A special installment of the Edible/Audible series, a series where we find out what would happen if your favorite band was a food. This one is dedicated to bands that are commonly referred to by their initials. And yes, I realize I recycled one from a previous installment. What are you going to do about it?
CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival) – Pizza Bagel Bites
Although it may seem more fitting to link CCR with some kind of southern (or faux-southern) food, they’re a band based on single servings that generally will go over well any time. Eat a whole album of these and you may not find it to be as appealing.
BTO (Bachman-Turner Overdrive) - Tortilla Chips
Something generic and non-nutritive, and although it is not a requirement for a party, it helps to have them somewhere in the background.
BOC (Blue Oyster Cult) – Potato Skins with Cheese and Bacon
Does it make sense? No. Is it awesome? Yes!
RHCP (Red Hot Chili Peppers) - Microwavable Burrito
Within their career, within a decade, within an album, and even within a song, they can alternate between riffs that are boiling-lava hot and remaining cool and unaffected by the chaos surrounding them. They are a composite of many textures, ingredients, and even of cultures, and most notably, are something that could only come out of LA. Also, fits nicely into a tube sock.

ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) - Mac n' Cheese
Accessible, reminds you of a simpler time, but can still sustain you well through your adult life.
DMB (Dave Matthews Band) - Chili with Okra
Almost sounds like generic Americana music, but there's something definitely off about the texture...
GNR (Guns n’ Roses) – Grape Nuts
Yes, it’s hard to believe, but this was once one of the most popular foods in America.
RATM (Rage Against the Machine) – A triple shot of fair-trade espresso
Politically and socially conscious, still gets you wired as hell
STP (Stone Temple Pilots) – Carob
Tries really hard to taste like the real thing, but just can’t.
NIN (Nine Inch Nails) - Cytomax
Based on principles of organic chemistry, but tastes like it's spent its entire existence in a laboratory and has never seen a tree, or even blue sky. Definitely takes some time to get used to, and with some people, it just never takes.
