I'm always one for a bit more levity, so here's a cryptic clue game where the answer is a band.

Now this may not be that original but I did a search and couldn't find one similar. [I promise I did - apologies if it 's been done before or if there is a similar thread already going around]. I had a quick look at existing threads and the Progressive Rebus is very similar, except it uses images so it makes me think that it might be going around already. Anyway....

EXAMPLE 1

Q - Old Testament book of creation.

A - Genesis

[Lame example ,I know]

EXAMPLE 2

Q - Burrowing mammal of similar appearance and proportions.

A - Matching Mole.......[ better]

So, the answerer has to come up with the next cryptic clue to keep it going. The more obscure and crypyic the better!!

Here's another to get us underway.


Q - Enormous creature of quiet and honourable disposition

A -   ??

Have fun.
{ if it's been done or already going around, we'll just give it the old K.O.D}
Looking still the same after all these years...

Okay, this should be quite easy:

Tambourine-shaped metal instrument which when struck with a padded stick emits a loud sonorous note, used as a signal for meals, etc.

There will probably be more than one band for which this description fits. But you probably mean Aphrodite's Child.

Gigantic landmass in prehistorical times. (This one is not easy, I think).
