25. UNFAIR.

When I think of the Temps, I consider them a singing group, not a band.

Did they play ANY instruments?

22. According to Wikipedia,

"Traffic was a rock band from Birmingham, England, formed in late 1966 by Steve Winwood with Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood and Dave Mason. The group's distinctive sound, innovative recordings and collaborative songwriting approach influenced many other groups in the progressive rock genre in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Like many other groups of the period, Traffic was heavily influenced by the early recordings of The Band, and they famously imitated them by retreating to a country house in Berkshire England for an extended period, to write and develop their material, before making their live debut."
