We received an interesting suggestion for today's 9:30 Coffee Break. Listener Matthew, in Minneapolis, wrote in with the theme "bands with names usually known by their initials." So, bands that have a full name, but due to the name's length or their fans discretion, they are typically known by their initials.

What songs would you like to hear from bands with full names that are usually known by their initials? What would you like to hear?

Songs Played:

ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) "Sweet Talkin' Woman"

OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark) "Secret"

CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival) "Travelin' Band"
