did anyone else in the UK get that as I really don’t recall it?
I'd never heard the song in my life. I knew Eddie Murphy had released music, but i've never heard any of it.
Best 80s Playlist ever!
Damn you, Cutting Crew. I can never remember your name.
The 80s were music. Very easy but nice to spend a few moments back there.

Cool about Andy Bell, and the only thing missing was Pet Shop Boys.
Great songs that took me back to the days of smash hits magazine
I like how you rick rolled us so sneakingly lol
Great fun. Thankyou
The soundtrack of my youth! Fun quiz - I got 100% of song titles and I missed 5 on artist/group names.
At our age, my brain doesn't move as fast.
This was a good representation of the 80s, so I will not mention what I thought was missing... (The Smiths, The Cure, De La Soul, Public Enemy, Kraftwerk...etc...cough-cough)
No U2, Aerosmith, Asia, Berlin, Boston, Cars, Chicago, Oingo Boingo, Human League, Information Society, Jackson Browne, Jennifer Rush, Starship, Lionel Richie, Loverboy, Men at Work, Mr. Mister, Pat Benatar, Pet Shop Boys, Proclaimers, Psychedelic Furs, REO Speedwagon, Rick Springfield, Rush, Spandau Ballet, Steve Miller Band, Steve Winwood, Stevie Nicks, Talk Talk, Thomson Twins, ‘Till Tuesday, Tom Petty, Van Halen, Wham, White Lion, nor ZZ Top.
What a freaking awesome decade across all genres.
Loved this so much! Knew most of them. This was fun!❤
Anybody who says they got the RELAX song by that little snippet is LYing. It's literally my favorite song that I listen to daily and NO WAY.
Nonsense, that was the few seconds just before the chorus - knew it instantly...
Got it. Totally not lying. I recognized the Bonham sample and the synth instantly. It's very distinctive
The only one I missed was the name of the Miami Sound Machine song. I knew it was them but I actually never checked into the song's name, ever. I got every band name too. Used to win these contests on cruises all the time. One thing this did is confirm once again that the 80's were the most prolific period for music ever. So many hits of so many different types.

gott 'em all!! the "Music Man" still has it!!!
Jeder aus den 80 ern hat alle Songs erkannt.
@jasonballard71 is that your account too ?
So fun! There were three I’ve never heard before, but got the rest.
EDDIE MURPHY!!! ??? Who knew!?
Everyone
I did!!!
If this was an album I'd buy it
I got about 98%
EVERYTHING!!!!
Gone them all except Erasure. Name, band and the year they came out. But don't ask me what I did yesterday because I couldn't tell you.
I named the year on a few of them, too! And I got Erasure because I'm a big fan!
Great fun. What a shame that you omitted the most talented artist out time and he was huge during this time. Prince! 💜
Vraiment bien fait ce quizz, extraits courts 😅 pas le temps de niaiser 😅
45/56 so not bad for someone born in '93
The songs of my youth! They don't make them the way the used to.
Too Shy ‘band’ was a tough one! Good quiz - thanks for sharing!
Foxy here.new them all my young me ❤
really well edited, thanks x
9:49 I remember everyone’s mind being blown when they found out it was Eddie!
Knew all of them, but couldn't name 6 of them.
Some were too damn easy.
Nice quiz! Subscribed.

I did that a couple times... Got the right artist but picked the wrong song and had to correct myself.
You're exactly like me. I never knew the name of the Miami Sound Machine song and the Erasure song had question marks over my head for the title even though I knew who it was.
I missed about 5, mostly the european ones that rarely got airplay in the US
I'm genX...this was easy.
I missed one, the genesis song. In the 80s the question was is it Genesis or Phil Collins solo?
Yeah, I'd thought that was him with Philip Bailey
I said Phil Collins and then changed it to Genesis
@@peema10 I thought the same thing at first!
95% of these songs are on my Spotify playlist
too easy
46 correct
I just came to make my playlist
Only one miss (at 0:52). I was born 1970.
Aced it!
Nice job 💙
Only one I didn’t know, Eddie Murphy one.
Gen X here ! I knew them all😅
I missed 4 of them when I take this quiz recently. That is when it comes to naming the single and their artist correctly. I'm a Gen Z, but my parents are Gen Xers who were teens in the 1980s.
I think the longest it took for me was 4 notes, lol… You need to have a Gen-X level quiz so that we can be challenged, too 😂
Being that I'm an all out metalhead from the 80's it wasn't super easy. I knew every song but one. I didn't know all the artists though.
Got all but 3. I didn't recognise Caribbean Queen, though knew it was Billy Ocean, got the name of Jack and Diane wrong, and i've never heard the Eddie Murphy song in my puff.
I did well except the couple songs before I listened to music in my youth and the kind of alternative music song.
Very, very easy.
I missed 4, but got all the artists before the timer.
All of them in tick box and not at all trying.
Sadly!😂
Too easy for me. 🇵🇪
Missed 4
I didn't have it together to count, but I got almost all. "Sweet Child O' Mine" is my go-to karaoke song, highly recommended, it's a crowd pleaser! "Jack & Diane" and "Tainted Love" too, but everyone loves GnR! And no worries, I didn't get Eddie Murphy either, would have needed the chorus.
The only one I didn’t get was Eddie Murphy. Knew all the others. 😊🎉
same here
Me too, lol
I got it, but the first thing that popped into my head was Jermaine Stewart. 😅
I always hated that song so it could never stump me. Miami Sound Machine I had no idea what that was called. All I could think of was Rhythm is Gonna Getcha but that's their other hit
Too easy 😂😂😂😂
I got 7 wrong, but they were mostly American songs. Pleased with that.
2 from M. Jackson and no PRINCE?
That's some bull
I got 44 right and knew the band of 6 others couldn't get the track name right.
If my memory was a tad better I wouldn't have to guess. Except the flock of seagulls, all I know about them is that Chandler Bing was a fan.
104/112
Let me guess, a Gen-Z person thought this was a difficult test....
I missed two of them because I think they never got played on the radio ever where I grew up in Texas. Otherwise, this felt too easy.
John Cougar, not John Mellencamp. He didn’t change his name until much later. I’m very disappointed that you listed it like this. Gen X’ers know, because we were THERE!
Missed two songs and three artists
I missed one
got about 90% some of the others i was like ugh i know this but not the names ha
the birds are going to dance! ewww for them
Only missed 1
I only missed 3. 1 I never heard and the other 2 I knew the song, but like a dummy not the name and probably 90% of the words wrong too 😅
Which ones did you miss?
To be honest, at our age, it takes a little bit longer. 🤭
Bin le fun
Darn 10 wrong I thought I knew my music
