Sparky's Grand Christmas Music Quiz.

Here it finally is. After many hours of research and much deliberation & deciding which songs to include, then choosing suitable lyrics I present to you the Accyweb 80's lyrics quiz.

I have tried not to let my own musical tastes and influences unbalance the song selection.

Each artist only appears once, in any one form; so that means there cannot be 10 songs from The Clash, for example.

The Rule.

I am only impossing one rule, and I hope everyone adhears to it.

You are requested to only give one answer in a post, and when you have posted you cannot post again until someone else has done so.

This tries to ensure that everyone gets a chance and ensures that the card-carrying members of Generation X don't clean up.

Each answer must include the lyric number, the song title and the artist who sang the song.
