@suzzer99

[suzzer99]

Fuck it let’s do it. It will distract me from this awful game.

Category host name: suzzer

Category: Supergroups (but not the kind you’re thinking of)

Category definitions: Ok, here’s the game: I want you to put together two bands/artists where the end of one artist’s name flows into the beginning of another.

For example:

• Clint Black Sabbath
• U2 Live Crew
• Peaches and Herb Alpert
• Captain and Tennille Young
• Blood, Sweat and Tears for Fears (I don’t mind giving this one away because I hate Blood, Sweat and Tears)

If you can somehow figure out how to string three artists together, feel free. Verbal puns. alternate spellings, acronyms, and partial words are all allowed. As long as the two artist names share at least one syllable, and flow together from a verbal reading of the printed letters, it will count. I won’t get nitty about pronunciation of stuff like Herb the name vs. herb the plant.

One caveat: one artist’s name cannot be fully enclosed in another. For example Captain BeefHeart does not count, even though Heart is obviously a well known band. An out-loud reading of the name needs to make it obvious that two artists are being combined.

Scoring: You will send me one song from each artist. Scoring will be 1/3 on how much the band name makes me laugh, 1/3 if I think you picked the best song by the two artists, and 1/3 how much I like the two songs. So even if I don’t love the songs, if the supergroup name is funny, and I think you picked the best songs, you’ll do ok.

If you pick artists I’ve never heard of, I’ll just do half funniness and half how much I like the songs, since it will be too hard to judge if it’s the artist’s best song.

My examples would all rank very high on the funny scale FWIW. Generally the less the two artists have in common, the funnier the juxtaposition. At least based on me and my stoned friends when we giggled all night coming up with these things 25+ years ago.

Musical tastes: I’m pretty all over the map, especially for this category. I’ll give a lot of latitude for stuff like Young Country that I’m not normally into.

Reminder (for me mostly)

Cate Le Bon Iver

That was my best alternative I didn’t get to use

[CanadaMatt3004]

I had an alternative but cant remember it now

[CanadaMatt3004]

Oh also @eyebooger. I was Bad Religion and that was my joker. Is a sad day

[suzzer99]

I think I’m just going to mush best song and song likability into song likability. Almost none of you gave what I consider the best song by a band I know. But if someone did hit the best song I’ll give a bonus.

[Yuv]

lol are you doing the ranking now?

[suzzer99]

Yeah 1-20 for funny and 1-20 for songs - 1-10 for each song (or 1-7 for the case of 3 songs - which earns a bonus for extra credit).

[Rivaldo]

[Yuv]

i’m not questioning your ranking methods (yet), it’s just that us normies do the ranking and then once we finalized it we do the reveal.

[Rivaldo]

Chiefs are metriculating tf outta the ball to open this 2nd half

[suzzer99]

That’s what I’m doing.

[suzzer99]

I’d like to thank you all for forcing me to mute the Chiefs game. Much more enjoyable.

[crash_face]

I would have gone with “Cher Supply” to punish you for the category

[suzzer99]

All right - our last place finisher…
