Colorful Band Names - The List
Chris Bovitz
Here it is! The listing of all of the bands and singers with color(s)
in their name(s). A total of 423 (see #2 below)
Here's an explanation of how I arrived at this particular listing:
1) Listing in each color group is strictly alphabetical
(except for A, An, and The).
2) Bands with more than one color in their names are listed
in each group that fits and counted twice.
3) If there are any corrections, to this list,
please send them to me, and I'll post the corrections when
the flow of mail slows down.
