Intermission: Musical Mix and Match

This is a little game I invented while I was stuck on the freeway back in 2006 (in other words, pretty much all of 2006). How it works: use the names of bands active between 1950 and the present day, and match them up in interesting ways. Just one commute gave me the following. Mind you, almost all of these performers have charted at least once, and have at least three album releases:

One From Column A	One From Column B
RATT	Poison
Assassin	Dead Kennedys
Genesis	Revelation
DEVO	Evolution
Billy Idol	Stone Temple Pilots
Meat Loaf	Wavy Gravy
The B-52's	Napalm Death
Queen	Prince
Paul Revere and the Raiders	Boston
KISS	The Flaming Lips
REM	Dream Academy
Pink Floyd	The Moody Blues
The Black Eyed Peas	Korn
The Originals	The Replacements
Styx	The Rolling Stones
Adam and the Ants	Black Flag
B5	Night Ranger
MC Hammer	Nine Inch Nails
Revolver	The Automatic
Simple Minds	No Doubt
The Vandals	The Village People
The Beach Boys	The Commodores
Orbital	The Georgia Satellites
Deep Purple	The Indigo Girls
Natalie Merchant	The Communards
Hiroshima	Megadeth
The Police	Firehouse
Eagles	Wings
Dire Straits	Millionaires
Three Dog Night	Cat Stevens
Jefferson Airplane	Grand Funk Railroad
The Cars	Traffic
The Monkees	Bananarama
The Beatles	Eddie Rabbit
The Dwarves	They Might Be Giants

Just one of the things my mind does when it gets bored...
