Ready for Quiz #50?

We’ve reached The End!

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!

300 points……………………Even if you searched all Across the Universe, looking Here, There, and Everywhere, would you find another group where all the members are so widely known by their first names?

Even when translated to Spanish (Juan, Pablo, Jorge, y Ringo)?

Or perhaps Finnish (Juho, Paavali, Yrjö, ja Ringo)?

.

.

200 points………………..In My Life, I’m not sure if another group will ever top ‘The White Album.’

And With a little help from my photo clues, hopefully this week’s artist name will materialise!
