In the historical series of great games, Big%20smile

Can you cite a music band whose name is a palindrome ?

(A palindrome is a word that can be written th same in both senses)


I begin with the islandic band Múm...

This will probably only work for bands who use acronyms as names.

A palindrome of sorts is the logo of the band "Angel". If rotated by 180 degrees, you can read the name "Angel" again.

A-ha?
 
P.S.: many palindrome texts are uncommon and non-natural, even when they are interesting. In Portuguese we have a good palindrome, totally natural:
 
"anotaram a data da maratona" (they scheduled the date for the marathon).Smile

German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer invented the palindrome "Ein Neger mit Gazelle zagt im Regen nie", which translates as "A negro with a gazelle never fears in the rain". Mark that the word "negro" was not political incorrect at that time; nowadays one would say "ein Schwarzer", "a black man".
And of course there is the first palindrome ever, the first words Adam spoke to Eve: "Madam, I'm Adam!"

The wonderful Evereve - the band that released one of the most overlooked classic works of art of the past decade:
