Music Quiz: 4 Decades of Music Hits VIII
Last week’s 1980s lyric quiz was won by Eclectic Music Lover, who completed the quiz with 44 seconds to spare. Congratulations to everyone who registered a perfect score.
This week you need to connect the hit to the decade.

I scored 23/24 – I missed the Metallica one, which is interesting as I plan to cover Metallica on this site sometime (unlike Tom Jones and 4 Non Blondes).
Can you beat me with a perfect score?
Aphoristical
Graham Fyfe is fascinated by pop music, and he may be the only blogger in the world to cover Neil Diamond and Ariana Grande.
17/24. I knew every one of those songs but alas, was often off by a decade. Jolene surprised me. The site decided to go smart ass on me and said, “Of all the scores you could have gotten, that was one of them.” No argument there.

It’s hard to refute Sporcle’s point…. I think most of Parton’s big songs are from the 1970s?

Beats the hell out of me. My knowledge of country music is slightly above nil.

I assumed it was from the self titled record but it was much earlier.

I made the same assumption. It’s off the 1984 Ride the Lightning album.

24, with 2:44 to go.
A couple close calls with guessing on a few of the ’60s/’70s but it worked out in the end!

I think you’re the only perfect score so far – and fast too.

20/24 – the artists I got wrong were Tina Turner, Dusty Springfield, 4 Non Blondes and Santeria.

Santeria is the song by the way. Sublime is the band. I like how you almost got one wrong from each decade.

20/24 for me as well. I missed the Tom Jones one and some others I can’t recall. The 90s tracks were easy, though!

Santeria is the song, Sublime is the band by the way. Guessing 1990s if you don’t know it is probably a good strategy.

23/24 and I missed the same one you did. Ironically, I wrote a 4-part series on the Metallica discography in 2013, so I should hang my head in shame for missing a perfect score.

22/24 so not too bad. 2:24 remaining on the clock, not that it matters since people got 100%.

17/24 is not great. I was guessing, half the time. It appears I don’t pay as much attention to decades/years as I thought I did.

Cool! That means you mind works that way naturally, by now. My mind, well, it’s a gibbering monkey clapping cymbals, most of the time… yet I’ll remember weirdly specific things at odd times, but not usually when I need them!
