Test your knowledge of Keith Urban's biggest hits, deep cuts and iconic moments.
His biggest records give themselves away from the guitar, not the vocal: the rolling hook of 'Somebody Like You', the drive of 'Days Go By', the banjo of 'Sweet Thing'. Name them from the playing, not the words.
The stories behind the songs decide the close rounds: the six-string banjo he made a country staple, the Grammy-winning ballad, the origin question that fools more players than any solo does.
His catalog sorts into tiers of difficulty: the riffs everyone knows, the ballads that hide the guitar, the songs you place from a solo, and the duets that throw players off. Find where you drop points.
Start with the songs that announce themselves from the opening bars: the rolling hook of 'Somebody Like You', the drive of 'Days Go By', the strut of 'Long Hot Summer' and the bright banjo lick of 'Sweet Thing'. Most players name these before the first line is sung, so they are the easy points at the top of any Keith Urban quiz.
Then the guitar steps back. 'Blue Ain't Your Color' leans on smoky blues, 'Making Memories of Us' rides a gentle acoustic, and 'You'll Think of Me' lets the voice do the work. Anyone waiting for a signature riff stalls here, which is exactly why these slow ones catch out the riff-readers.
Urban is one of the few country stars you can identify by the lead break alone. 'Stupid Boy' builds from a whisper to a long, wailing solo outro, and his live cuts stretch the guitar even further. Place a song from the playing rather than the chorus and you are in the top tier of any guess-the-song round.
The trickiest questions sit at the edges. 'The Fighter' pairs him with Carrie Underwood, 'We Were Us' with Miranda Lambert, and deeper cuts like 'Cop Car' and 'Wasted Time' reward fans who go past the radio singles. A thorough Keith Urban quiz reaches for these before the obvious hits.
Songtrivia plays a short clip and you name the Keith Urban song before the chorus lands, then answer trivia about his albums and career. Because his guitar often carries the hook, the fastest points go to players who know the riffs, not just the words.
The riff-led singles like 'Somebody Like You' and 'Days Go By' are easy points. The trap is his guitar-quiet ballads: 'Blue Ain't Your Color' and 'Making Memories of Us' pull the signature guitar back and leave riff-readers guessing. That is a good round to guess the song with friends in a multiplayer music quiz.
Expect the hits everyone knows, 'Somebody Like You', 'Days Go By', 'Long Hot Summer' and 'You'll Think of Me', plus duets and deep cuts like 'The Fighter' with Carrie Underwood and 'Stupid Boy' that separate the superfans.
