Thanks, **pink kitten** , for starting up the Band Name Synonym Game in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=72138)! (Thanks also for turning many of us into hopeless addicts… 😉 ). It grew so fast and furious that the original was closed due to length, but Eutycus invited us to continue in a new thread, so here it is! **Brief recap of rules:** Create a synonym for a popular band, and people will try to guess them. (i.e. The Simians = The Monkees) ## I’ll step in for **DMC** and start with the updated list of unanswered clues from the previous thread. If somebody guessed yours _wrong_ on the old thread, please be sure to add it back in. **Still Pending** River Bed In Egypt Very Wide Forefront Cafeteria Highfalutin Herb The Lonely Seducer Vacuum Detached Stoners Big Score Pleasantry Appalling Isthmuses Pallet Argument cardio-workout gullwing-car Explosive Powder Strainer Fakers Energy Conduit Paunch RFK Challengin’ ?
