ok,
heres ten more artists/bands that changed, or had their names changed before they became who we now know them:
like bob_32's list,
feel free to make a guess for one or all of the ten listed below,
I will give clues to the ones that aren't guessed within a day or two to maybe make it easier for subsequent guesses
1...STARFISH COLDPLAY[B] (I don't know how why they started with that name?)[/B]
Clue #1: one of the biggest selling artists since 2000
2...NERK TWINS BEATLES[B] (14yo Paul/16yo John were playing in a workingmans bar and didn't have a name, the patrons started calling them Nerk Twins
.............................it as a derogatory name, they later became Silver Beets, Silver Beetles, Quarrymen prior to their more famous name)[/B]
Clue #1: 1960s band
3...DETOURS THE WHO
4...RAVENS KINKS
Clue #1: sibling rivalry
5...FARRIS BORTHERS INXS
6...PIONEERS SMALL FACES (vocalist Steve Marriot was approached by Jimmy Page on three occasions to 'front' his new band Led Zeppelin, Marriot declined
..........................everytime as he was then forming his own followup band, Humble Pie with Peter Frampton)
Clue #1: vocalist turned down offer to front #9 on the list
7...RAIN OASIS
Clue #1: off stage antics often overshadowed the music
8...BLUE BOYS ROLLING STONES
Clue #1: 1960s-present
9...NEW YARDBIRDS LED ZEPPELIN
10...TWO TONES BUDDY HOLLY & THE CRICKETS (they then called themselves The Beetles before settling on their more famous name)
Clue #1: there were more than three of them but only six legs
