Timewasting fun here on NME.COM

It's Friday again, and once again we're wasting time until the pubs open.

Today, in honour of all the British teams in action in the Champions' League footy over the past week, we're thinking of Bands As Champions' League stuff.

OK, so that means anything to do with football, really. But extra respect will be paid to efforts with a definite Champions' League spin.

So far we've come up with:

BarcaLeona Lewis
Desmond Deco
Luzhniki Wire Stadium
Solomon KaLou Reed
Coverage on ITV On The Radio
House Of Champagne
TroFiona Apple


So, can you do better (the answer is probably yes)? Sign in to MyNME below and leave your comments. Enjoy!
