I thought I'd try a music quiz. Basically I've put up the real names of people who we know by their stage names.
Some are easy some more difficult.
There are gonna be points for the best scores.
Here goes:
Real name - stage name?
Robert Zimmerman Reginald Ball Marshall Mathers Huddie Leadbetter Brenda Webb Gary Leeds Rebecca Bond Reginald Smith Declan McManus Genya Ravan Mary O'Brien Marie McLaughlin John Lydon Raymond Burns Reginald Dwight Raymond O'Sullivan Marianne Elliot-Said Gerry Dorsey Graham Mcpherson Douglas Trendle
Quite a few Regs in there - not surprising they changed theri monaker!
Oh, and no googling please; if you don't know guess!

Hm, a few names there that graced my teens and early twenties.
I think I will pass on this as I believe I know most of the answers and it would be much more fun to allow others to put forward their suggestions.
Perhaps we could have a spoiler as is done on some boards with quizzes?

Oh gosh. Being in the States so long, I'm afraid I don't recognize any of them!
Perhaps Skylark knows these?

Six of them ARE American, Hunny!
One of the Americans was a HUGE star in his time!

Okay, I'll try...
Real name - stage name?
Robert Zimmerman - Bob Dylan? Reginald Ball Marshall Mathers Huddie Leadbetter - Lead Belly Brenda Webb Gary Leeds Rebecca Bond Reginald Smith Declan McManus Genya Ravan Mary O'Brien Marie McLaughlin John Lydon - I feel like I should know this one... Raymond Burns Reginald Dwight - Elton John Raymond O'Sullivan Marianne Elliot-Said - Marianne Faithful Gerry Dorsey Graham Mcpherson Douglas Trendle
That's all I recognize!

You've got three of them right - I won't tell you which three though!

I know 16 of them and am fairly confident about another two.
Robert Zimmerman - Bob Dylan Reginald Ball - Reg Presley Marshall Mathers - Eminem Huddie Leadbetter - Leadbelly Brenda Webb - Crystal Gayle Gary Leeds - not sure Rebecca Bond - I suspect I might be the only person who knows this! I saw her and her band playing live when I was in my late teens. Becki Bondage Reginald Smith - not sure Declan McManus - Elvis Costello Genya Raven - not sure Mary O'Brien - Dusty Springfield Marie McLaughlin - Lulu John Lydon - Johnny Rotten Raymond Burns - I know this one but I'll hold back to give other people a chance Reginald Dwight - Elton John Raymond O'Sullivan - again I know but I'll pass on this round Marianne Elliot-Said - Poly Styrene Gerry Dorsey - not sure Graham Mcpherson - Suggs Douglas Trendle - not sure

So which ones are we missing still?
For Mary O'Brien, I was going to confidently suggest - Bo Derek - but this is absolute folly as I can't think of any songs she ever sang, lol!.
I think Gerry Dorsey might = Englebert Humperdink?
Wild guess at Gary Leeds = Gary Glitter?
I see Mike is leaving us to guess both Raymond Burns & Raymond O'Sullivan so how about - Ray Charles? for one of them?

Don't forget I didn't even set this quiz; it was one of Donna's and even I only know 16 of the 20 answers and had to google the others!
And today has been both crazily busy and very frustrating.
I'll try and calculate the scores tomorrow!

Gibby, this is the music quiz; you didn't even enter for this one! Sorry, you're not a winner. Mike got 13, Hunny 3, Cumberdoodle 3 and Trubble 1. But as he's my husband I feel I shouldn't in all fairness declare him the winner!

If Mike won, then he should get the trophy. How about if I present it to him? WELL DONE MIKE!
