I LOVE this quiz! I think it would be a little better if you allowed answers like "Dionne Warwick" without having to name all of the singers, "Aerosmith" rather than Aerosmith and RUN DMC," because those of us who know these answers are getting old enough to forget the exact details!

I agree with you entirely. Check it again. I thought I'd fixed it so that it'll accept either Aerosmith or Run DMC - same with Dionne Warwick. (I usually have it accept either answer if the artist is a duet, trio, etc.) I also fixed Mike and the Mechanics, replacing the "+" sign with an "and." I'm a bit rusty at creating these quizzes. It's a learning process for me.

Thanks for the compliment.

(PS: I'm going to try to create more pop hit quizzes for each year as time allows. Might even try to do the same for country music, too.)
