Sensational!

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! Only really know the big, inescapable hit though.
That was enough knowledge for the perfect score today, nice work!
500, its an unmistakable sound they make.
’tis – and I suppose now we could attempt to make that sound by purchasing a rockman amplifier!
0.This is embarrassing! I looked up Tom Scholz. I tend to skip whenever their big hit comes along, which is why I know nothing.
Not to worry Amrita – the honesty is appreciated & I think you’ll bounce right back next week!
500
Well done!
500 – yay!
Stellar work Joe!
300. They had a hit? People wanted to emulate their sound? This world scares me sometimes.
300’s far from a scary score at least!
I should give that album a listen soon. 300 points
It’s a good debut!
Great Debut!
Recently, knowing artist names has paid dividends. And that is more than a fibbing.
500.
Well played Bruce – both the score & words!
200 yet again!
Consistency is good!
If only that consistency scored a little higher haha!!
So true, a 500 consistency streak wouldn’t be the worst thing!
200!
You know your Massachusetts sports teams Milo!
Got 500 so now I can get my peace of mind.
Nice work identifying this Rock & Roll Band HMO!
I liked the use of the photo in this one Geoff!
That vinyl copy looks like it has been played more than ‘500’ times as well!
I think the price tag on it was $1.99 – so I’m even more pleased to hear you earned much more than 199 points, well played Deke!
Wow! Now thats the deal of the century on that album!
I paid I think $10 on my. used copy and my sisters boyfriend paid $30 sealed at Sunrise for his….
I had the good fortune of getting it about 15 years ago – when stores were practically giving vinyl away. Now I think finding it for $10 used would be as cheap as you’d be able to find it!
Great call Geoff…you were on the cutting edge of scooping vinyl when it wasn’t the rage! Good stuff!
My thanks Deke – there’s a great sloan tune, right or wrong, with the line ’10 years ahead of time, or about 1 year behind’ – I think it’s more likely I was behind the times than being ahead of them!
I’m thinking ahead of the times in your case ..
I had a great weekend with a few friends from high school – but it’s clear I’m behind the times Deke. In their cars, they had voice activated/hands-free requests to pick the next song/album on the stereo. In my car, I’m still manually changing the CDs, no voice assistance!
too many bells and whistles….
you have more street cred doing it old school! (no pun intended)
haha
500. I have a knack for remembering names like that.
The memory worked out nicely today!
500 for me. Love these guys.
Excellent work!
I’ll take 200 today.
Well played D – the Stephens all earned 200!
300 each for Mika and me. Someone explain that meme to me
Well done Mika & James!
(in the band’s city namesake, the local accent makes “khakis” sound like “car keys”)
I’ll take 500 of your finest points, please!
A fine 500 are on their way J, exemplary work!
Yas!!
200. I don’t know these guys at all.
I’m pleased you knew enough about Massachusetts to get the 200!
500! But, I guessed from your photo that showed up first in the reader (instead of the quiz logo).
Nice work Sarca – I’m surprised it showed up instead of the quiz logo, I much prefer the quiz logo! 😀
Haha I’m here to vote 500 waaaaay late. How did I miss this one?
A fine belated score!
