Music of the 80 blew chunks

[BigSkyFreeper]

I scored 85% on the quiz. I think I got the incorrect year for Prince's song 1999, because I could not recall the exact year it came out.

[SoftballMominVA]

80's music? Over-dubbed, over-synthesized, over-blown - great videos

[An American in Turkiye]

55%, but some of the questions were loaded. They could have asked much better questions, IMHO.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

You Scored 65% Correct

You are a solid child of the 80s
You'd never confuse Tiffany from Debbie
And while you may not know Prince's first #1 hit
You know every word to Little Red Corvette

The Power Of Influence

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: Matthew 5:1-16

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? —Matthew 5:13

On February 9, 1964, the Beatles appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and captivated the youth of America. After hearing their music and seeing their "look," I did what millions of young American boys did—I begged my parents to let me grow my hair. Then, along with my best friend Tommy, I started a garage band. The Beatles’ performance had such an impact on us that we intentionally tried to be like them. It was a significant introduction to the power of influence.

Years later, the power of influence came to mean something far more significant to me as I began my journey as a follower of Christ. I had the desire to live under the influence of Christ, but I also wanted to be an influencer of others by pointing them to the Savior.

In part, this is what Jesus was challenging us to understand in Matthew 5:13-16. Salt and light are influential factors in a dark and corrupting world, and Christ, who is the Light of the world, calls us to be lights of influence as well. The Master who modeled perfect purity calls us to be salt that adds flavor and prevents corruption.

May we not only be influenced by Christ but also be influencers for Christ in a needy world.

Lord, let me be a shining light
In all I say and do,
That Your great love displayed in me
May lead someone to You. —Sper

As the "salt of the earth," Christians will make others thirsty for the "Water of Life."

Bible in One Year:   Leviticus 1-3; Matthew 24:1-28

Pass....
(35%...I guess I wasn't listening to much music in the 80s!)

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Evening Mrs. N :)
I didn't score as well as I thought I would.

Thanks for the thread! How are you tonight?
Hugs!

[sphinx]

5 percent. I didn't answer any question where I hadn't heard of any of the songs or artists. So I answered two and got one right. This reconfirms my recollection of the 80's, which is that there was nothing worth listening to.

[ExpatGator]

I scored a miserable 40%. Probably because I was still listening to Fear, The Clash, The Pistols, and the Ramones, etc.

I was on ships in the Navy for 8 of the 10 years of the 80's. Most of my fellow Squids thought my musical tastes were somewhat bent. They were, and still are. ;)
