Ready for Quiz #22?

How does it feel to be back?!

.

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!

For:

500 points………………..American duo, formed in Philadelphia in 1970.

Alas, none of their albums are on the 1001 list…but, you know, it don’t matter anyway.

As you can rely on their 1984 compilation, Rock ‘n’ Soul Part 1, definitely on My List of the best things in life!

400 points……………….In the 2010 Jay Baruchel film, She’s Out of My League, T.J. Miller’s character ‘Stainer’ played in a cover band named Adult Education, with a setlist comprised entirely of songs by this duo, such as the ballad, Everytime You Go Away.

And speaking of entertainment from 2010, the gentlemen in this duo share first names with the TV characters featured below:

Verbalize the Positive

I consider myself fortunate to have a calendar of this duo from 1984 (it was included in one of their LPs).

The countdown is now on until 2040 when I’ll finally be able to use it again!
