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 please, off a pure (but still fairly well educated) guess
Excellent work, Harrison!
500. Bit of a guess but I remember the vocalist dying while I was at university.
Well guessed, Graham!
500, my kinda band 🙂
Exemplary work, Jimmy!
400 because the clue was so good
Much appreciated, Neil – and well done!
No Excuses please 500 points
i Would say that’s a great score, Steve!
500. They were one of my favourite bands.
Well done, J – both with the score and old favourite!
500. Out of that whole Seattle grunge scene I enjoyed them the most.
And that’s quite an enjoyable score as well, Kevin!
500 for me!!
Excellent work, John!
Piece of cake 5!
500 that is
I had a feeling you’d bounce right back this week, Mike!
You never lose faith!
I took Jon Bon’s advice!
500 for this Man In The Box
I’ll send the points to TBay in a jar, Deke – hold the Flies!
400 for me. They weren’t my cuppa.
I’m pleased enough knowledge of them still resulted in a good score!
Yeah, I remember they were a big deal but by the time they came around, I was done with Seattle. I’m sure they were excellent but my ears were elsewhere.
500. One of my favorite bands
500 svp!
de rien, Sarca!
I’ll take 400 thanks to the book clue.
Well played, D!
500 please. I’m crowing like a rooster about it too.
As you should – Them 500 Bones is a score worth crowing about!!
500. One of my favorite bands
I knew you’d bounce right back this week, Zack!
500 grungy points. They were superb participants of that scene
And a superb score as well, TVTA!
400 again this week – picked the wrong Seattle band STP who I think also lost a lead singer? Anyway, thanks for the quizzes!
That is also true – I don’t think Scott Weiland passed away until sometime in the 2010s though.
And my pleasure, Paul, thanks for playing!
Ok well at least I was in right track. To be honest wasn’t that into grunge other than Nirvana and Pearl Jam so a lot sounded same to me 😀
500 each for Mika and me.
500 for me.
400 for Nina Simone last week. Damn it! I should have gotten that at 500.
300 points for me this week Geoff! Thank goodness I know who Alice Cooper is or else I would’ve been like, “who the heck is that dude?” Haha!
500 for me. I remember my Dad asked me what I wanted for my birthday one year and I said the Dirt album and I can just picture him in a record shop asking for it. Oh man.
