Okay, the concept of this one is simple: name a band or artist whose starting letter is the last letter of the previous post’s band. Example: Tragcially Hip Presidents of the United States of America Aerosmith Hanson etc. Note: do not make up names of bands! This is intended as a fun game, and maybe a bit of an educational exercise too: who knows but that we might learn something new! (and not only about our fellow Dopers’ musical tastes and leanings) Yes, you can ask questions about the submission before yours; I’m in a generous mood tonight, so I’ll allow it. 🙂 But remember to submit the next band in the list! 😃 And as for looking in a musical encyclopedia full of bands and other information, please do that only if you can’t think of anything else. (for most letters, this shouldn’t be too much of a problem… nobody better post “Anthrax”, though!) I’ll start: **The Beatles** (“Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” is on the radio as I type this) ---
