For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

Name an artist/band A-Z

Thu Jul 27, 2006 5:29 am

Name an artist/band for every letter of the alphabet? This is just some unique game I started a long time ago among my wonderful friends. Feel free to play. The word 'The' does not count as a letter for 'T' so anything after that works. Last Names can be used as the first letter as well as first names. If you can't think of anything, put any artist in. If there stil isn't anything, just don't put anything or state that you don't know any artists.

Oh, and no trolling (In which I mean no ranting/making fun of other people's music tastes).

This so far seems more like a forum game to me than a facet of introducing music to people (besides, we already have threads for that). I'm moving this to NNV. :)

I've also changed the topic title.

*chuckles*

This reminds of me of a competition I once had with a friend of mine that grew out of a game of Scattegories. The idea was to collect 26 songs - one per artist from A-Z. It was a definite challenge, especially with certain letters (mostly X and Z) and in a few cases the songs were only collected to fill the gap (and now I never listen to them).

Anyway, here is my list... one for every letter!
