Thanks, **3acres** , that makes sense. (I’d forgotten my answer for #3 and thought that was another unique.) ---

Yay, I’m number…50??? Aw, man. Even worse, most of the #1 answers never would have occurred to me. :smack: Technically speaking, neither AC/DC or KISS are acronyms. The notion that the names stand for **Anti-Christ Devil Children** and **Knights In Satan’s Shadow** is an urban legend. ---

As I noted in my pick, I know it’s really not an acronym but I was banking on some people _not_ knowing it. 🙂 ---

I’m surprised The Monkees are the first animal band that comes to mind. The Beatles were definitely the first for me, although I wasn’t sure if the misspelling would hurt until I saw the insect/arachnid one, and I knew Beatles would be top dog there. Then Cat Power drowned out every other animal band in my head (I mentally went through random animals, even eagles, and I couldn’t think of any other bands). My 3 finishes so far are #47, #25, and now #33. I rock! ---

[QUOTE=KGS] Technically speaking, neither AC/DC or KISS are acronyms. [/QUOTE] The urban legend about their name notwithstanding, AC/DC is still an acronym for Alternating Current/Direct Current. ---

[QUOTE=HongKongFooey] The urban legend about their name notwithstanding, AC/DC is still an acronym for Alternating Current/Direct Current. [/QUOTE] Thank you! That’s just what I was about to say. Also, **twicks** , I think “Bee Gees” was short for “Brothers Gibb.” I never really thought about KISS’s name before. I somehow knew it wasn’t an acronym (a special interest of mine), but I wonder, are they the only band to have a name that’s a noun or other regular word, but always in all-caps? You never see it written “Kiss.” ---

1. The Band 2. The Monkeys 3. Cream 4. Whitesnake \* 5. Maroon 5 6. Maroon 5 7. KISS 8. Cream 9. The name of a band with a body part in the name. 10. KISS - I know it’s not a bug - I just can’t think of one. I have 3 sets of matching answers. Extra credit? (smile) ---

So nobody noticed that I put “Nine Inch Nails” in the food question? Or were you all too polite to notice or you are all tough enough to eat nails? ---
