Any bands, from anywhere, ever. .
I meant- is this world-wide popularity or US popularity?
If you see a disparity between your answer for the US only, versus the world, then go ahead and say "In the US, XYZ, but worldwide, ABC".
I guess for the folks in other places, like the UK contingent, a local answer would look more like "In the UK, XYZ, but worldwide, me mum".
Built into the game is your own personal perception. If you wanna be a guy who looks up record sales tracking charts and uses that as your barometer, then that'll give a somewhat more objective answer. I think whoever you are, where you live, what your media inputs are, that will color your perception.
Like, an avid Pitchfork reader might think some band is popular that I never heard of, like they would have with Franz Ferdinand a few years ago... There's a lot of bias based on one's look at the world. That is a good part of this game, I think. People might not answer Pixes vs Fugazi the same way, depending on where they are and what they see around them.
