O/T Mega Poptastic Pop Quiz (25)
Looks like a slow day on MM so here's something to keep the brain ticking. Again, all songs are from the same year and were 'hits' in the UK. Once you figure out the year you'll know if it's in your wheelhouse and bear the year in mind when considering your answers. Don't go revealing the year and making it easy for the others.
Britain was simultaneously in the grips of both a recession and IRA terrorism. Denis Law was famously backheeling he old pals at Manchester United out of Division 1 and Brian Clough was enjoying a 44 day trip to Leeds. A day out in Woolwich would have allowed you to sample the fine cuisine of McDonalds in Britain for the first time. Amongst many bombings and other disasters during the year, tragic events at Flixborough that killed 28 were close to home for everyone living in South Yorkshire.
As usual - song title and artists needed and limit 5 entries per poster before you need to take a 24 hour break to give others a chance and NO GOOGLING PLEASE. Pull the answers from the depths of your brain. There are some real easy ones in there and some that will challenge the best memories on the planet.
