Music Quiz: 4 Decades of Music Hits
Last week’s competition could perhaps be described as the Falklands War of Music Quizzes, with Bruce (https://vinylconnection.com.au/) just pipping Rich by the thinnest of hairs (3 seconds).
This week’s quiz requires you to match the song to the decade.

It’s a bit of a speed contest, although it can get tricky when a song is near the cusp of a decade. I scored 24/24 in 0:55 – can you join me on 100%? Can you beat my time?
Aphoristical
Graham Fyfe is fascinated by pop music, and he may just be the only blogger in the world to cover Neil Diamond and Ariana Grande.
This follically-challenged contestant enjoyed your introduction this week. And I matched you exactly at 24/24 with 3:05 left on the clock. That was intense.

Did you get both hair jokes. The Falklands one might have been too obscure…

22/24: 2:48. The quiz was kind enough to say, “Nice, solid effort. We are so proud of you right now.”

I actually would have put Shannon in the 1950s if I could.

Although my time was good, I got one wrong. Someone I’ve never listened to at all named Celine Dion. Was she big or something?

Huge voice, little soul. I do like It’s All Coming Back To Me, which has Jim Steinman and Todd Rundgren.

22/24 – one misclick and I missed Celine Dion

Celine Dion was all over the radio in my teens, so I find it pretty easy to match her to the 1990s.
