Time and A Word...

Well, more like 30 words. Or 30 bands, to be specific. As an addendum (of sorts) to the previous post, I thought I'd have a little fun and get these great bands out there once again. The bands are listed horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, and are forwards and backwards. Check out the list below the letters for the band names hidden within.

Top Ten (and others) - Obscure Bands

Some of you may know these bands, but I'm guessing that most people haven't heard of them or at least aren't very familiar with them. It's an interesting mix that includes bands from all over the world, including four U.S. bands in the top ten. The top ten list includes three albums from this decade that definitely deserve your notice, while the notable releases are predominantly from the 1970s and 80s.

If you'd like more information on any of these bands, post a comment below or in the chat box on the right and I'll get back to you.
