“Can You Identify The Band Just From A Literal Picture Of Their Name?”: Try Scoring At Least 24/32

Sometimes when we hear a band’s name or an artist’s pseudonym, we can’t help but wonder, “How did they come up with it?” Maybe it’s a deep metaphor? Or maybe it just sounds cool? Or maybe they just had to come up with a name fast, and that’s what was chosen? Well, sometimes, what’s chosen is surprisingly straightforward and down to earth, even literal.

In this quiz, we’re taking 32 famous artists and bands and reimagining their names through a literal lens – what they might look like if you took their name at face value. Your mission? Use your deductive reasoning, imagination, and music knowledge to identify these legends. Seems easy enough? We’ll see!

    I lead a fantastic team of trivia and quiz writers who churn out everything from pop culture and personality quizzes to general knowledge and the occasional oddly specific factoid. Sometimes, I drop a challenge for you myself. I'm especially into anything involving math or logic puzzles—basically, anything that makes your brain do a happy little dance, or gets you frustrated because you definitely should have gotten that right.

    Some of those I have never heard of! Gutted not to get a couple of them as they were actually good clues, the last one particularly.
