Talk:rockband

Geology sense

Having looked at a good number of uses of this sense, I think the appropriate definition would be:

1. A rock formation that encircles a hill or mountain, separating other kinds of terrain that are above and below it.

rockband

Rfv-sense: rock band (band that plays rock). I had a go at citing this, a quick go I'll admit, and couldn't get even one citation. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:57, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

In my Google Books search for "rockband" (in quotes), also quick, I included words: "the" and "music", thus eliminating non-English words (German, Dutch, etc.) and got some hits. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 00:41, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
