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!

Not sure if I Can guess this one, but Halleluwah, 500 points.
You are Capable!
200 s’il vous plaît monsieur.
bien fait Harrison!
400 points. Which is amazing considering I’ve never heard of this band.
I’d say that would qualify as amazing indeed, nice work!
400 points. Which is amazing considering I’ve never heard of this band.
Not sure why this is posted as a reply. Whoops!
500 (apparently my obsessive love of David Bowie’s Berlin era comes in use for purposes other than my generally obsessive love of David Bowie)!
Being obsessed with Bowie has its rewards!
500. Much as I tried I never really “got” them.
I’m pleased you got the 500 though!
dreihundert
fantastisch!
300
Nice!
300 this week. Not all that familiar with them, but I am aware of that album.
Nice work J!
Father Cannot Yell. But if he could, he’d bellow “Ein halbes Tausend, bitte!”
Einfach heute.
Bruce, if you hadn’t earned full points here, something would have been amiss with the clues, sehr gut!
Alles gut, mein Freund1
400 for me. Thanks to watching Speed yesterday. It was on, I stopped and next thing I know, two hours passed.
A well-timed viewing of Speed – and time well spent if you ask me!
100 points =Gah!
I knew I was in trouble this week after scoring 500 last week!
That ain’t no ol Cheap Trick
I’m not sure if this group ever played the Budokan either!
Got it at 400. Speed’s my jam.
that makes 2 of us!
400! Oof a tricky one tho, I only got it because I have committed everything Keanu Reeves has ever said to memory
Whoa – Well done Milo!
300.
Nice work Amrita!
300. My citric first idea proved not go good by question 3
Well done wdeod!
Cinq cent pour moi. (Oops, wrong lingo.)
fantastique/fantastisch!
A lowly 200.
Not to worry Mike – you know your 2008 election slogans!
We found our 2009 Obama collector cards!
500 and those hours huddled over Copes Kraurock book have paid of, my Waynes World viewing however was useless this week.
I believe I did Kraftwerk last year – but I haven’t done Tangerine dream or Neu! yet (both have albums on the 1001) so that book may prove to be useful again!
400 for Mika. 200 for me because I didn’t read the 300-point question carefully.
I’m pleased Mika knew the Keanu quote!
200 today.
nice work D!
500 for me. I didn’t know the bassist’s name, but the year and the genre tipped me.
2 outta 3 ain’t bad – and 500 certainly isn’t either!
Am I too late to claim a cool 500 here?
You’re right on time!
