QUIZ 48

CLASSIC ALBUMS #3: THE EIGHTIES

The same routine as before. You get three tracks from an album – these are all from the eighties – and think of the name of the album and the name of the artist who recorded it.

Option, again: if you are reading the quizzes out loud, try giving the quizzers two tracks — if they can identify the album from these, they get both points. If they need the third track, which is usually the charm (the big single or stand-out track), then they just get one. You know the drill.
