One Name Musicians Quiz

it depends on the type of music you listen to, i do not consider any of these songs much past the 80s songs to be awesome. not everyone listens to hip-hip/pop/rap/easy listening.

im into rock and heavy music and I got all but 3 of them

That's discounting 30 - 40 years of music. You should make more of an effort to find music you might enjoy from the more modern era. Modern music is not exemplified by pop music. And that's true of any era in music. Abba wasn't the be-all-end-all of music of their time. No one would claim that. There's plenty of really excellent musicians out there if you look for them, no matter what genres you enjoy.

We have been listening to real music from the 50's and 60's. By the way, I did not see Dion's name.

Well, it's *technically* Paul Hewson.

I may be getting senile, but I swear I remember David Cassidy singing "I think we're alone now" on The Partridge Family. I searched youtube for it with no results.

I'm surprised to see Snow on that list

I'm surprised I remembered his name!

Do you think Snow would be surprised if you licky boom boom down???

Me too! I couldn't get it out of my head, even though I know the Cher song as well.

You did not mention beyonce

Why isn't beyonce on here

Sorry. Teenager in the 60s. Don't listen to current music altho I've heard of a lot of these songs. I should have just thrown out more one-names and hoped for the best. Still, I got 11 right.

Ciara is another single name singer who also has a song named "So What", that clue wasted a good minute of my time thinking I was spelling it wrong before I gave up!

I'm also only familiar with the older stuff... like a previous commenter, I was wondering how to write Tommy James as one word. I was also only aware of "Gangsta's Paradise" because of "Amish Paradise" by Al Yankovic. I'd be really impressed by anyone who got 100% on the first shot with this quiz.

But he didn't just go by Elvis.

left out Dion, Fabian, Keith, to name a few.

What about "Zayn"? I know a lot of people know his last name but as a musical artist he goes by just Zayn now

There are literally hundreds that could qualify but there are some notable omissions...Beyonce, Lulu, Bjork, Aaliyah, Kesha, Bono, Dion, Enya, Liberace, Gotye, Yanni, Vangelis, etc etc.

Moby, Cartola, K'naan, Poe, etc

List of one-word stage names

Melanie

Meatloaf!

Except that it's Meat Loaf.

Cue the "this music is crap" comments. Just because something isn't your cup of tea, doesn't make it bad.

Lulu.......Melanie.......to name a couple from another generation.

Not many of these people are musicians,most just sing.
