Can You Guess The '80s' Hit?
 
I thought it might be fun to post for other forum members. I got 84% correct (42/50) and never heard of two of the music artists but know the songs. I put in bold what I missed. How did anyone else do who took the challenge without taking a peak? Of the ones I missed it was because the songs were not mainstream, but leaned into Heavy Metal or Rap. I know of Metallica because of Enter: The Sandman, but could only know one other song they did The Unforgiven. Same with Run D.M.C. taking an Aerosmith song and creating Rap. The others I have no clue about. This is a mixed bag of goodies that is enjoyable. It reminds me of the React channel on Youtube that viewers can play along with.
