Answer: واحه
I really like that this group put a lot of effort into their b-sides, some absolute gems among their non-album tracks!
500 disturbing points
Nothing quite as disturbing as a perfect score!
500. I rewrote the lyrics of one of their hits for a work talent quest last month.
So these lads were fresh in your mind – I'd be interested in seeing the lyric rewrite!
It's completely full of in-jokes and would make no sense out of the context of work. It was called PandaWall.
I am ashamed to admit I knew enough here to get 500 points.
Even the bands you don't like, you still know enough!
Oh sure. I can't tell you anything important, but ask me about music minutiae!
Nice work Kid Slender!

500. But I lived in Manchester for years.
Well played Jimmy – and I'm envious that you lived there with so many great Mancunian bands!
Nice work Chris!
Well played HMO – hope the new Saxon is treating you well!
Back in the 500 club at last.
And welcome back Bruce!
400 for me as I only knew the other two members not the Paul's.
I suppose the other 2 were a bit more outspoken than the Pauls!
5OOpoints……Do You Know What I Mean…..YEAH YEAH
Deke, Don't go away….without your 500 points this morning!
300 for me today.
Well played D!
500. But you probably guessed I would definitely maybe get this one on the first clue.
I didn't think you'd let those 500 points Slide Away today JP!
Is it my imaginasheeeeeuuun, or did I just win 500 points?
Haha, I wouldn't say that's such a crazy sit-uay-sheeeeeeun Amrita!
Not a fan but I somehow managed to get 500 anyway.
All the more Impressive a score, considering!
500 'cause I love 'em, me.
I feel the same about 'em Mike!
Wow, I guessed right…at 500! The Manchester and date did it…
Well guessed Sarca!
Good work Zack!
Back on the 500 wagon!
Welcome back J!
It's nice to be here!
500 for Mika, 300 for me.

500. Bunch of arses!
I don't disagree!
Surprisingly, it's one of those artists I have no problem separating the artist from the art though
William permalink

Nice work William – and enjoy the music!
Well played tangerinetrees99!
