The Daily Feud: Band Name! by Hockey Monkey [Closed]

Dolores: Don’t feel bad – my entire life I have thought a dipthong was a two-consonant combination sound, & proudly used it that way.

Last night, I found out it’s a two-vowel sound. How embarrassing.

Well, the bad thing is I know the difference. My brain just malfunctioned. It seems like that is happening more and more the older I get.

But now I know what a dipthong is - thanks!

8. The Cream

It’s “Cream” not “The Cream.”

Seems the Beatles counted as an insect after all.

I meant “KISS”! Why did I type “Queen”!?

@Gala Matrix Fire

1You know several band names would fit into multiple categories. . . . Average White Band - band in the name, color . . .

They could also be an acronym since they were also known as “AWB” at times.

[Baker]

I’m going to have to sit this one out, I just don’t know bands well enough. But without looking I do want to predict the one answer I do know, that I think will be a conch.

#10 has got to be KISS, right?

@SSG Schwartz

5. Oink Floyd

Band name!

[Hockey_Monkey]

This one has been fun to read. **SSG ** Schwartz, I got a kick out of Oink Floyd too. I didn’t even put the Beatles for the insect/arachnid one even though I should have. I wanted to go with Steve Miller Band for number 1, and flirted with putting ABBA for the acronym. I thought this one might score pretty low simply for the sheer volume of possible responses, but there are a couple which have clear winners.

Thanks for doing these Dolores!
