I got to 65 without even thinking. Ended up at 81.
 
I got to 77 the first time through without pausing, but only picked up four more. I have 6:30 left, but I'm pretty sure I'm tapped out. I can sing about 10 more, but can't remember for the life of me who sang them. :D
 
Got 91. Some of those songs I just could not remember.
 
Got to 95 with 7 minutes left. Apparently I can't spell Gary Neuman or Salt N Pepa correctly. (argh! Numan!)

A somewhat disappointing 90.

Got all the top 50. Only two I really kick myself for missing were 'You Spin Me Round' and 'Don't You Want Me'.
 
Got 85 or 86 on the 80's game, 97 on the 90's one. How can I remember Edwin McCain and the New ****ing Radicals but blank on the chick who sang the Dawson's Creek song?

Most embarrassing 80's miss: REO Speedwagon
 
92. Wish I could've heard a few of the ones I missed. :-\ Probably would've hit 96 or 97.
 
I got 88, much like IJAG, I know the words to probably 10 of the other 12 but have no clue who sang them.
 
I got 88. Got bogged down in the morass of REO Speedwagon and similar bands, then old-age dumped some gimmes like Human League and The Fixx.
 
Oh, and the fact that Mr Roboto made this list made me physically wretch.

In fact, it shouldn't make any song list other than Top 10 Most Ill Conceived, Worst Pieces Feces of Musical Crapola Ever Foisted Upon the American Public.

And Top 10 is being charitable.
 
Yeah, I was shocked by some of the stuff I saw on that list.

Edit: And ashamed I knew most of the artists.

100 with 6:08 to spare.

It took me a while to figure out who sang "Ain't Nobody".

Me, too. About five and change to spare ...
 
81. Only one I'm truly pissed about is Loverboy. Thought of every other similar band (Journey, REO Speedwagon, Foreigner) but couldn't pull them out of my ass.
 
I got 85 but had to look up how to spell Aerosmith (kept transposing the r and o) and Salt n Pepa. Can't believe I forgot Men at Work and completely blanked on Gary Numan's name. There were a few others I could sing, but couldn't remember who sang them.
