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
As for my contribution to the rock debate, I’d say replace OR with AND, problem solved!
400. Never knew about Mick or Dick.
I only knew about 1 of the 2 before this week!
500.
Well done Danica!
500. I don’t know if KR is the lead guitarist – certainly wasn’t when Mick was in the band.
Good point – I’m not actually sure if that’s his job description now that you mention it!
500 and no moss gathered here.
None at all – nice work Neil!
400. I’ve never heard of Dick Taylor.
I hadn’t either until I was making up the quiz – was surprised to see they’d had such similar band member names (but not at the same time)!
500. I agree with John. While they’re thoroughly enjoyable and important, they’re not in the same class as John Paul George and Ringo.
And I would agree with you too Amrita – nice work!
300
Well played Jimmy!
300 for me.
Nice work!
500 luckily – I wouldn’t have got it from any of the other clues.
I’m pleased you got it with the first clue then Kid Slender!
500 smackers for this fellow! Exile on Deke Street!
Haha – one of my favourite double LPs, the Deke street remix!
And at 500 points, no sympathy for the Deke this week 😀
HAHAHA…i’m on roll the last couple of weeks!
I shall collect 500 this week, Geoff.
No tears going by about that score this week J!
300
Nicely done Rachelle!
I’m not taking the Mick, I got 500 this week.
I trust you can in fact get some satisfaction with that score HMO!
500 so fast it oughta be 1000.
That doesn’t surprise me in the least Aaron – well played!
No moss gathering on this one!
500. What a pretty thing.
It appears time (or at least the first clue) was on your side today, Bruce!
500, though I wasn’t real confident about it
Still counts in my books James, nice work!
Quickest 500 I’ve gotten yet! Yay! Grew up w them, were my favourite band when I was 12 or so, still love ’em…
Well done on the efficient 500 tangerinetrees99!
500 points! There’s an argument that the Mick Taylor years were their best.
I would support such an argument – and nice work Geoff!
500! Been a while since I’ve gotten one of those!
Exemplary score Kevin!
300 this round!
Nicely done Sarca!
100. I thought that mick Taylor was no relation to the Mick Taylor I knew about and that threw me right off. Oops!
You got there at the end though, good work!
500 for me
Well played Joe!
Busy yesterday so a day late. 300 points
Not to worry Chris – I think it was actually the guitarist of this band that coined the phrase, the later the greater!
500 for the week
Well played!
300! Yeah, unique moves
Nobody moves (still in the present tense, impressively) quite like him!
