We had a smaller turnout than usual in last week’s parentheses quiz, but it was again won by a Jim (but just one this week, unlike last week’s two-Jim tie). Congratulations to Jim the Music Enthusiast.
This week’s quiz is a little different from most quizzes I’ve featured – you only have a minute and there’s initially a lot of visual information to process. A band’s name will appear, and you will need to click any of the three band members featured in the grid.

I scored 8/8 with 17 seconds remaining – can you beat my time?
In other news, have you ever heard Crosby, Stills, Nash, Jones, and Young?
It amazes me that we still have all five around in 2021. We did recently lose Prince Phillip who once asked Tom Jones “What do you gargle with, pebbles?””

I’m on a roll. 8/8, 20 seconds left. I thought sure I’d blown it. I don’t know a soul in Linkin Park. Lucky guess. Do I get a Tony award? (So to speak).
As to the Tom Jones thing, boy can he sing. That’s a Crosby song and you can tell he’s digging it. As to Prince Phillip, he seemed to spend a lot of time with his foot in his colonies mouths.
I left Linkin Park til last. It was easier once I had Green Day as those two are similar genre and era so similar looks.
And two of my son’s favorite bands.
Is it cheating if you look through the photos first & then start the quiz? If so, then put an asterisk next to my score of 8/8 with 54 seconds remaining. I initially assumed I would have to click on each band member but just clicking on one highlighted all of them. I have seen the CSNY + TJ performance. Good stuff.
All legal – if it was a quiz where you couldn’t see the photos before starting, then did something dubious like taking a screenshot, that would be an issue. Don’t know if anyone’s going to beat your time.
8/8 with :26 left. I like how all of the band members lit up if you found just one. Made it easy.
It was pretty when they all lit up too.
Perfect score!
🙂 yes it was!
Oh I love Tom Jones’ voice. The man has soul! Wales has a history of seriously jamming musicians.
He has brand new stuff that’s pretty interesting. He normally falls on the wrong side of kitsch for me, but I like his voice.
I’m sure you’ve heard him do Prince’s “Kiss”. Not really new but newer for him. Amazing he’s still kicking out the jams.
Yeah I like his version of Kiss a lot. Not so keen on his Burning Down the House.
SCORE
8/8
TIMER
00:36 One I didn’t know but just saved it til the end.
I left Linkin Park til last.
Same one!
I figured!
8/8 w/ 39 seconds left, if you know one member of each band, then it’s pretty easy.
Yup, I just got overwhelmed by the one minute time limit and the huge grid to start with.
Amazingly I got 8/8 without knowing anything about Linking Park or Metallica.
Great work!
8/8 with 36 seconds left on the clock.
As for Crosby, Stills, Nash, Jones, and Young, that is pretty excellent. That’s a line-up I wouldn’t mind hearing more from.
Great work! I don’t know what CSN songs would work. Can’t see Jones singing the folk stuff. I like Crosby and Nash harmonising with him.
Crosby is having the time of his life.
I’m not sure if Neil is though.
I tried to go too fast and hit one wrong so 7/8 with 40 seconds left. But no one is beating Rich!!
Haste makes waste! That’s what my maths teacher always said.
My math teach would always say…Shut Up John! Yours is much nicer.
Not Now John! Got to compete with the wily Japanese, (do you know the song?)
I don’t think I do.
There’s a song called Not Now John on The Final Cut.
I did get them all. I was initially confused by the highlighting in different colours and thought I got my second one wrong, which may have led to my slower time. I had :16 seconds left on the clock. Some of these folks are speed demons, no?
Yes I don’t know how Rich did it! Steroids?
Probably.
I had the same confusion!
8 with 25 to go – I’m pleased you only had to choose one of the band members, I don’t know if I’d be able to assign each of the members to the correct groups!
Good work!
I got 100% with 35 second left. That was fun!
Ooh, fast time.
Fortunately that’s not what she’s ever said lol!
I got 8/8 with 21 seconds left.
Good work!
8 of 8 with 28 seconds left. 🙂 Actually the different color coding intially confused me – I am used to the correct answer being green and incorrect being red or orange, so when it didn’t turn green I was like what? So I was surprised when it said I had all 8.
You got 8/8 anyway, so it looks like you coped. I thought all the different colours were pretty.
True. Feel like I stumbled into it.
somehow didn’t notice that all the member were lighting up, but may have been my laptop
