Name That Artist: Picture Quiz

About This Quiz

See the picture, choose the name. Four options, one match. Start with easy signals: uniforms, shoes, poses, and setting. Those patterns lock faster than any list of dates.

Five suits in perfect formation usually means a Motown vocal group with slick steps. Three Queens rappers in black hats and unlaced sneakers point to the crew that made Adidas a badge. Matching glitter and big smiles under TV lights often belong to the Swedish quartet that won Eurovision and never left the radio.

Still unsure? Think timelines. Is the photo studio-clean or club-dark? Analog amps or synth racks? Use those clues to separate close calls. Pick it, move on, and keep stacking green checks.
