total pop quizzery.

Another important aspect of my journey was learning about the house edge and how it impacts my long-term chances. I discovered that the house edge in European roulette is lower than in American roulette, making it a more favorable choice for players. Armed with this knowledge, I started https://yonibet-casino-france.com/ focusing on bets with better odds and lower house edges, such as even-money bets like red or black. Additionally, I set a budget for my sessions and stuck to it, which helped me enjoy the game without overspending. My advice for those looking to improve their roulette game is to research the game variations and betting systems, and to always play within your limits to ensure a fun and responsible experience.

 

 

 

in general terms, i think a band name contributes a lot to a band's success. most people are shallow enough that they aren't willing to tell other people that they are a fan of a band named the Butthole Surfers or Anal Cunt. maybe those are bad examples, since the particular music of those two bands are so far from the mainstream that they weren't meant to garner a huge fanbase, to begin with, regardless of the band's moniker. i am pretty certain, however, that if a band like, say, Nirvana never changed their name from Pen Cap Chew (or especially Fecal Matter), 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' would have had a much smaller chance of being the anthem of a generation, some 27 years ago..

as for me, i don't really allow myself to be swayed by such trivialities. two of my favorite Rock bands are the Smashing Pumpkins and the Meat Puppets. i allow the music to speak for itself.

 

 

Okay, so here are the solutions:

Deep Purple - Roundabout
Joy Division - Warsaw
King Crimson - Brain
The Offspring - Manic Subsidal
Pink Floyd - The Abdabs
Queen - Smile
Radiohead - On A Friday
Rammstein - Orgasm Death Gimmick
RHCP - Anthem
XTC - The Helium Kidz

I found all those in Martin C. Strong's book "The Great Rock Discographies".

I was also wondering... how important are band names for success? Would Pink Floyd still be considered one of the greatest bands of all time if they were called The Abdabs?

i looked up the answers for the rest, except for King Crimson & RHCP. even wikipedia is no help for them.. at least for the answers you have listed.
apparently, RHCP were originally known as Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem. also, Pink Floyd was also briefly known as Tea Set.
