The official game doesn't say "find the bands," so much as "exercise your music muscle." If you're going to diss the site at least diss the right person. Instead of "whoever came up with this" you can go ahead and say "mike d, you're an idiot for relaying the wrong rules." Lastly, I feel I should mention that mikedidonato .com is probably not the best website to read if semantics are critical to your enjoyment of a Music Knowledge find the band game. Nice job ruining the fun!

Several of the names on the list are individuals, not bands. Sometimes split hairs make all the difference.
