Music Quiz: Album of the Year Winners (1980s)

1. 10/10, 3:45 remaining.

   Two thoughts after playing this quiz:
   – I did not realize that Toto won an album of the year, the only way I got that was I just assumed an anonymous group of middle-aged white guys winning the Grammy in 1983 was probably them.
   -That look on Phil Collins’s face, clutching all the Grammys, probably triggered the backlash.

   • Good work! That 1983 choice was ridiculed for a long time, but they probably have more cachet than their cooler contemporaries at this point – everyone knows Africa.

2. 8/10 and couldn’t remember cc’s name and no idea on the “oz” one.

   • Those are the two tough ones I think…

3. 10/10 with 4:30 left, not quite as quick as you.

   • Still in the lead though.

4. 10/10 with 4:15 left. Got lucky as I watched a documentary on the 1980 winner recently or I would have scored a 9. This was fun. Thanks as always…

   • I thought the 1981 one was the tough one – not as recognisable to me at least.

5. Score
   10/10
   Timer
   04:10 I had to google a last name that I could NOT spell right lol…LR…I wanted to put a T in there.

   • Great job. I’m glad you didn’t keep guessing the spelling ALL NIGHT LONG.

     • AH! I saw what you done there!

6. I struggled with 1980. I couldn’t see the picture well enough, finally figured it out so 10/10 with around 2 minutes so no, couldn’t beat your time.

   • Great work – a few people found the 1980 one tricky I think – I thought the 1981 one was harder.
