Thanks to Jaradu for a fantastic idea and a perfect way of keeping bored minds busy!
I tried a hand at cryptic artist descriptions myself, I hope my own musical tastes aren't too glaringly obvious from this! Some of them might refer to artists that were also in the other quiz, I tried to avoid that though. [img]smile.gif[/img]
For those who haven't participated in the other topic, it's very simple: below are fifty cryptic descriptions of artists and bands, it's up to you to guess which ones I meant. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Have fun!!
