PopEx ≫ 2000 ≫ Matchbox Top Twenty

A top twenty of band names, the competition is over...

When we added Matchbox Twenty to popEx, there was competition about giving a top twenty list of bands with the top twenty in their name. Well, Jon Marsh won. Though not a Matchbox Twenty related prize, which must make him a happy man... Here's his entry:

• KRS-One
• 2 Live Crew
• 3 Doors Down
• The Four Tops
• Ben Folds Five
• Six Feet Under
• Seven
• Stand Up Eight
• Stroke 9
• Ten
• Eleven Eleven
• Twentyone Twelve
• 13th Floor Elevators
• Fourteen Hundred And One
• Fifteen
• Sixteen Deluxe
• E -17
• Eighteen Visions
• Nineteen
• Matchbox 20

If anyone has any information that indicates any of these bands were made up purely for this competion, please let me know, otherwise I'm going to send this guy a prize...

The content here originally from my very popular (in the late '90s) website popex.com. Some of this written by other people, so mainly originally created by me. I replicated this content here when popex finally closed down in the early '00s. Hopefully this brings back memories (assuming you find it).
