Rock Band or Ben and Jerry's Flavor?

Hola! Those of you who've been with the BQT for a long time might recall a game format we don't do much anymore: Stand-Up for Trivia. We get all the players on their feet and play an either-or game; say, "Vice President or Serial Killer?" Hands on your head for VP, hands on your hips for killer, everyone who's wrong sits down, we continue until one player remains, Dick Cheney counted for both (naturally). The kids love it. It's a nifty option for smaller private parties, but a little unwieldy for the massive public-show crowds.

In advance of this Tuesday's big All-Music Edition of the BQT in Philadelphia, I was reminded of "Contemporary Rock Band or Ben & Jerry's Flavor?" (Contemporary, you should know, means a few years ago at this point, though I've updated it a teeny bit.) Answers at the bottom. Rock on/enjoy the sugar!
