What songs do you want to hear for today's coffee break?

Today's suggestion for the 9:30 Coffee Break comes in from faithful listener Bob, who proposes a set of tunes by bands whose names suggest a "collective." In other words, as Bob says, group-based names, like the so-and-so "unit," or "project," or "outfit."

Put your suggestions in the comments section below and tune in at 9:30 a.m. to hear the tracks we play.
