Congratulations to James from keepsmealive, who top scored in last week’s Artist by First Hit quiz.
This week your challenge is to match the singer’s image to a definition of their surname. You should recognise most of the faces, but it requires some puzzling skills.

I scored 21/21, although I was down to educated guessing with a few left on the board.
Can you beat my time of 3:01 remaining?

Great work, again!
16/21. There were some people there I just could not recognize and guessing didn’t help. And at one point I kept looking for Johnny Rivers.
Me too!
I had no idea who Cee-Lo Green was. And Mr Brooks took me a while because IIRC he wasn’t very big outside the US.
Cee Lo did a pretty good song R&B song called ‘Crazy’ and another one called ‘Fuck You’ AKA ‘Forget You.’ As to Garth Brooks, he’s one of the biggest country stars we’ve ever had. I’m not a big fan but he’s not bad for what he does.
Very weird. I got 20/21 but I think it registered a correct answer as incorrect. I’ll accept the results and just say that this was a fun quiz.
Weird – I wonder what happened there.
I tied your score Graham – 21/21 with 3:01 remaining
Cool – don’t remember that happening very often.
I got 21/21 but I had :13 left … a sad showing for me
Score is more significant than time, so you did well!
16/21. it took me some time to get into the groove
21/21 with 4:39 left — ON SECOND TRY
OK, I guess that deserves an honourable mention?
Not really 😉 Just playing around.
Should’ve been 21/21 but messed up on a click. 20/21 is the final.
Great work!
18/21. It didn’t help that I couldn’t think of the name of a couple. Sometimes my memory fails me,
It’s sometimes hard to sift through all the ephemera in our heads….
21/21 with 3:39 remaining, thoroughly enjoyed that one
Thanks for playing!
and great effort!
20/21. I couldn’t remember Keith Urban’s name even though I recognize the picture from when he was in Playgirl magazine and they had that picture. That made me screw up and miss Axl Rose somehow. Not sure how that worked.
Urban’s born in New Zealand, which probably makes him a contender for our most successful musical export. Vying with Kiri Te Kanawa, Neil Finn, and Lorde.
I didn’t know that he was from New Zealand. Maybe that’s why he was married to Nicole Kidman cuz she’s from Australia I think or maybe New Zealand. That’s when he did the Playgirl layout, when he was married to her. But he wasn’t completely nude, just partially. They didn’t show his dick or anything. I’m still not positive if I ever heard any of his records. I can’t think of the name of any of them if I have.
I think they’re still married?
they are still married? Oh, I thought it was one of those little short marriages that celebrities always have. That last about 30 days. LOL
21/21, amazingly. More due to linguistic skills than musical knowledge!
Good linguistic skills!

02:58 ….that was a lot of fun.
I didn’t know Urban was from New Zealand. I’ve always heard Australia…but I guess you guys get that a lot. Him and Nicole Kidman lived around 3-4 miles from me at one time…they might still live there.
He moved to Australia when he was two, so our claim is a little tenuous… Good time.
