Unfortunately this IS the end!!! I hope you enjoyed the challenge!!! How did you do?:

If you got all 156 right - You've been hanging around me too long.
106 - 155 - Very impressive, 70's "guru" -- you have disco balls and lava lamps in your bedroom.
105 - 154 - Nice job -- you own "Saturday Night Fever" and you are a 70's "guru-in-training".
55 - 104 - OK, but you spent most of your 70's free time watching "Brady Bunch" episodes instead of listening to AM radio!!!
10 - 54 - You need to get rid of all those Pearl Jam CD's!!!
0 - 9 - Where the heck you been?

Arrrggghhh!! Now I'm going to be agonizing over the songs I recognize and just can't place the artists!!!

Nope - #2 is She's Gone - Haulin' Oats
#62 - Baby Come Back - Player

#2 took awhile - I haven't heard that song is probably 5 years.

I've got a similar quiz in the works to cover the eighties (You pup, you!) but it takes a long time to do the research and get it up....e-r-r-r...so to speak. Stay tuned. Then I might just try one from the 60's...now that was music, man!

[MWC]

Thanks for the quiz and corrections. About an hour after posting that, I was driving down the road, singing the lyrics in my head ... and realized my error. Shoot! But at least I did keep myself from turning around and editing the post right then and there -- evidence of some sense of priorities, haha!
Man, that's a lot of genres in ten little years.

Unfortunately this IS the end!!! I hope you enjoyed the challenge!!! How did you do?:

If you got all 156 right - You've been hanging around me too long.
106 - 155 - Very impressive, 70's "guru" -- you have disco balls and lava lamps in your bedroom.
105 - 154 - Nice job -- you own "Saturday Night Fever" and you are a 70's "guru-in-training".
55 - 104 - OK, but you spent most of your 70's free time watching "Brady Bunch" episodes instead of listening to AM radio!!!
10 - 54 - You need to get rid of all those Pearl Jam CD's!!!
0 - 9 - Where the heck you been?

Thank you for finally listing the answers!!! I've been driving my husband and daughter crazy trying to remeber these!

Thanks Bumper!!!! Your latest post just had me flashing back to 73 or 74 (doing the then-obligatory 1/2 way through university overseas backpacking trip) when I was driving through the Sahara Desert in northern Sudan at night by the light of the yellow head lamps of a Land Rover I was delivering to Nairobi (from Cairo) listening to "A Horse With no Name" on Voice of America short wave radio. The stars were so bright.............

Thanks again!!
