Ready for Quiz #4?
…Ready for it?
.
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. Bonus question was helpful again.
I haven’t thought of a bonus question for next week’s artist yet – so alas, it may just be the regular 5 next Sunday!
500 thanks to my kids playing that album daily if not more.
Their repeated listens have paid off nicely, Neil!
500 each for me and Mika.
Terrific work, Mika & James!
400 please, a good guess thankfully rather than familiarity
Nice guess, Harrison!
100, got mixed up with Adelle due to the numbers thing
Not to worry, she may be an artist later this year!
500. She knows how to write a tune and I’m convinced she’s gonna write a proper great alternative country album at some point.
I would be happy to listen to that album – and nice work, J!
500 from a very lucky guess.
Well guessed, HMO!
This oner is due to my kids. 500 for me. I have heard enough of her to last a lifetime.
One of the advantages of having kids – doing well on these quiz weeks!
I knew having kids would pay off one day.
500
Nice work, Zack!
Like a few others here I had 3 daughters so I heard this stuff and now am flashing back 500 times to a simpler time!
The 3 daughters club is a good one to be in!
I have never been so high on your list. Currently tied with about 20 people for second haha..
I’m totally light headed haha
You’re in excellent company, Deke!
perhaps I should try to make the rest of the year entirely artists that have played at Crocks!
Well there ya go…Three shows come to mind right away from 1992-1994
I Mother Earth played there a week or so after DIG came out…
Big Sugar played and were LOUD
Tea Party right before or shortly after the debut came out.
3 mindbower shows…
Moist sold out quick in 94 missed that one and
Rancid were booked and than there album went Top 10 in the States yet they still showed up to paly crocks..missed that one ..
3/5 ain’t bad…like my History Tests back in H.S
300 this week.
Nice work, D!
Not that I could pick any of her songs out of a pile. I got it on the first clue nonetheless. 500.
Those are good weeks, when you have invested little time but still earn a perfect score / excellent return on time investment!
Haha. ROI. That reminds me of the old 7-11 days and taking inventory. They had a column on the paper order sheets that gave the profitability of each product. You would not believe the money they made off slurpees.
I have a feeling it would be a pretty big profit margin on those!
500. But, how did Google nail that translation? The surname I understand, but curious about the first name. Guess we’ll never know. 🤔
It’s a mystery that it struggled with the cure / public enemy / steely dan, but had absolutely no trouble with today’s artist!
In any event – nicely done, Amrita!
500… Not a fan, but I would be an embarrassment to my generation if I did not get such a score!
And in Manhattan, you would have been relatively close to her birthplace – I’m guessing that might not have been a place you stopped when sightseeing though!
Nice work, Adela!
Count myself as a bit of a fan. 500 please. In all my Wildest Dreams I didn’t think I’d keep my 500 streak up this long. Now All I Have To Do Is Stay
I’m afraid we’re not Out Of The Woods yet, Steve – still a few more quizzes to go. However, those 500 points do belong with you!
I look at that Blank Space every week and think I Wish You Would know the answer. Sometimes it’s all ME! Other times I have to be Ready For It.
Hey Steph(v)en – You need to calm down!
Sadly 500. Wish I did not know.
But such unwanted knowledge still pays off from time to time!
At the 1001 albums quiz!
500!
Well done, Milo!
A lucky but educated 500 points guess based on her age!
Excellent educated guessing, TVTA!
500! The cover of that album caught my eye in a record store one day. I’ve haven’t been able to shake its image off.
The quiz players are gonna play play play play – I’m pleased it resulted in a 500 for you today, Kevin!
500!
Exemplary work, Sarca!
300 please. That strikes me as about right too for a gentleman of my vintage.
Nice age-appropriate score, Joe!
500 points
Welcome back, Chris – nice way to make a re-entrance!
Not a fan, but how could I not know? 500.
It would be difficult to have not heard of her!
