I scored 19/20. Can you beat me and score the perfect 20?
Congratulations to EclecticMusicLover, who has dominated this series. He beat Rich Kamerman by 3 seconds.
Enjoy this newly discovered 1973 recording from Mahavishnu Orchestra.

Lots of guys with big hair to sort through but I managed to score 20/20 with 4:56 to spare.
Yup, a lot of hair but not many women.
1720… I knew who sang all the songs, but the sheer number of mullets threw me off…
Lol, the music has held up better than the hairstyles.
90% . 18/20 . 04:18 – I grew up in the 80s, what can I say. No shortage of hair in that quiz.
Great work, I wish I could grow hair like that now.
Yes me too!
19/20 for me. We tied.
We certainly did – good work.
20/20 with 4:13 left. Lots of hair in those pics…. lol Thanks as always.
Great work! Agreed about the hair.
Alright…thanks to my touchscreen, and ridiculous knowledge of ’80s bands (courtesy of three record store jobs between 1983 & 1988), I got 20/20 with 5:15 left on the clock. I will definitely check out that Mahavishnu video. I’ve been a huge fan since high school and I always love seeing footage of them in action.
Sounds like your decade for sure!
Score
20/20
Timer
04:38 Came down to the last two….IM and Simply R….of course there is a big difference in those bands…but I guessed one the song and got it right…totally lucky…the rest I knew pretty well.
I think I had trouble with Foreigner – no idea what they look like. Good work!
The only reason I know them is because Lou Gramm has a peculiar look about him. I couldn’t tell you what the other ones look like.
He’s a bit like Gollum? But Steve Howe from Yes is even more Gollum-like.
LOL…yes…that is one way to put it! Very…uh… distinct… Yes you are right about Howe as well!
Pretty dismal: 16/20 with 1:56 minutes left. While I know a good deal of ’80s music from the radio, I missed the entire MTV era since my parents were late-comers to cable. I guess, as such, I evidently don’t know well how many bands looked!
Looks like SporcleBot scored 13/20, so 16 is a pretty good score really. Just lots of dedicated music nerds playing the quiz on this site. Did you try singing “I want my, I want my, I want my MTV!” to your parents?
😆 Actually, I did not.
