What's your favorite band that you have to put "band" in parentheses after when wikipediaing them...?

I'm thinking Prince, but my mind's not where it should be today, so for all I know this applies to my favorite band of all time that I'm just forgetting.

Did you know, Mamasamba, that the word prince derives from the Latin word "princeps"?

Journey.

Wouldn't say they're my favorite... but I was looking for something by them on ebay and it took awhile because the word "journey" is a part of some other bands' names, too!

Haha! Here's what wiki had to offer... at least the band is the 2nd choice:

A journey is a trip or voyage. It can also refer to:

* Journey (band), an American rock band

o Journey (album), their 1975 debut album

o Journey (video game), an arcade game which featured the band

o Journey Escape, a video game for the Atari 2600, which also featured the band

* Journey (film), a short film written and directed by Christine Shin

* Journey (1995 film), a 1995 TV film

* Journey (W-inds. album), an album by Japanese band w-inds

* Journey (computer game), a 1989 computer game

* Journey: The Adventures of Wolverine MacAlistaire, a comic by William Messner-Loebs

* Journey 3-D, a 2008 3D film adaptation of Journey to the Center of the Earth

* Dodge Journey, a 2009 mid-sized "crossover" vehicle, the brand's first

The Scorpions.

Scorpions are predatory arthropod animals of the order Scorpiones within the class Arachnida. There are about 2,000 species of scorpions, found widely distributed south of about 49° N, except New Zealand and Antarctica. The northernmost part of the world where scorpions live in the wild is Sheerness on the Isle of Sheppey in the UK, where a small colony of Euscorpius flavicaudis has been resident since the 1860s. The word scorpion derives from Greek σκορπιός - skorpios

Oasis

People who live in an oasis use every bit of land. Water has to be used carefully; the fields must be irrigated to grow plants like dates, figs, olives, and apricots. The most important plant in an oasis is the date palm which forms the upper layer. These palm trees provide shade for smaller trees like peach trees, which form the middle layer. By growing plants in different layers, the farmers make best use of the soil and water. Many vegetables are also grown and some cereals, such as wheat, barley and millet are grown where there is more moisture.

Queen :-)

BA ~ * Queen regnant, a female monarch, equivalent to the male title king; she is referred to informally in the third person as "The Queen." Today's monarchs often referred to as such include:

o Beatrix of the Netherlands

o Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms

o Margrethe II of Denmark

* Queen consort, the wife of a reigning king without equal power

* Queen dowager, a former queen consort whose husband has died

* Queen mother, either a queen dowager, or a queen regnant who has abdicated, whose son or daughter has become the monarch

Yup, I don't really understand a word of that so I can't claim that I've "learned" it but hopefully someone will learn something new from this :P

I HAVE to do that for incubus because the word incubus is actually a demon that has sex with woman while they are sleeping and thats weird because there music is NOTHING like ther name and i mean NOTHING LIKE THAT! sometimes weird demonic pictures come up and there pretty much border line pornographic. i told my parents that i love the band incubus and i want thier new cd coming out so they typed in incubus on google and the first thing they saw was the definition of incubus and now they think that the music i listen to is demonic. and they wont buy the cd either.

LOL I've gotten to the point where I always put "band", just to be safe.

MQ-Neurosis

BQ-after doing a generic search for Neurosis on Wikipedia, I've come to the conclusion that I have issues.

Kansas

Kansas has 627 incorporated cities. By state statute, cities are divided into three classes as determined by the population obtained "by any census of enumeration." A city of the third class has a population of less than 5,000, but cities reaching a population of more than 2,000 may be certified as a city of the second class.

Gojira

Tool, definitely

Immortal comes up with a lot

After the Burial

Black Dahlia Murder

Abigail Williams

There exists a Fellowship of Isis that is "devoted to promoting Awareness of the Goddess". Very strange!
