1. Think of a band name that has a verb. My first instinct is to say Dokken, but I don't think Dokk is a verb. "Render Unto Caesar" also springs to mind but unfortunately I don't think that is a real band. I'm going to cheat a little and say "the Go Go's". 2. Think of a band name that has an adjective. A bunch of bands I hated in college spring to mind. Green Day. Stone Temple Pilots. Live. I propose that in the band name "The Dave Matthews Band" Dave Matthews is some sort of adjectival phrase. Also The Flaming Lips. 3. Think of a band name that has an adverb. This one is hard. I can't think of any. Oh wait, I know! Deep Purple. 4. Think of a band name that has a preposition. System of a down! 5. Think of a band named after a book or part of a book (character, etc.). The Harry Potters. 6. Think of a band named after a movie or part of a movie. Nerf Herder 7. Think of a band named after a work of visual art. Madonna (hehe) 8. Think of a band named after a person. Presumably the person can not be in the band? I'm going to say Gnarles Barkley. More inspired by than named after, but whatever. 9. Think of a band named after a place. Kansas. Boston. America. Asia. Europe. 10. Think of a band named after an object. Black Flag. 11. Think of a band named after a body part. The Frozen Heads is not really a real band, but The Talking Heads should work. Also The Flaming Lips. 12. Think of a band named after a bug. Adam Ant. 13. Think of a band name for each of the four elements. I presume we are banning Earth, Wind and Fire? Soggy Bottom Boys. Zephyr. The Flaming Lips. Earth is harder; I'm going to say Neil Diamond and stick to it. 14. Think of a band that has a name 5 words long or longer Paul Revere and the Raiders. 15. Think of a band that has a name 4 letters or shorter. Live. 16. Think of a band name that rhymes. Oingo Boingo. Duran Duran. 17. Think of a band name that’s alliterative. Duran Duran. 18. Think of a band name that’s Onomatopoeic. Oingo Boingo. 19. Think of a band name that’s an oxymoron. ummm.... men at work? 20. Think of a band name that’s an acronym. AC/DC 21. Think of a band named after a figure in mythology. Throwing Muses 22. Think of a band named after a method of transit. Manhattan Transfer 23. Think of three different color band names. Deep Purple, King Crimson, Black Flag. 24. Think of a band named after a textile. A textile? WHAT? ummm........ does Black Flag count? 25. Think of a band named after a leader of men. I KNOW that in the wake of 300 there's a band called Leonidas. OK, I've got one. The Presidents of the United States.
Hee hee! I like the answers for 17-19. I thought of "oingo boingo" later that night but it was TOO LATE.
Black Flag totally counts as a textile. I like how our oxymoron answers are both misandrous (?)
AC/DC is a good acronym! Nick's brother came up with REM which impressed me. Later that night I thought of AFI, NSYNC and arguably Eminem.
For the record, my personal answers for qq. 21-25 are Muse, Jefferson Starship, Deep Purple/Black Sabbath/White Zombie, Velvet Underground OR Psychedelic Furs (is fur a textile? I don't even know), and Queen or Queens of the Stone Age or POTUS or Kaiser Chiefs.
