I was gonna take Zendaya if I did Z just for the reading material and album cover....assuming there was one.

 

[Yo Mama]

Whole lotta Rob Zombie songs to choose from.

When I was younger, I dug White Zombie a bit.

Sweeten the ride, black sunshine -- sweeten the ride

 

[northern exposure]

If I can't use this one, I'll have to scratch a Z choice because I can't think of another one. Sorry, I missed your pick.

If I hadn't been able to steal ZZ Top or The Zombies, I had a backup plan of OH favorite Zeni Geva. @Pip's Invitation , sure, they sound like shouty homeless guys, but Japanese shouty homeless guys.

Not big on lyrics are they?
My nephews have a band called Tides Of Kharon. They are classified as melodic death metal. I can't get past the screaming lead singer. So, I'm the old, out of touch Uncle.

True. I think Dragula is the only one I could name though.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Thanks for doing that Northern Exposure. Much appreciated.
I was gonna do a reserve list, but my focus is elsewhere lol.
Suzi Quatro was going to be my Q, but more likely one of the earlier Glam songs that were huge in the UK and Australia. Either that or Quantum Jump and Lone Ranger. Plenty of choice actually at Q.

Last one. More Canadian content here! Some of these letters were a real challenge.

X was a tough one. Had to land on this song. Probably best known from a Jeep commercial.

Apparently Country is frowned upon in these drafts. I'm not a big Country fan,but I won't apologize for liking Mr. Yoakam (and a few others). It was difficult for me to narrow it down to just one song.

Another really tough letter. I think I did it though.

I took Zedd, but I’m not sure if this is different due to the features/co-artists

If I can't use this one, I'll have to scratch a Z choice because I can't think of another one. Sorry, I missed your pick.

Doh! I just realized I missed an obvious Z pick. Zamfir = Master of the pan flute!
I experienced the childhood trauma of TV commercials for his albums (also people named Boxcar Willie and Slim Whitman).
And kids think they have it tough these days!
