    Alternative descriptions for band names - NO opposites though!

    Direct alt. descriptions only, no opposites or irony.

    e.g. careful colossus = Gentle Giant, scarlet monarch = King Crimson.

    some easy ones to strt off:

    Rose Pretty Boy
    Tungsten Airship
    Thomas Aircraft
    Stadium
    Triton's Daughter
    The Throttlers
    Iscariot Rabbi
    Beginning

    Pink Floyd is correct. Triton's Daughter had a name & that oneword name is the name of the band I am looking for.
