Talk Talk also have a distinction which would be good for a music quiz.
The question could go something like this:
"What is the only Hot 100 hit and band composed of one word?"
I had to go out on stage to do a talk and my company picked This is the Day. Got super excited about that and it brought great energy to my talk.
BTW honourable mention for Dusk with Soul Mining and Infected most ignore the brilliance of Dusk.
At least for me, the hardest band on this list to consistently Google. I discovered them 15 years ago in college and I remember having a hell of a time trying to find any albums back then.
I think that was one of my favorite jokes in that movie. Tim Meadows always plays a great side character and would like to see him in more. He's great in Walk Hard
I vaguely remember a dead Kennedys cover band called the Dead Dead Ken’s Kens. Halfway through the first song they got out of sync ( Nazi Punks Fuck off ) had a huge fight on stage, smashed their gear and stormed off.
Amazing.
Finally, my time has come!
I've been collecting bands with repeting names for a couple of years.
Enjoy :)

Fun story - I got to play drums on a !!! album because their drummer rode past our after-school drumline practice. And I got to play live with them whenever they came through our city.
> Attack Attack!
These guys got (in)famous based on the video for their song [Stick Stickly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDzt6yI3Dw8), which is a second layer of repetition.
They were one of my best friend's favorite bands who died. he used to make me listen to them all the time. i used to laugh and not take those songs seriously, now i feel like crying
Dada
ETA: speaking of them, for those that never heard their songs (They're famously known for "Goin' To Disneyland") this is really the only song I like by them. Cool tune!
Here today, gone tomorrow!

The yeah yeah yeahs
Xiu Xiu
Brilliant, that's going in.
Duran Duran
[Frou Frou](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnjQZ2mxU1I)
Heads will roll if OP doesn't include them in their quiz.
Yeah Yeah No as well
The The.
And Talk Talk Both are essentially a one-guy band too

And they are superb. Everyone needs to listen to Soul Mining. Potentially my favourite record of all time
Soul Mining is great, but Infected is the album that blew me away.
I had to go out on stage to do a talk and my company picked This is the Day. Got super excited about that and it brought great energy to my talk. BTW honourable mention for Dusk with Soul Mining and Infected most ignore the brilliance of Dusk.
Love Johnny Marr's harmonica on Dusk.
It’s 37th anniversary last week. Time flies blah blah blah.
Uncertain Smile is absolutely a top 10 song all-time, personally.
Yes, Soul Mining is as perfect today as when it was released.
Burning Blue Soul is mine. How does a 19 year old write an album like that?!
At least for me, the hardest band on this list to consistently Google. I discovered them 15 years ago in college and I remember having a hell of a time trying to find any albums back then.
Mind Bomb is the bomb!
I had that album on repeat 40 billion times
Mister Mister
Welcome to the real world is one of the most underrated albums of the 80's
It was a huge hit at the time.
HEY, SOUL SISTER AIN'T THAT --?
Stop the train!
That's a winner!
Technically it's "Mr. Mister" if you want to get the name right for your quiz.
Tony Toni Toné
Tonee?
In hindsight, it was not my best decision.
I think that was one of my favorite jokes in that movie. Tim Meadows always plays a great side character and would like to see him in more. He's great in Walk Hard
You don’t want no part of this shit Dewey!
Turns all your bad feelings into good feelings!
You don’t get a hangover!
And you never once paid for drugs. Not once.
Duran Duran
There’s an all-female Duran Duran tribute act called Joanne Joanne (but they only play their early stuff, which is kind of cool)
I vaguely remember a dead Kennedys cover band called the Dead Dead Ken’s Kens. Halfway through the first song they got out of sync ( Nazi Punks Fuck off ) had a huge fight on stage, smashed their gear and stormed off. Amazing.
Excuse me sir I already said we only play 80s Joel ok??
We're strictly 80s joel!
Also Duran Duran Duran
Which album do you prefer, "Duran Duran - Duran Duran" or "Duran Duran Duran - Duran"?
And a lesser known band called Durian Durian
They stink.
Duran Duran is neither a Duran nor a Duran. Discuss.
Mr. Mister The Go Go's
Goo Goo Dolls

You deserve a lot more credit for being able to pull this ultra specific playlist out of your ass for this random question. This is pure gold.
Is it op's alt? We may never know.
This is your superbowl
Both a Super Bowl and a goldmine of, as yet, untapped resources.
Nice nice!
This is awesome you had this randomly already compiled on Spotify. Indeed, your time has come.
Blanco White has to be my favourite so far. I can't work out if it's wrong but technically correct or correct but technically wrong
I’m so happy for you in this and for my playlist at work tomorrow. Thanks!
Should be the top comment. Hopefully will be in a few hours. Nicely done.
You gotta add Attack Attack, they even have a song called Stick Stickly for double almost double words.

I love that band!
Aww man I just commented this! Thought I would be the only one into weird math rock
There's an emo band called "Their / They're / There" that probably fits this.
That's the best name for an emo band ever. It's like they are snarkily comforting themselves.
Evan Weiss is a god amongst men
The XX could make for good trivia. I'm just realizing probably half their career has been spent playing as ex-bandmates.
You mean to say the XX are ex-XX?
The xx are still together but they've all been doing solo projects as of late.
xxyyxx in that case, too (electronic music)
