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! https://66.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lq14yhsnlq1qjhphb.jpg
Nice – and nice!
400. Should have had 500 given that I’m listening to this band at the moment.
I suppose the sound of the band changes with the singer? Nice work Danica!
200.
Good work Amrita!
400
I misread 500 and thought you meant that singer’s other band
A band who also had some good tunes!
400 as I am only familiar with this band in a very surface manner…
I’m pleased that surface knowledge still led to a strong score Neil!
500. I’m standing on Top of the World
Might as well jump for joy with a perfect score like that, Steve!
An eruption of joy. Its got me dancing in the streets.
Haha, You Really Got Me pleased with all this wordplay Steve!
Thought you Hear About It Later.
400. I’m not good with bands who have hair over their collars. Or who don’t have collars at all.
Haha, I’ll try to get back to some more clean cut/sharply dressed artists soon!
Woohoo. 500
Reading LeBrain’s blog definitely helps with these
That would be a very good resource, especially for groups like this!
F. U. C. K. me, I got 500 points!
Talk about standing on top of the world with a score like that!
Head scratching at #1. All clear at #2. 400 please Mr Scorer!
400 points it is, Bruce!
500 Smackers!
How Many Say I?
Feel free to dance the night away celebrating a score like that Deke!
BAHAHAHA!
400!
Nicely done Milo!
500!
Well played Zack!
500! Gary’s album with them wasn’t that bad.
I didn’t have it – but that doesn’t surprise me that it was decent. I remember you saying the Motley Crue album without the usual singer was a good one too!
The Motley one with John Corabi is actually one of their best. The Gary one for VH is not one of their best, but still not bad.
Gosh, I knew the name was familiar, but got it at 400.
But there should be bonus marks for using ‘Gosh’ in a comment!
400. Apparently, I completely overlooked that era.
You’re likely not alone – although Cherone is not Wayne Gretzky, much like how many look back and say, Cherone was in this group?, Gretzky was on St. Louis?!
400 please.
Nice work Joe!
I come in at 400 today.
Well done D!
500 for me! Yas!
Exemplary work J!
500. I have a feeling you’re doing this on purpose just for me. 😉
You’re off to a stellar start!
500 for me, 400 for Mika
This could be your year James!
It won’t be! But I like the idea
Easy 500!
Nice work Aaron!
Well… I’ve spent my fair share of time listening to these guys’ albums…
time well spent!
I will never not agree!
Oh yeah, easy 500! Who could forget the dark times of Gary Cherone?
I’m pleased you did not forget that era, Kevin!
200…
I don’t anticipate it will be a 200 streak, not to worry!
500. Coming in late to the game but looks like fun.
Welcome Paul – and nice way to make an entrance too!
Sorry – missed this one – 400. Sammy did it for some reason.
No worries!
