Cryptic Music Related Riddles

[Darkstone]

Okay,

I'm day 2 into a long weekend and I'm bored already, so I've come up with this shit.

We can look up anything, anytime on the internet and that's great, but it makes any type of "quiz" redundant. 

Unless, it's a cryptic quiz. 

Cryptic crossword puzzles are the best. Before you can answer the clue, you have to figure out what the clue is.

There are many methods used to encrypt the answer. 

I'll post some when they come to mind and I invite everyone to do the same.

Just a bit of fun.

I'll start with one example...

 

 

There is a huge connection with Heavy Harmonies in this clue, but I'd be surprised if anyone can manage off the top of their head to find it.
