Our regular team of David, Ian and I were up to full strength at last night's Retro Bar Pop Quiz with Darren joining us again. We were all squeezed into a corner at the end of the bar and felt optimistic as the question setters were known for their heavy reliance on 70s/80s pop. We were sadly mistaken though. Mistaken to be optimistic that is. We got a measly 13½ out of a possible 20 points. Here are the questions.

01. Name two artists that had hits with the title The Look of Love.
02. Name two artists that had hits with the title Money.
03. Name two artists that had hits with the title Things Can Only Get Better.
04. Name two artists that had hits with the title Why?
