    22--not bad when you consider that the 80's was most definitely NOT my decade, music-wise. Geraint, I pulled the Thompson Twins right outta my ***. I remembered it was two guys and a girl....

    29 out of 30 and not at all ashamed to admit I did not know the names to the members of Banarama. In fact, I think I'm proud of it.

    Even more testimony to how little an impression The 'rama have made on me, it's however many hours now since I first posted that I took the quiz and I cannot remember a single one of their names. My memory being what it is, normally I'd remember whether I wanted to or not, right now, I'm coming up blank on their names. They did "Cruel Summer," that I remember, though I wish I didn't.
