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!

Nice work, Jimmy!
Excuse Me Mr. Hey You! Everyone in this band are Different People. I’d like 500 points Please this Sunday Morning. You Can Do It and we’ll End It On This… I think I avoided any major Spoilers there
A Likely Story, Steve – exemplary score & wordplay!
500 but I needed that little bonus hint at the start.
That’s what it’s there for, Graham – well played!
My first thought for Sunday Morning was Velvet Underground.
I’m getting caught up on old comments – it looks like it took so much restraint for me not to say ‘just wait until week 27’ that I forgot to reply altogether!
300 due to well that’s when I got the answer.
Well answered, Neil!
500 Smackers as I jammed this band on Garage Band back in the day with the girls. lol Plus they were everywhere at that time without a doubt! lol
I’d imagine they would be fun to play along with on Garage Band – I remember struggling with the guitar, I can play a 6-string, but had a tough time with the colourful buttons!
400 please. It was the Tragic Kingdom that gave it away
It sold a few copies back in the day, Harrison!
I actually know it through searching for footage from the live album with it in its title.
200 for me.
You know your antonyms, D!
500 for me sir. Glad that I actually knew the band member names.
Such knowledge tends to come in handy on these quizzes, John!
I knew it would come in handy one day.
500. It was the bonus hint that helped me too!
As they said in Wayne’s World, “OK, Party, Bonus!”

500. Now I’m curious to hear a band called Yes Certainty. I wonder what they would sound like. 🤔
I suppose they’d play in the genre of whatever the antonym of ska is!
Sounds like my kinda music!
400. I still couldn’t tell you the other guy’s names without scrolling back up.
The lead singer’s name is slightly more familiar!
500 each for me and Mika.
Stellar work, Mika & James!
400. The French clue was trop cool, merci bien 😀
De rien, TVTA!
500 unfortunately.
Knowing the ‘other guys’ in bands tends to pay off on these quizzes, Holen!
500, please!
Outstanding work, Sarca!
300 please. I quite like them too.
Well done, Joe!
300 this week please. With certainty 😀
Indubitably, Paul!
300 points please! That Gwen Stefani clue saved my butt, haha!
I’m pleased you got the Gwen clue, Lana!
Thanks for the quiz Geoff!
400 points this week.
Well done, J!
I have certainty I’m gonna need 500 on this one. They were big when I was in college.
And the college education paid off!
Ha no it didn’t, I never finished. But I paid attention to the tunes at the time, so… win? LOL
