Back Catalogue Barrage
An easy music quiz where you just have to name one song by each of the bands listed! You're just not allowed to answer with their most popular song, but that shouldn't be a problem, should it?

Originally I planned this as a Sporcle quiz, but quickly realized the number of possible answers wouldn't fit, so I ended up making this as a small HTML/JS project instead. It's also available on GitHub - issues/PR are very welcome in case there are missing/wrong answers.

hilariously, I tried the quiz, and being a fan of industrial/goth, I knew none of the answers, but the moment that my eyes fell on: A Flock of Seagulls, I Ran (So Far Away), that song started playing on my stereo - it's in the playlist my partner has made. such a weird coincidence!
it's a really fun quiz idea though and I bet people who haven't been hiding under a (black clad) rock like myself will have fun playing it.

Hah, I got 6. It helps to grow up in Canada where there were lots of Men without Hats songs on the radio over the years. Sideways was the one that came to mind most easily for me.

My initial thought was "Ooh sounds fun, but how hard can it really be!"

I got 7 and was thus properly chastened and it was really fun!
