Ready for Quiz #11?
Let’s go!

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. I’m best at the 1970s, even though I only lived through the last few months.
Also, packaged macaroni and cheese isn’t the only unnaturally orange thing in the USA….
I’m afraid that’s also true!
Only 100 this week. I’ve never listened to these guys.
Still on the board Zack!
Well played sir – and it has the most albums of any decade on the 1001 list, so that knowledge will likely continue to come in handy this year!
500. Superfantastische!
Sehr gut Kid Slender!
Ah! I needed that second clue, but it’s 400 for me!
Solid work J, or fantastisch!
500! Though it took a little racking of the ol brain
And the brain racking delivered, nice work Milo!
500. Possibly my quickest ever answer, as I think you predicted, you clever man.
My thanks Bruce!
I gather they have an album named minimum-maximum & I had a feeling your inevitable 500 score would fit that description today (due to your knowledge of the group & the limited availability of bonus points!)
Min-Max is pretty good. It is a film of their mid-naughties tour (which I saw in Melbourne). But I’m not sure it makes die Roboten 21st C artists!
500! This week, yeah yeah!!
Yeah yeah William!
What is my score if I guessed it at 500 but confirmed it at 400?
If it’s the only name you had at 500, that’s a 500 in my books!
400 and thats from reading Creem Magazine back in hIgh School when I should have been doing homework !
The reading paid off today Deke!
Ha yes it did. Creem I would buy just to read about other acts as they seemed to feature all kinds of music not just straight Metal like Circus/Hit Parader etc….
I wouldn’t buy these acts stuff but i would read em…
First time I ever read about bands like this one and Devo etc…
Good mag for its time
When I hear Circus/Hit Parader, I inevitably think of Get in the Ring, Axl wasn’t quite as fond of reading those ones!
HA….no he wasn’t. Brent Jensen said it best in book No Sleep….that those mags were just handlers for the record companies …
Kerrang from England was the best mag..but was hard to get..
Creem also did the occasional issue called Creem Metal which was pretty decent as well..
400 for me.
Well played!
300
Nicely done!
100
Guessed at 500, confirmed at 400…not sure what that means for a score!
That is fünfhundert in my books Sarca, well done!
I’ll take a 300 for today.
Nice work D!
die Rückkehr zu 500
My German is a bit rusty (and I smiled when I read the google translate) – wunderbar Neil!
500 this week. I’ve loved what I’ve heard from them so far
Well played Chris – I haven’t ventured too far in their catalogue yet, sounds promising!
I love their 1981 album but the 70s stuff is supposed to be great too
400, I’m embarrassed to say!
No need to blush about a score that strong, Joe!
I’m a massive enormo fan of them and I let them down Geoff! I LET THEM DOWN!!
I solemnly swear not to tell them Joe – I don’t think they spend too much time ’round this part of Computer World!
I have brought shame on my family name.
500 for me!
Exemplary score HMO!
0.0 That isn’t a look of surprise. That is my score.
A crisp high 5 it is Kevin – I didn’t remember seeing any by these guys in the recent music pick ups videos!
lol, yeah. I’ve never heard of them.
500. I didn’t even read the clues that followed. “Now’s the time on Sprockets when we dance!”
And after we dance with Deiter, 500 points it is!
as is becoming the norm, 500 for Mika, 400 for me
And as per usual, a fine household score!
Am I too late in answering? 500, obviously. I’ve been away at a conference with people from the country this band’s from, defending their music to them, and using the word for motorway to help pronounce an Indian name!
BTW, didn’t they win a Grammy this year?
You’re right on time Amrita, well answered!
500!
Nice work tangerinetrees99!
500 because that song is (I think) the only song I know by them!
For the purposes of this quiz, it was the right song to know!
I’ll take 300 for the week.
Nice work!
