About This Quiz

Here’s the loop. Title appears, four artists compete, one is correct. You listen in your head, then choose. No deep trivia. Let tone, phrasing, and production steer you. Fast moves keep you in flow.

Anchor examples help. A bass line built on a Rick James sample means parachute-pants legend. That Titanic-sized, choir-lift ballad = Céline. A Brooklyn trio joking through a 70s-cop-show spoof points to a Spike Jonze classic.

If stuck, sort by decade fingerprint: early-90s boom bap, mid-90s alt shimmer, late-90s boy-band gloss. Make the call, log the point, and roll to the next screen.
