Michael Jackson once famously sang "It don't matter if you're black or white". And to his credit, he took it so seriously he actually became neither.
But when it comes to band names, well it ruddy does matter. And with so many bands out the with similar sounding names, Bands Only attempts to guide you through the confusion with our quick Black/White band name guide:
Black Kids - US indie-dance band, featuring male-female duel vocals. Try: I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You
White Denim - American garage indie-rock. Try: Let's Talk About It
Black Sabbath - Ozzy Osbourne's UK metallers. Try: Iron Man
White Lies - UK electro-indie in the vein of Joy Division. Try: Death
Black Crowes - Well-established USA hard rockers. Try: Remedy
White Stripes - Detroit blues-rock two-piece, featuring Jack White. Try: Seven Nation Army
Black Keys - US dirty blues-rock two piece, championed by Colin Murray. Try: Same Old Thing
This is not an exhaustive list and there are several more examples out there - but I did think it safe to leave out White Town.

Nice. Some of these I've never heard of though.
