Basically, there's a drinking game called Ring of Fire (might be familiar to some of you) where you pick one card at a time to signify what mini-game you'll have to decide who drinks etc. One of these cards is Categories, which basically means you choose a group of something, then everyone has to pick something within that group. Quick example would be 'Films with Tom Cruise in' and you'd name Vanilla Sky, Top Gun, etc, and whoever guesses incorrectly first would drink. So far this has nothing to do with music, bear with me.

Eventually we just start doing tons of music ones, which gets quite fun, to the point where we ignore the game and just play categories with music continuously, 'songs with _____ in', 'bands beginning with _____', etc etc. Thought it could possibly work on here, don't see why not.

Might as well establish some rules while I'm at it:

1. No double posting
2. One answer per post
3. If 24 hours elapses after the last answer, whoever answered last may pick a new category
4. Try not to be too obscure
5. It's pretty pointless, but no googling answers, if it dies, it dies, let it go

Think I explained that well enough, hopefully EricF nor Wilhelm Ryan see any problems with this?
