OK, the following may be a lame attempt by me to create conversation and to mix passion for football with passion for music and to get you all to play along. What I want you to do is to name who you think should be the "Official Band of a particular NFL team.

An obvious easy example would be say: Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles (or as The Dude calls them: the F***ing Eagles)

You can use any criteria you want for your choice. It doesn't have to be a Rock n' Roll band. I suspect The Saints could be the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Whatever you want. I gave a couple of NFC examples, but lets start with the AFC:

I will put in just a few of my own to start with off the top of my head:

Cleveland Browns: The Pretenders. In RRHOF. Led by an Akron girl. (plus, the Browns sometimes play like they are pretending to be an NFL franchise)

Cincinnatti Bengals:

Pittsburgh Steelers:

Baltimore Ravens:

New England Patriots:

New York Jets: The Ramones? They're from NY, aren't they?

Miami Dolphins:

Buffalo Bills:

Indianapolis Colts:

Jacksonville Jaguars:

Tennessee Titans

Houston Texans Archie Bell and the Drells?

Kansas City Chiefs Wilbert Harrison (guy who sang Kansas City)

Denver Broncos

Oakland Raiders...Paul Revere and....

San Diego Chargers

Bengals = The Outlaws

Steelers = Pissed Jeans

Are the Pissed Jeans a real act?

[MudratDetector]

Cleveland Browns: nine inch nails (a band that actually rocks) or ian hunter

Cincinnatti Bengals: outlaws or josie and the pussycats (the movie was 'ggggrrreeaaattt! )

Pittsburgh Steelers: redneck zombies

Baltimore Ravens: poe

New England Patriots: boston

New York Jets: the ramones (they're from queens)

Miami Dolphins: gloria estefan and the miami sound machine (latino fag music)

Buffalo Bills: goo goo dolls (gay, but from buffallo)

Indianapolis Colts: reo speedwagon (?) their early stuff was alright

Jacksonville Jaguars: molly hatchet

Tennessee Titans: arrested development

Houston Texans: zz top

Kansas City Chiefs:

Denver Broncos:

Oakland Raiders: snoop & dr. dre (the chronic is the shit!)

San Diego Chargers

i know all of my answers weren't 'rock bands' but man, this was tough.

[ClevelandFanForLife]

miami dolphins should be cheap trick due to the WildDawg offense being considered a gimmick offense.

[Riffer X]

Browns are Metallica

Stillers are Poison

plain and simple

[Kosar_For_President]

If anyone lists Styx I will kill them.

[The Gipper]

Jacksonville: Lynyrd Skynyrd. (from Jax)

i knew it had to be some southern redneck, black-toothed, bourbon-swiggin' band.

[The Gipper]

Seattle: home of Grunge: Nirvana and Pearl Jam

[Tim Couch Pulls Out]

Carolina Panthers: Hootie and the Blowfish. It's a stretch, they're from South Carolina.

[The Gipper]

I guess the official rock band of Chicago should be Chicago. (though I don't know if the Bears would accept that)

[The Gipper]

Green Bay: Green Day (groans?)

[The Gipper]

Broncos: New Riders of the Purple Sage

[calfoxwc]

I thought Riders of the Purple Sage occured in Idaho.

More likely Utah, but I was just thinking of the fact that it refers to riding a horse. A Bronco is a horse, you know?

[mopaji]

Cleveland Browns: Anvil - Keep plugging away, you'll get your payday

Cincinnatti Bengals: Bad Company

Pittsburgh Steelers: The Circle Jerks

Baltimore Ravens: Godsmack - because they stole Alice in Chains' music an had more success with it.

New England Patriots: David Hasselhoff - because they are loved in some parts of the world but by most, they are just terrible.

New York Jets: The Breakfast Club - Because they use other people's songs to build themselves a following and never thank the original artists.

Miami Dolphins: Gloria Estefan - People down there like them but the love ends at the border

Buffalo Bills: AC/DC - They never get the respect they deserve but every home in America has a place for them in there Ipod

Indianapolis Colts: Aerosmith - Safe, family friendly rock

Jacksonville Jaguars: Cristina Aguilara - Pretty, powerful, unassuming singer that people hardly remember

Tennessee Titans: Red Hot Chili Peppers - All the talent in the world but just keep coming out with a new version of the same song every year. And people still listen

Houston Texans - Poison - All the right influences for good results but you can't help but laugh a little when one of their songs come on.

Kansas City Chiefs: The Who - They can fill a stadium on a Tuesday at 9am but you leave feeling like you just got knocked out and robbed

Denver Broncos: Celine Dion When you hear her, you get a little emotional for a second before lifting your head and saying "get it together poosy"".

Oakland Raiders: LL Cool J. A pioneer who used to be at the top of the game but refused to evolve and now he just worries about what he looks like and pretends to be a rapper

San Diego Chargers: New Metallica - You want to like them but once you hear their new stuff and see how arrogant they are, you really just want to see them fail, hard.
