What came first? The band name or the song title? Help us create a set a music where the band/artist name is the same as one of their own songs.
For example, Black Sabbath "Black Sabbath."

Songs we played:
Free Energy "Free Energy"
Bo Diddley "Bo Diddley"
M.I.A. "M.I.A."
Wilco, "Wilco (The Song)"
Talk Talk "Talk Talk"
Big Country "In a Big Country"

Sigur Ros has a song called "Sigur Ros" on their
album "Von". It's weird and I don't like it.

Spacehog-"Spacehog."

This Bowie-influenced glam revival act is one of the more unjustly forgotten bands of the '90's. I would LOVE to hear them on the radio again!
