    It's the first mention of every number not every answer.

    I apologise and will immediately fall on my sword. Being at work and not paying that much attention I was under the impression it was just a bit of fun. My mistake.

    You know Starbase 109?!? That's a blast from the (reasonably recent) past for me
    Funnily enough, we were only talking about them in the pub yesterday. Apparently they've split up and one of them has had a sex change.
    What started that conversation? Were people talking about bands who used piston engines on stage or something?

    ;-)
  • Sixpence none the richer

    Watch out or some tireless no mark will be on your back for missing any earlier references. Wish we had the time to read every word of ebery thread.
  • The High Numbers, sold out the Valley twice
  • there's a Norwegian band called Infinity

    Damn, beat me to it.

    4 Poofs and a Piano

    Maroon 5

    MC5

    Generation X / Gen X (yes, I know it's 'X' and not 'ten', but it could be taken as 'ten')

    Similarly, The XX, known to some as The Twenty, and XCX, which would be 100 if it really was (bad) Roman numerals.

    Lord Rockingham's Eleven

    Tenpole Tudor

    13th Floor Elevators

    30 Seconds to Mars

    Athletico Spizz 80

    808 State

    10,000 Maniacs

    Finally, it's a record not a band, Imaginary Numbers by Tom Rizzo, but I figured it was worth mentioning.
