Congratulations to tomwritesaboutstuff, who recorded the fastest time in last week’s acrostic puzzle quiz.
This week you need to name the musical act given a promotional product with their branding.

I scored 19/20 – I missed the squiggly face logo. I suspect there will be plenty of 20/20s this week.
It’s fitting that the quiz includes Charlie Watts’ band too. I’m amazed that The Rolling Stones took until the 2020s to lose their second member, after losing Brian Jones in the 1960s. This discounts pianist Ian Stewart, who was pushed out of the band before their first album, but remained as a supporting piece until he passed away in 1985.

20/20 with 3:07 left on the clock. Had the first 19 very quickly but it took me a while to figure out a certain female pop singer’s colorful outfit.
RIP to Charlie Watts. I’ve played many Stones songs over the years with various bands and always enjoyed playing Charlie’s inimitable grooves.
He wasn’t a super flashy player, but he was perfect for that group I think. You’re still in the lead.
20/20 with 1:12 left. That said…………………………………. I cheated! I had 17/20 with 2:00 left then used an app to find the rest.
How do you use an app to cheat for this one?
Tin-Eye is the app. Right click on the image and it will search for that image on the net (in a new window.)
Ooh, sounds a little dodgy for competitive scores, so it’s good you gave me the clean score too.
15/20. El sucko. Yeah, it’s remarkable that Charlie died and Keef is still with us.
Keith Richard spent some time in hospital in New Zealand about a decade ago after he fell out of a coconut tree.
17/20, and gave up with about 30 seconds to go.
Do you need to buy more fan products? You need those Rollig Stone skis.
17 in a flash. Not a clue about the other three!
Amy Winehouse not in your wheelhouse?
She was an easy one! Have her albums and have written about her for Discrepancy Records twice!
Had no idea about Katie Perry (I tried Cindi Lauper, twice), Chili Peppers or… I forget the other.
Cool – I like Winehouse more than Perry or RHCP.
SCORE
19/20 I missed the doll with the dress…nope I would not know that artist’s logo
I am not a fan – she basically shouts her way through everything with zero subtlety.
18/20 – missed out the star mask and the bottle opener. Charlie was the one member of the Stones that you can’t really make fun of, because there wasn’t anything to make fun of. How Keith is still alive is beyond me.
Bill is maybe the easiest to make fun of? Or Mick for Dancing in the Street.
16/20, missed candy dress, rag dolls, pop art poster, and the designer sunglasses. RIP Charlie Watts. I think Keith Richards was embalmed two decades ago and no one noticed! Toxic chemicals only make him stronger, you know.
Keith cannot be killed by conventional weapons.
19/20 for me too.
Ooh, good effort.
20/20 with 3:54. I had to guess a few times to get the dress correct.
Ooh, fastest time I think.
Cool I think. I wasn’t trying to beat a time, just get the answers 😉
Good work.
Ha cheers. Apparently the key to success is to not worry? I am learning weird lessons.
I think relaxing definitely helps with some things like passing a driver’s license test. You probably need to be keyed up for big competitive things though.
Yeah, it’s knowing which is which though lol!
20/20 with 3:07 on the clock – ended up taking a guess (based on who hadn’t been included) on the pop art poster and got it right first time
Good work – another 20.
19/20 thanks to the dang rag dolls. Duh!!!
I’m currently working through the rag dolls’ discography, so that was easy for me. 19 is good anyway.
18 of 20 – missed the one you did and RHCP – even though I guess the color was the clue but I got stuck on the shape.
Good work!
