I’ve just spent my dinner time trying to explain to Mrs F why Argent were not a metal band. Which got me thinking, who would be in the lineup of a nominative determinism Metal act?
Andrew Gold, Horace Silver, Dave Bronze
Over to the AW hive mind…

Barium Manillow made me giggle.
Always happy to indulge in periodic table comedy.
Let’s do the inert gases next….
The Neon Boys!
Cobalt Stargazer
Mick Rutherfordium
😀
If they all got together, would they be headlining the London Palladium?
You’re on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Backing vocals from The Copper Family.
Lawrencium – out of Felt…
ROD Argent. Metal tendance surely? Also, isn’t Mrs. F French? Rod Silver is quite métal?
Yes, it was the argent/silver thing which set the (idle) train of thought.
Tribute band: Lead Zeppelin
Dave Vanadium
A whole dinner time? You spoil that girl.
The dark evenings fly by in the wilds of South Cambs.
Casino Steel, although that is his stage name.
They could record a couple of Kraftwerk covers – Uranium and Titanium
And McCartney’s Magneto And Titanium Man
Chuck Beryllium.
Beryl Lium sounds to me like a stage name for a backing singer.
Donny Osmium
is the extant omission of Nickelback deliberate, perchance?
Iron & Wine
Tin Machine
Michael Steele (Bangle)
Alice Copper
Iron Sexsmith, which does like someone doing reggae cover versions.
Erbium Alpert & His Tijuana Brass?
France Gallium
Randy Rhodium
Bryan Fermium
Lipp zinc
Very good, BC.
Chrome Molly
Iron Maiden, Iron Butterfly and Iron & Wine are knocking at the door – they want to cover an Alanis Morrisette song.
There must be some in here.
and what the hell is Michael Gove doing in the audience at 1:53?
You can have all of the above but you may well need a Smith to knock them into shape.
I nominate Robert Smith!
I’ve got a whole band of them over here, though two of them are refusing to talk to each other.
Have we had Selenium Gomez yet…?
Used to make Ronnie James Diodes.
I’ll show myself out.
Bryan Ferrous
Tin Turner
Antimony Newley
Rhodium Stewart
Crikey, Leeds, I’ll have what you’re having.
Pewter Gabriel
Very good.
I’m most proud of Tin Turner. Ideally produced by Laurie Latham.
This looks somewhat egotisitcal here. It was supposed to the reply to your comment to me….
Tanita Titanium.
Big Bill Bronzey
Alloy Blacc
Tung-Stan Ridgway
Zinc Floyd.
Tiny Tin.
Zinc Floyd might well be the winner. I’ll have my secretary post a book token to Squeezer towers.
Alloy Campbell’s UB 40, and others up the same alloy.
Devarda Banhart

Elgiloy John
