I came up with this quiz tonight. First I asked myself how to describe a band in three words most strikingly. Then I thought why not turn the thing around and make a game out of it:

Try to describe a band or an artist with three words (adjectives, nouns, verbs or a mix of them) and let the others guess whom you meant.

First person getting it right can continue the game with three words.
