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!

For:

500 points………………..Though this English &/or Australian (depending on birthplace/place where they were first successful) pop group has 2 albums on the 1001 list, their most popular recording was deemed ineligible for inclusion as it was a part of a movie soundtrack also featuring other artists.

400 points………………..As Wayne Campbell observed in Wayne’s World, “I mean, Led Zeppelin didn’t write tunes that everyone liked. They left that to __________________”

300 points…………………One of their songs is used to teach people the appropriate pace for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR); lyrically, it’s also a much more appropriate choice for that usage than Queen’s similarly-paced Another One Bites The Dust

Thanks for playing!

Verbalize the Positive

I wouldn’t have thought this group would be the textbook definition of ‘my cuppa’ – but the pair of albums on the 1001 list have been a pleasant surprise!
