From the Kings and Queens of Pop to Rock Legends

The 1980s turned talented artists into global icons. Challenge yourself with questions about Michael Jackson’s record-breaking Thriller, the trailblazing career of Madonna, and the experimental genius of Prince. Revisit the "Big Three" of 80s rock with U2, Bruce Springsteen, and The Police, or the high-energy anthems of Bon Jovi and Guns N' Roses.

For fans of the British scene, we have deep dives into the Second British Invasion led by Duran Duran, Culture Club, and Eurythmics, as well as the brooding sounds of The Cure and Depeche Mode that defined the alternative 80s.

The Age of the Music Video and the Walkman

Being an 80s expert is about more than just the radio; it’s about the visuals and the technology. Our quizzes explore:

  • The MTV Revolution: How music videos became a prerequisite for stardom and changed how we consumed art.
  • The Rise of Hip-Hop: Tracking the breakthrough success of Run-D.M.C., Public Enemy, and the Beastie Boys.
  • Signature 80s Gear: From the digital punch of the Yamaha DX7 synthesizer to the portability of the Sony Walkman.
