I'm going to have to start paying closer attention to the points given for each question. Although 5 pts were given if we could name the 1970 hit by Alive and Kicking (for question 6), we weren't asked to name the song in the question itself.

Also, I was wondering what your criteria was for the Mr. Mister question (#8). Although "Broken Wings" was still on the charts in 1986, it peaked in 1985. Based on chart performance, the answer for question 8 would be "Kyrie" (which hit #1 in March 1986) and "Is It Love" (which hit the top 10 later that year). I had forgotten all about "Kyrie" until I saw Beckeye's answers.

By the way, #5 was a damn good question. Christmas probably would have rolled around before I came up with Climax/Klymaxx. See you next Monday.

hey malc,

yeah, you're right about #6; should have been more specific so give yourself credit for that one.

my source for the Mr. Mister question is the foloowing web site:

glad you liked #5 - believe me, that question didn't just pop into my head...
