Ready for Quiz #21?
I’m not sure how many will know this group, but hopefully many points can still be distributed regardless!
.
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!

Thanks for playing!

Verbalize the Positive
I haven’t been this excited about an album in a long time.
It’s still too early to say of course, but their debut album may be a serious contender for favourite new-to-me album from the 1001 list!

Nice work Amrita!
500. Big fan of Sascha!
As am I – nice work Mike!

No goose egg this week Deke!

Well played Aaron! And I hadn’t heard them before – but I’m so excited about the one that made the list!
Excellent. Looking forward to your thoughts!
Meh. 200. Apparently, I don’t watch enough Cohen movies…
But you know your political vocabulary!
500 gratefully.
Nice work!
200
Not too shabby Zack!
500 points for me Geoff!
Perfecto!
500. You have to hand it to American punk – they had all the best stage names.
Stellar work Kid Slender – that’s a couple 500s in a row!
100. A good guess but I don’t remember them at all.
A good guess indeed!
200 for me this week. 😒
I’d still give a smile emoticon for 200 points!
500 for me!
Excellent work tangerinetrees99!
A big 500 for me, but I don’t rate any of their LPs!
That’s surprising Joe (not the 500, the not rating) – I think the lego guys would look great on the cover of Go Girl Crazy!
200 again this week. Never heard of them.
Pretty good score for not being familiar with them!
200. I’m surprised I never heard of them, I love 70’s punk.
There’s a real sense of humour on their debut I’m a big fan so far!
200 for my limited punk rock knowledge.
Not too shabby considering!
