[VargReallyDidNothingWrong]

Literally any stoner rock/metal band name. It's some permutation of "green", "wizard", "bong", "weed", "electric", "smoke" and like 4-5 other words.

Electric Wizard, Electric Bong, Electric Smoke, Weed Wizard, Weed Bong, Bong Weed, Electric Bong

And so on.

The Verve = U.K. band that was somewhat big in the 90's, sounded similar to Oasis. Got screwed over in a huge copyright battle.
The Verve Pipe = American rock band that was mildly successful around the same time in the 90's, and had a handful of hits.

The Who = U.K. rock band part of the British Invasion, innovators of heavy rock and eclectic stage antics.
The Guess Who = Canadian rock band that was successful in the late 60's/early 70's before losing its key members who reformed to create iconic Canadian rock band Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

Blue Oyster Cult = American progressive hard rock band that was big in the 70's, toured with iconic classic rock acts like KISS and Black Sabbath.
The Cult = British heavy rock band that was mildly successful in the 80's around the time of Guns 'N Roses, had a few big hits, and heavily inspired by 60's rock like The Doors.

Quiet Riot = Heavy rock band that was mildly successful in the early 80's, released an iconic album, but failed to recapture its initial success.
Riot = Early British heavy metal band from the 70's who had minor success in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement, and used a seal as a mascot for some reason.

Attila = Billy Joel's first foray into music, which was an experimental psychedelic acid rock duo releasing a single album in the late 60's (think of a poor-man's Iron Butterfly). Billy Joel has distanced himself from the band and is embarrassed by it.
Attila = Obscure American heavy metal band in the 80's with a sound similar to W.A.S.P.

Soundgarden = Heavy grunge band from Seattle who rose to prominence in the early 90's during the alternative rock movement.
Savage Garden = Australian pop band from the 90's, one hit wonder.

The Zombies = British rock band in the 60's, had a few big hits. Keyboardist Rod Argent went off to start a psychedelic rock band in the 70's called Argent which had Christian themes.
White Zombie = American alternative metal band with shock rock elements, inspired by Alice Cooper. Mildly successful in the 1990's, but most notably for launching the career of frontman Rob Zombie.

Silverstein: Forgotten early 00s emo band.
Silvertide: Forgotten early 00s rock band.
