TWB - Three Word Bands

The other day, while listening to XM, they played BTO, followed by CCR, followed by ELO, and it got me thinking.... is it possible that there's a three word band name for every letter of the alphabet?

If so, I'll bet the Otters will know them all.

So here are the rules:
1 - Starting with A and working through the alphabet to Z, name a three word band.
2 - Band names comprised of someone's proper name, with or without the word "Band", do not count (so no, Dave Matthews Band or John Cougar Mellencamp)
3 - For the letter T, you can't use a band starting with "The"....

I'll kick it off...

A = Average White Band

If they've got an album w/them doing music, I'd say they count.


They count.

do you just want a list or is this some sort of game? I mean, do you want us to go twice in a row if we know?

Sure, go ahead with multiple bands, just submit each via a different post.

...heck, I should've thought to have folks name a three word band, and a three word album by that band, and a three word song on the three word album...

That's five words.... Yes, "of" and "the" count. All of them count.
