Re: Decades: Bandstand - Track 3 - The 1980s
I hate to quibble over one possible missed point, but given the extremely small margin of error AND the upcoming disaster that is likely for me entering the '00's portion of the game...
Unless I'm not seeing something (certainly a possibility), the only blemish on my answers was missing 1 of the Zappa titles, which were two points each..where did I lose the other point?
Thanks. The games have been fun so far. Now, to see about the 00's.
Like I said, so far...

You're total has been corrected on the main scoreboard.
And keep quibbling!
PS My faux Zappa titles were pretty good!
