¡fantástico!

Quiz Rules/Format
(Same as last year, 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!

500. Don’t play Russian Roulette kids.
A fine score!
Daaaaaaaaa bullsssssss. What that your fifth heart attack this week? Yes man. 500 for me.
Love that era of SNL – and I’m a fan of 500s too!
500
Nice work Zack!
500.
Well played Amrita!
500. Love that first LP. Recently dug deep for a Mo Fi copy!
I’ve heard of Low Fi – I like that new-to-me, Mo-Fi!
400. Where are all the clues involving darts and cricket?
Hopefully arriving soon – The year is still young!
100
Nice work!
500 for me!!
Nicely done!
500 for me. That’s the Sean Connery way!
Exemplary work HMO!
Wow 500! I’m on fire!
To paraphrase Bruce Springsteen, Oh-oh-oh Sarca’s on fire!
500. I like the word toponym.
Well played D – and mutual I’m sure!
I don’t live in the US so the sports/place references went over my head. 300 points this time
But regardless of geography, you know your early 2000s musicals, nice work Chris!
wow wow cha cha… wow wow cha cha… More than a feeeellling… Ha ha! Just kidding! 500! My parents had all of their albums. Motorboat to Mars! Look it up!
Well played Kevin – and Motorboat to Mars, what an impractical way to get to our closest planet!
I knew it at 500 but confirmed it at 400… I leave it up to you to decide my points!
If it’s the toponym you had in mind at 500, that’s a 500 in my books!
Deal!
It’s 300 for me!
Nice work J – hope the Born to Run spin went well this morning!
It did indeed, Geoff. Even got my happy feet going and a wee singalong. JJ proclaiming “this is a good record, daddy”.
500 each for me and Mika. In both cases we made the right guess out of the two obvious possibilities.
Nice work to you both on guessing correctly in the 50/50!
400!
Well played!
I can say 500 with authority
Haha – I got the wordplay on the 2nd read-through!
400 here! I was guessing Kansas at 500 haha. Sad I missed last week!
If Kansas had named their first album after the state’s public transportation providers, I suppose they’d qualify too!
Yea I clearly didn’t know that part of the question!
400 for me this week!
Well played William!
500. One of very few double debut albums. Can you name others?
I cannot – but that’s ambitious to open a career with a double. And 500’s a bold score too!
Zappa’s Freak Out was a double. I think the first 5 Chicago were all doubles!
The first 3 and 4 of the first 6. No wonder they started churning out so much crap later on but the first 4 albums are pretty terrific.
500 for me and I think they’re awful!
Nice work Joe – and when I get to the album, I’ll see if I agree with your assessment!
500 for this week
Well played!
