a different type of band name game

[ewen]

Just had a thought (don't get many of them) for another band or artist name game while playing Dozer's. Probably been done before but here goes.

the rules with this one:

i mention a band and the next person has to mention a band or artist which has a connection to my band for one of the following reasons:

one of the members in your band is also in the band i mentioned (e.g. The Clash -> Big Audio dynamite)

the bands have recorded or covered the same song (e.g. U2/Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower)

the artist has a song title of the same name (e.g. U2/Metallica - "One")

it could potentially go around in circles but lets try be original.

ok here goes.....
