Music Quiz: Musicians by First Names Picture Quiz

Last week’s Bowie quiz threw up a couple of different winners than usual – congratulations to Tangerine Trees (https://allyouneedisthebeatles.wordpress.com/) and Chris (https://moviesandsongs365.wordpress.com/) who both scored 100%.

This week’s quiz requires you to match artists from their first name to their mugshot.

I scored 23/24. Can you beat me and score 100%? Let me know!

      • He is Ringo…period…not Richard or Ritchie… I’m a huge Beatles fan and I should be kicked though.
        Love those quizes…they are challenging. I can only do the ones about older artists though.

        • I like quizzes like this one that encompass a range of eras. I generally find, even though I cover newer music as well, anything involving classic rock tends to get more hits/comments/likes etc.

          • You are right about that. When I’ve tried to slip a few unknowns…most of the time I get nothing.
            I’m curious…you know a lot of music…have you ever heard of “The Nashville Ramblers”? They were from San Diego and had a brilliant power pop song called The Trains…in the 80s.

  1. 24/24. Almost blew it with Alecia but thought about it for a minute. Fortunately I (for whatever reason) know the real first names of a lot of celebs.

      • I know! I don’t even know half of their music but I know their names. I’m a trivia guy and I have a thing for names. I find them interesting, especially the choices people make when they change them. There’s a guy who was in Steppenwolf named Dennis Edmonton who changed his name to Mars Bonfire! But his original name was Dennis McCrohan. WTF?

    • I think you and Jim are the 100% so far, but he didn’t give a time.
      Kamer Man, look at your score, Jim’s a lot like you.
      You both scored 100% before the day was through.

    • Maybe you have more of a visual mind. I know my scores always plummet when it’s anything involving pictures, while my wife’s an architect and really good at visual stuff.

      • Well spotted. I think I’m at a disadvantage before we even start the quiz(I only got into music seriously in my 30s). But fun to play along and learn.
