Quiz Rules/Format
(feel free to skip to the quiz if you know the rules already)
Your Task: Name the mystery Artist, ideally with as few clues as possible.
Correctly guess the artist on the first clue? 500 points.
After scrolling down to the second clue? 400 points.
Still don’t know after the fifth clue? 0 points, but a crisp high-five for participating.
I’ll use google translate to put the correct answer at the bottom in Arabic (if you read Arabic, that’s fantastic, but no cheating by reading ahead!) and you can translate it back to the language of your choice to confirm your answer.
In the comments, please enter your POINTS earned (not the artist name) and I’ll keep track of the running totals in a spreadsheet.
In addition to eternal bragging rights, the winner at the end of the year may even get something as prestigious as a digital certificate.
Here goes!

Guessed it at 400, confirmed at 200…
400 it is, well guessed!
400.
Well done Amrita!
500. Too easy.
Nice work Zack – his band name’s not quite as memorable as Dr. Teeth’s, but they could still play!
Back in the game 500,
Well done Neil!
500. Song lyrics make it easier.
Well done Aphoristical – and I find my favourite lyrics in a song aren’t necessarily the official lyrics, but the brief spoken segues (like this one) into/out of guitar solos!
500. 🙂
Splendid work Danica!
That line is one of my favorites!
400
Well played Kid Slender!
500! ✌
Now that’s an emoji-worthy score, nicely done Sarca!
And after my attempt at a theme-logo last week, I have even more admiration & respect for your graphic design skills 🙂
Being attuned to death netted 400 this week.
Well done Bruce – and thank you for sharing that wonderful photo yesterday, sending positive energy your way
Cheers mate.
500 for me too! Think you might have made that a wee bit too easy.
Nicely done!
Too easy perhaps, or at least too easy for those who have compiled the definitive compilation for this artist! 😀
Haha I’d forgot all about that! Violence and ‘Fro!
400 for me.
A fine score, nice work!
500. At f’ckin last.
Well worth the wait, nicely done Ovidiu!
500. Looking forward to this week.
I had a feeling you’d hit 500 this week – well done Mike!
I think you sir. The wind must have cried Mikey.
Hey Mike, where you goin’ with those 500 points in your hand?!
I’ll take for the first time ever 500!
hallejuah!
500 points are on their way to Thunder Bay!
..and I would win 500 points…..da da da da….
Well played Bop!
500 up! Haha that one was easy, no pee test required Deke!
And Deke hit 500 this week too – I assume it was a pee-test-legitimate 500 score Deke?!
oh shit! Give me a day or two to fill the cup please!
A lowly 200 this time around!
But I’m pleased the Wayne’s World reference was where you got it!
300 for me! Adult beginner guitar lessons, while not actually causing one to become good at guitar playing, do serve a purpose after all, and it is all trivia based.
Lesson expenses = justified with good quiz score!
Even if I was in haze, purple or otherwise, this would have been an easy 500 for me. Looking forward to reading some posts on this artists, Geoff.
I should also note that I got 300 on the Pink Floyd post, which is embarrassing because they’re my second favorite artist.
After a 300 week, a 500 represents a (slight) return to form!
If I remember correctly, Mr. Bonham & friends are the #1 favourite artist?
Well played, voodoo chile. Yep, Zeppelin remains #1 for me after 38 years.
500! Move over, Rover
And let jofrommontreal take over, nicely done!
hehe alright!
500 for me – my parents would have disowned me if I’d got any less.
Good news, there will be no disowning!
400. I should have been more confident at 500!
400’s a fine score too!
500 for the week
Nicely done!
