I'm 36, and I remember them all very clearly. The only one I would have struggled with was #14, because it's a bit obscure and mainly from a movie soundtrack. But like I said, I just happened to have watched both Bill & Ted movies with my kids over the weekend, so it was fresh in my brain. Without that, I would have missed that one for sure. Otherwise, the rest of these weren't all that hard for someone whose prime music listening time growing up was in the 80s.
I knew someone would say I cheated though. LOL. Especially with #14. That one IS pretty obscure. Sadly though, a lot of these I still listen to regularly. It's sad, I know. Also, I'm stealing this quiz for work. Loved it.
