   • Funny, I thought you were younger. But I always think everyone is younger 🙂

     • I’ve been told I look younger than I am. Maybe my avatar looks younger too? 😉

       1

       • It looks about 6 months old 😀

         • Hmmm! I’m not even sure if those flowers can bloom for 6 months at a time…

4. 2 out of ten

   • Oops! I’m guessing this is before your time 🙂

5. Hi. Norman, I Got 6/10 I Not Know 1977 year Songs. Because Its So Old.
   By The Way Nice Quiz.

   • Well you did well then, Hamza ?

6. got 5 out of 10 right!

   • Okay – 5 out of 10! I think it’s before your time 🙂

7. 8/10? That’s ridiculous! I was nearly as ignorant about pop music at the age of 15 as I am now at 65!

   • It just goes to show that stuff seeps in, whether we know it or not!

     • It’s a strange sort of seepage then! For one thing I have always found it appalling how most popular singers are so bad at enunciating their words – identifying lyrics is therefore far from easy if you never knew what they were in the first place!

       • This just gets mysteriouser 😉

         • It would appear that my maths hasn`t improved a great deal since 1977 – I was 25 then, not 15! Perhaps I can offer as an excuse for poor popular music knowledge that I spent part of that year working in Moscow!

         • 8 out of 10 doesn’t really need an excuse!

    • Impressive score, DPG!

      • The late 1970s was my favorite era of music.

14. Only one wrong. Awesome quiz.

    • Oh, well done, Lena! Thanks for playing 🙂

15. 7/10 but then you didn’t have any Heart, Bowie or Rush in there…

    • Only Billboard number ones from 1977 – that would be the reason! Well done 🙂

      • Must’ve been a bad year for music then…

16. 9/10. Guess those lyrics are still in my head. Can even sing the songs after all these years

    • me too – amazing, isn’t it! Well done 🙂

17. I’m sorry Norman. I can not participate in this test.

    • I am sorry, Elenka! I know that the translator cannot translate pictures of text 🙁

18. Super quiz Norman…6/10

    • Thank you, lado! Happy you enjoyed ☺

      • Thank you … Sadly, I had to answer several songs – this is the music of my youth … then I was still young … greetings

        • 😀 Me too! But ‘young at heart’ is more important than the number of years we pile up!

          • Bravo Norman … I totally agree with you … l’ll be

19. 9/10. Tripped up on one I should have got – Leo Sayer’s song in Question 5. Just didnt register. Great nostalgic fun!!!

    • It’s hard for these lyrics to register sometimes, when it’s been a few decades! You did well ☺

20. Got 8, missed the two I never listened to (artists). Happy with that!

    • That’s good enough! Thanks for taking the quiz, Doc 🙂

21. Hahayyy… Only Da Doo Ron Ron by Shaun Cassidy punched my nose!

    • You mean that was the one you got wrong? That was the easiest of all (if you knew it!)

      • Aye Sir! Precisely because I am not close to his music, Shaun angry and punching my nose!

22. 10/10 that was great

    • More than great. That’s … incredible!

23. 7/10 I was born in 1998 but I love old music ??

    • A lot of people born in the 90s say that 🙂 (My daughter included!)

24. This quiz was a fun throwback. I got 5/10 I think I did pretty good. I recognized several I just couldn’t figure out the title

    • Haha yeah, I have problem too/ I always mix up title! You did good 🙂

    • What’s your favorite songs here?

      • Hotel California. This song reminds me of my dad. I miss him so much

        • haha that song reminds me of sleeping on a beach in Israel, where they used to play it at 5:30 every morning 🙂

        • An updated cover … these guys had an album called Punk in Drublic

          • Great! I love ska and this version really transforms 🙂 Oh and I love spoonerisms too!

25. Not bad, 6/10

    • Not bad! Thanks for taking the quiz 🙂

    • I remember you in rabadaba

      • Really? I left Rabadaba since they changed their reward system. What was your username there?

        • Hey Nela. I’m so happy to see you here. Are you still using Baagloo?

          • I still have an account there but not very active at the moment. and you?

26. 7 out of 10 – that was great fun. More like this please!

    • You’re amazing, knowing the lyrics of these songs so may years before you were born!

      • It really is the best music!

27. 9 of 10 — the Bee Gees were my downfall. Does this mean that I rock or that I am older than dirt? Inquiring minds want to know …

    • Hey, dirt rocks too! The Bee Gees – not my favouritest from the period, but I tried to be broadly representative 🙂 You did well, Howard. I wonder will anyone outdo you!

      • Dirt was once rocks? This was actually a bit hard because at the moment I was digging through the blues collection at the University audio visual department. I’m surprised there are no 10’s yet. Cheers!

        • Before they fell apart 😉 I got a few 10’s where I shared this on Facebook – different crowd I guess.

    • You beat me!

      • Could be partially luck but also the age thing I hate thinking about too much. Cheers.
