Songs By Bands With Four-Letter Names, Vol. 2

Here's another entry in my latest series of posts which are, at least partly, your fault. (You know who you are.) Or to your credit. Depending on how well you like the songs within. Volume 2 consists of another 20 songs by bands with four letters in their names. If your favorite band/artist didn't make this list, perhaps it was in Volume 1. (If you missed that one, you can read it here. If you submitted a 4-letter solo artist (not a band), those will be in a third and final post, which is also on the horizon. Enjoy!  ~  JH
