   1. Journey
   2. Robert Palmer
   3. Foreigner
   4. The Bangles
   5. REO Speedwagon
   6. The J Geils Band
   7. Men At Work

   And if I get any of these right blame it on too much MTV back in the days when they actually showed videos non-stop.

   The only one I know is Robert Palmer (#2). Loved him in the 70s, not so much when he went disco

   Awww man, I had everyone but 6&7! Good job Michelle!

   Now everyone should name a song by each- off the top of their heads huh?

   I was really sad when Robert Palmer died, he was still very young and I just loved his music.

   I knew 2, 4, and 7. With all the MTV I watched in my youth, I’m disappointed in myself.

    My husband is a HUGE Led Zeppelin fan. That is my guess for #3. It’s the huge, curly blond hair of Robert Plant that was my clue :p

    Darn it! I was too late–I knew all of them, too.

    Got to see J. Geils in a tiny Cambridge bar ’cause my dad was the arts reporter for the Boston Globe.

    And I HATE Steve Perry’s voice.
