Badger made me do it.

Up To Three

I like this meme also, which I shamelessly stole from Badger who totally swiped it from her pal Bookhart.

Sez Badge: "Full rules (be sure to read the comments for the addenda) can be found here, but the gist of it is that you can put UP TO THREE answers for every question. One or two or three is okay. More than three is NOT okay. This was really fucking hard for me in some categories (see below)."

Poison is a hair band. Whoever recorded "Cherry Pie" was a hair band.

I can see where MAYBE, SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE might consider MC a hair band, but at most they straddle the fence.

But, I'm open to being convinced otherwise by sound and reasoned arguments and exposition of evidence.
