Music photo quiz

[zoo_music_girl]

From duranorak.

The rules:
1. Open a music player.
2. Go to 'all music'/'library'.
3. Hit shuffle/repeat/randomise.
4. Find photos of the first 10 artists/bands that come up [no repeats and no cheating].
5. Have people guess who the artists/bands are.

Except I'm at work, so I've just picked ten artists/bands that might have come up. There's my usual mixture of Fiona Music and a few random ones. Don't bother cheating by looking at the filenames, I'm not going to give scores anyway! It's just a bit of fun. Comments are screened.


1.

This wasn't the photo I wanted to use, but I couldn't find that one. The photo I wanted to use has them sitting on an Alice in Wonderland mushroom sculpture, which I think is in Central Park.

1 - Sonic Youth
2 - Lydia Lunch?
3 - Shellydevoto (or arguably an early pic of the Buzzcocks - it's Pete and Howard anyway).
4 - Should know it. The Delgados?
5 - Siouxsie Sioux
6 - That's Joy Division
7 - Patti Smith
8 - Nope
9 - Edith Piaf?
10 - The Pixies (isn't Kim tall?)

You've got them all right except 4 and 9. I think you can get 8 if you look closely.

[swisstone.livejournal.com]

8 looks like a lot of TV presenters who've formed a band!

Is 9 Eva Peron?

[zoo-music-girl.livejournal.com]

8. LOL!

9. No.

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

I have never seen her, but the face fits the voice, so I'm guessing #2 is Lydia Lunch.

5 is Siouxsie, obviously, and 6 is Joy Division, likewise; 9 is Maria Callas (really?) but other than that I don't know. :)

All correct, and well done on number 2!

And yes, really! I have her singing the Habanera from Carmen, but actually Jarboe has done a couple of songs about her too.

1. Is that the Velvet Underground?
5. Siouxsie
6. Miserabilists from Manchester (although, heaven knows, probably so would I be if I were northern. One thanks heaven for small mercies...). Yeah, anyway, Joy Div.
7. Is that Patti Smith?
10. No idea, but police have warned the public on no account to approach the one on the far right, whom they have described as 'very dangerous'.

1 is Sonic Youth, 5 is Siouxsie, 8 is Neubauten...

I know 2, but I just can't...GAH!

7 is horribly familiar as well. Am tempted to say Patti Smith or something.

[zoo-music-girl.livejournal.com]

All correct. You know some of the others too though.

READ THIS ONE!

[kixie.livejournal.com]

ARGH! I hate screened comments and my really bad brain!

Right!

Is 8 Maria Callas?

2 almost looks like Tori, but I know it's not. Anita Lane?

[zoo-music-girl.livejournal.com]

Your comments are disappearing.

4 is right now. 2 isn't no, but 9 is.

[kixie.livejournal.com]

Sorry about that, havinga serious retard day. Also, one of those pictures is really bugging me!

[zoo-music-girl.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to email you the answers?

[kixie.livejournal.com]

yes please! :)

4. I recognise the guy on the left. No idea who they are.
5. Siouxsie. I knew she'd be there somewhere.
9. Looks like Stephanie Beecham, but that seems unlikely.

[mr-tom.livejournal.com]

At a guess:

2: Lydia Lunch
5: Siouxsie Sioux
6: Franz Ferdinand Joy Division
7: Patti Smith

[sushidog.livejournal.com]

1 is Pixies, I think.
6 is Siouxsie Sioux
7 is Joy Division
8 could possibly be Patti Smith?
Actually, hang on, 10 is Pixies, so 1 can't be, that must be someone else, but I don't know who. Bum.

[sushidog.livejournal.com]

Oops, yes, numbering muddled up, sorry!; 5 is Siouxsie, 6 is Joy Division, 7 is Patti Smith, 10 is Pixies, don't know who 1 is.
