    Posted: June 05 2021 at 16:56
I posted this on facebook a few years ago and so I figured why not post it on here. Not all of these are perfect but I tried my best. I added one just for PA. Here is the original fb post:

Let's play a game. I'll say the name of a made up band who's name is the opposite or almost the opposite(at least different) or maybe it just sounds kind of similar. You have to guess the name of the real band. Not all are prog bands(I had to throw in a few for my non prog friends on here). Here it goes:

1.Little little car
2.White Sunday
3.No
4.Hippopotamus
5.The trucks
6.The criminals
7.Me 1
8.Hedgehog weed
9.The What
10.Blind Tiger
11.The windows
12.The Tree Queens
13.Kirk's mustache
14.Queen magenta
15.King
16.The stationary bones
17.Hostile dwarf
18. Relax (hint: but still get busy with the facts)
19. Shallow blue
20. Orange Awake

If you know all or most of them just pick a few and let others guess the others. That way it's more fun for everyone. Thanks.

I get quite a few of them, but if I post my answers here, I'm afraid I will just spoilt it for everyone else.

Well, you don't have to be paranoid about it. I just didn't want someone to post all of the answers because then there would be nothing left for others to guess. Lol. I've seen it happen before and I've even been guilty of it in the past myself. How about if you just post the first four you know.

Correct for all of them. I'm surprised you got Camel because that's one of the tougher ones on there.

I got most of them, I'll list three.
   Big Big Train
   The Police
   King Crimson.

 I couldn't  figure out 8, 16, or 20?
( Just saw 20 on the previous post)

16 is admittedly rather dumb. Bones doesn't make much sense. That is sort of part of that band's nickname these days though which is why I did it that way.

The game reminded me of this very ridiculous song. Kind of a similar concept:

Well, I guess we can do both at the same time. All I came up with so far with your list is:

Clap your hands say yeah
Can
The Damned
Television

My head might explode before I get the others. LOL

Edit: I just added the Damned.

2 are Black Sabbath
5 are The Cars
7 are U2
9 are The Who
11 are The Doors
16 are Moving Hearts
17 are Gentle Giant
19 are Deep Purple

some of them (3, 14, 15 for example) need no comment.

I actually think I figured out all but one, but a few have been named already.

as to the list of Anders:

And So The Trees
Madness

A few of my own:

1) Geiger Counter
2) Eaglestorm
3) John (I consider this to be a tough one)
4) Enkidu
5) Baroque
6) Lieutenant Before
7) Unregulated Reproduction
8) Tutor Tutor
9) Fat Betty
10) Edward Murdstone
