Subject: The British 80s - Volume 1 <Answers Revealed>
Written By: whistledog on 05/17/07 at 3:18 am
Using 3 different charts that measured hit singles in Canada, I have taken the highest position between them to bring you 45 Top 40 hits in Canada based on ...

All UK Artists! and to make this a little easier, you may recognize a few of these from quizzes of the past (consider it a greatest hits of the greatest hits lol). Also, to add a small challenge, the last 5 songs (41-45) are worth 2 points each as they may not be too recognizable due to no chart action in the US or the UK
I hope you enjoy this quiz! ☻

#35 Small Town Boy - Communards
I just now noticed you said Communards instead of Bronski Beat, and I marked you correct. You still get full points because a) I messed up and b) It's still Jimmy Somerville, so close enough ;)

Ha I always muddle those two up. Too drunk at the night club to take much notice at the time, lack of brain cells now as a consequence!

I often get them confused as well. Jimmy Somerville has that voice that is always recognizable, whether it's Bronski Beat, Communards, his solo career or singing back-up on FYC's 'Suspicious Minds' lol

#25 song is correct, but not that artist, but in this quiz, that's close enough. It's Mike Oldfield (female voice by Maggie Reilly)
You got them all correct! :)
#20...Destroyer....The Kinks?
#33...Your Love....The Outfield?
both those are correct :)

Based on your clues, I'd say that #29 has to be something by Johnny Hates Jazz...and #45 is likely a Nick Lowe tune... :)

#42 was bugging me. I recognised it but couldn't work out who it was by - probably because I haven't heard any Lords of the New Church since the mid 80s
