That will work now since they are about as equally well known as Atomic Kitten (which is to say not very).

Atomic Kitten were very well known in the UK a few years back. I didn't know that they were even heard of at all in the US though

It seems it's only bands where part of their name is an animal. There are loads of bands that are just the animal name. The Beatles, The Monkees, The Byrds, Eagles, The Houstmartins, The Turtles, Budgie, Camel, The Cats

To be pedantic, a monkee is not an animal (nor is a beatle, or a byrd).

To be practical, "The _______" isn't much of a clue as to which band is wanted

neither is a leppard, but it's on the quiz. Though I do agree that The ______ is a bad clue and those bands shouldn't be on this quiz

^ good point, and I just noticed that the instructions say that the quiz includes 1 misspelled animal, which could easily be increased to include more

Wonder how many people got "The Arctic Monkeys" because they were expecting "The Monkees" to be on the quiz and typed it in without looking.

Since angels were identified as an animal on another quiz featured today you could add How to Destroy Angels

Hah we must ve done the same quiz (what are the odds, ow wait, quite high ;) ) I saw the debatable inclusion of angels on another quiz, so when I ran out of ideas I tried it here. I am sure there are many bands with the word angels or demons in them.
