I got all 10.  
But then, I’m an old fart who doesn’t listen to much except for classic rock.  
BTW, The Beastie Boys? Every purist knows that classic rock ends c. 1982–before they came along.

Heavy Metal hair bands are not part of classic rock and never will be. And the Beastie Boys?

I got seven out of seven. Of the questions that counted. 😃

Damn! I can’t believe I missed the Springsteen question. Whatever crappy state song they got now needs to be replaced pronto.

Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist  
I want to die with you Wendy on the street tonight  
In an everlasting kiss… huuuh”

Cool: #10 was tough, if you are a Grad of the Early 80’s in NJ you tend to think of Born to Run as the state song, But alas it is not.

Yeah, it sounded familiar to me, too, but I thought it was a myth. Oh, well.

Ummm, which bands were hair bands? Iron Maiden have been around since 77 or so, and Priest have been around even longer, and neither are considered Hair Metal.

I got 10/10, though I had to make a guess on one or two.
