it just dawned upon me, most of the bands in the 50s-70s are named after living things...

The Beatles,
The monkees...

i can name more, but like the anticipation. :happy-smileygiantred:

also in the 90's they named a couple of vegetables/fruits...

Cranberries
Smashing pumpkins
Blind Melon...

70's bands? The Beatles formed in 1960 and broke-up in 1970. The Monkees were active from 1966 to 1971

I didn't realize it was a specific topic to a specific decade. So is it animals in the 70s, food in the 90s, No love for the 80s ? What's going on here?

80's? All the band names had lots of "Y"s and "Z"s in them. ;)
