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!

(Please post your points earned in the comments section)
Thanks for playing!
…..
Verbalize the Positive
She went 3 for 3 with her albums on the 1001 list, all keepers!
500. I guess she wouldn’t have been considered a songwriter until quite late in her career.
And that career has now been going for 5+ decades!
Sorry, zero points for me this week! I watched a Linda Ronstadt documentary, so I know who you’re talking about, but I forgot her name. Thanks for the quiz anyways, Geoff!
My pleasure, Lana – I’m pleased you recognized who I was talking about!
Yeah, if I hadn’t seen that documentary, I wouldn’t have had a clue who she was lol!
300 thanks to the cool picture clue.
Cheers, TVTA – nice work!
300
Nice work on the Simposns clue, Jimmy!
That album title got me 500 points. It’s an Hour Of Gold that record.
That it is, Steve – and that is a Pearl of a score too!
Not a clue, I’m afraid.
Not to worry, Harrison – a clue should return next week!
I hope so.
300 for me today.
Well done on the first equation clue, D!
Tricky one this week Geoff. 300 as those were some great clues via the pics posted especially Lou! lol
Cheers, Deke – he’s such an underrated Simpsons character!
Agreed. A fly under the radar kind of character!
500 for the red dirt. I am fascinated by her Lanois collaboration right now.
I haven’t heard that one yet – it sounds quite promising!
400 this week.
Well done on the Trio clue, JP!
300 today. At first could figure out which trophy it was – Oscar Lou – no. Grammy Lou – no. Oh! Emmy Lou 😀 also still have no idea the 200 equation.
I believe our fellow blogging friend Deke just reviewed a Lou Gramm record the other day – perhaps he sometimes performs under the pseudonym Grammy Lou!
300. I’m actually not sure I’ve ever heard her, but maybe there was something on the radio once.
I’m pleased you were familiar enough to earn the 300, Zack!
500 for me, 400 for an annoyed Mika.
A 450 household average, nothing at which to sneeze!
Zero for me Geoff.
A crisp high-five it is, Joe!
Gratefully accepted, although I have now worked out who it is.
I’m pleased the name eventually arrived, well worked out!
Only 300 for me this week.
You’re in good company, John!
Dah, only 300 this week. I like the album she did with Knopfler.
I’ve now heard good things about that one from multiple reliable sources!
Oh dude you made this an easy 500 for me! I loooove this artist!
Easy quizzes are a nice problem to have – well done!
Well, you’ll put one up that’ll get me eventually, but this artist is a long-time fave.
