6 is not that obvious
10 is really easy to google, even if you don't know the band

I agree that this is the vaguest question, but I can't really think of another answer than mine, so I'd appreciate if you could post what you were thinking of on the giveaway page when you solve it ^^

Q4, Q6 and Q9 left, really nice puzzle btw, loved Q8 (which was the less obvious one of the ones I solved for me :p )

EDIT1: only Q4 left, getting there

EDIT2: I can't believe how I didn't get Q4 before, too bad I already have the game, fun puzzle nonetheless

I'm curious about Q8, please post what you were thinking of on the giveaway page if you manage to solve it.
Or maybe you forgot to put the first word of the name ? (same first word that Q6)

Yeah I'm stuck on 4 as well. And 2. I feel like 2 is probably super obvious, but I just don't get it. Got all the other ones.
Edit: Hah. Finally got 4. Only number 2 left.
Edit 2: Ok, finally got number 2. Still not sure I get it though, lol.

Same here.
Can't get Q6, there're too many 'nice' band names to choose from http://rateyourmusic.com/list/Ollie/the_greatest__worst__funniest_and_most_offensive_and_outrageous_band_names___ever_/

My country doesn't use anglo-saxon notation either. And there are people who do not know anything about music theory who managed to solve this. Use your Google-Fu.

Q1 is one of the easiest one IMO. Hint relate to their most famous song. Find a word related to hate and a word related to computers and you have the answer.
Q9 is a play on words. The hint should really help you with this one, it gives you the beginning of the answer.

ARGHHH...I stuck on Q6 and Q8 since three days now -.- I guess, that is cause I think to complicated. Search so much and created real good but new bandnames. ;-) I got mad if I can't solve this puzzle :-/

It is possible to find Q6 very easily by googling exactly some of the words I wrote.
I suppose you have done some research on music theory about the meaning of Q8. Now that you now what it means, put it in the context of the hint (you might have to research how that hint functions as well)
