A-Z: A band for every letter!

[apsham]

We've done these before, so you know the drill.. but if you don't, here's a basic explanation. Everyone loves to show off their musical tastes, so this is a thinly veiled way to do it. One bad for each letter of the alphabet... but I mean, if the band is a "The" group, you can go with whatever comes after (eg, The Beatles could go under B... and so on and so forth. Pretend you are WinAmps music library). I'll get the ball rolling with whatever I'm feeling like today... oh and before I start, I'm just scanning my library so if one band seems out of place it's probably the one that I feel MOST comfortable putting in there;

A: Atom And His Package

B: Blink 182

C: Crowded House

D: Dragonforce

E: Every Time I Die

F: The Format

G: Garbage

H: Hellogoodbye

I: I Am The Avalanche
