Hope you all enjoyed trying to figure these out! Our band-name-abbreviations quiz inspired a few comments (thanks!), so it seems like some folks did have fun with it.
For those of you who haven't taken the quiz yet, and still want to try, we're going to put the answers in the comments section, below. So you can still go try the quiz (to be found in a previous blog post from yesterday) without having accidentally glimpsed any of the answers yet.
Since yesterday, we also thought of a bunch more band initials we could have used, there's so many more... Ferinstance: VU, VBS, ZP, ZG, ANP, COF, JSBX, TGOS, BIN!, and of course WITTR.

6. DSO = Deathspell Omega
7. TITD = Today Is The Day
8. BBA = Black Boned Angel
9. BOTD = Bible Of The Devil
10. 6FS = Six Finger Satellite
11. RFTC = Rocket From The Crypt

34. SRS = Steven R. Smith
35. YLT = Yo La Tengo
36. FOB = Fall Out Boy
37. SBHOTM = Sunburned Hand Of The Man
38. ATHOTW = At The Head Of The Woods
39. BTC = Black To Comm
40. BPB = Bonnie Prince Billy
41. VDGG = Van Der Graaf Generator
42. TFUL282 = Thinking Fellers Union 282
43. W&C = Windy & Carl
44. B&S = Belle & Sebastian
45. IAS = I Am Spoonbender, and/or I Am Seamonster (another twofer)
46. AMF = A Minor Forest

48. WCPAEB = West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band
49. DMBQ = Dynamite Masters Blues Quartet
50. MGR = Mustard Gas and Roses
The last two, DMBQ and MGR, were kind of trick questions. Japan's DMBQ used to be called Dynamite Masters Blues Quartet, but at some point along the way, they simply changed their name to DMBQ, initials only. And while MGR (a solo project from one of the Isis dudes) does stand for Mustard Gas and Roses, the band's name is simply MGR, as far as we know.
deathspell omega is a way more awesome dso than what i guessed...
Minor correction: what I meant to type for #42 was Thinking Fellers Union Local 282.
