Time to test your knowledge of 80s music. I got a score of 112 myself, which I guess is pretty good, except that when it showed me the answers, I felt like I should have done even better.
Don't feel bad, Kathy, I only got 40 -- and that was including what they called a "Mom bonus". Evidently, the fact that the earliest thing I was born before was the Slinky -- and my cluelessness on the quiz -- led them to believe I was of an older generation.
Now if they had done one for that late 50s and the 60s, I'd have aced it. :-)
A solid 90.1 for me, counting a couple of bonus factors. Some of the ones I missed made me feel dumb. Some of the ones I missed I'm happy I missed, since I've been trying to forget those songs. What's the max score? You did quite well, Doctor.
50 and proud of it. 10 of those points were from the Hotel California question too. The 80s were never my thing. Some lyrica I got wrong (almost any verb works in I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For), but even the ones I *should* have had, might've bumped me to 60. I think I'd do better in the 60s/70s.
Ouch, some stupid typos pushed me down to 66. That's what I get for doing this when tired.
Fixing those bumps me up an impressive 10 points to 76 ("Childhood memroies?" please). But I still didn't remember that Jessie was spelled with an 'i'.

Jeez, I only got a 71, but this isn't exactly my milieu. There were only a few I missed that I felt like I should have had. Oh well.

I don't think spelling counts, so I say you get the full 76, David.
I have no idea what the top score is. But apparently I'm way too big an 80s music geek.
106.5 after I corrected the spelling of colitas - who ever knew how to spell that in the first place?
I misspelled "Billie" in the first question! Not a grand start. Had a few lucky guesses too. 84.
