The 80's trivia Quiz

This is a small quiz for those who enjoy the 80's as much as I do. Hopefully this quiz will bring back good memories from a time where the music was unique, fresh, talented and not just recycled crap. The movies were worth watching and not mostly computer generated. And Finally, the TV was still ruled by sitcoms and not Reality. Have fun!

Do you know as much about the 80's decade as much as I do? Take my little quiz and see if Obi-Wan has taught YOU well!... or if you just want to waste 10 minutes of your life doing nothing productive. Give it a try... it's not difficult.
