How about The David Mayfield Parade? Mayfield's face was shown as Icculus at the Phish show in Charlotte last June. Not one of the 12 Titans, but a diety in Phish lore anyway. Mayfield is also a brand of ice cream.
Your answer really has nothing to do with Titans and he implied via twitter it's not about ice cream.

One thing I keep thinking of that comes in a bazillion and one different flavors is Kit Kats - I was thinking it earlier before we got to the point of our flavor thing sometimes being crunchy and sometimes not, which I think rules out Kit Kats, unless one of those crazy Japanese flavors somehow isn't crunchy. But I figured I'd mention it anyway just in case it makes someone else think of something else or whatever.
Mars is a company that makes a variety of candies in various flavors. Some of them are crunchy and have nothing to do with ice cream.
Yeah, I got that. But like I said, those aren't flavors. Those are just...different candies. Varieties, maybe, although to be honest even that word implies more similarity than I think is actually seen in the entire spectrum of Mars candies.
Ok, what is a food product that could either be crunchy or not crunchy that comes in a variety of flavors? I don't think its chips, because chips are always crunchy. I don't think it's candy bars necessarily, because I never ask anyone what flavor candy bar they like, really.
Would Bonnaroo really book 30 Seconds to Mars? I would consider that the equivalent of Neon Trees last year.
*shudder* to them both. I was walking near the fountain this year when neon trees was on stage and I almost starting convulsing with disgust right then and there.
damn i hate having to work and miss this all day. i really wanted to try and sleuth here! my heart is always in the right place but whenever i get down to opening my laptop and try to jump in, everybody's detective work out here just amazes me.
i like the 30 second to mars logic though, but i just don't want it to be true.
what about mars volta? theres gotta be someway that volta is connected to Titan somehow. its all greek to me.

How about the Dum Dum Girls? I'm having a hard time making a titans connection but Dum Dums come in a variety of flavors and can be crunchy if you chomp 'em.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I'm going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it. Anyone who wants to tag along is more than welcome.
what was the reasoning again for red hot chili peppers? not trying to make them fit the clue because they're one of the last bands i want to see headline bonnaroo, but i'm starting to think they have a real shot at playing this year, which comes as a surprise to me cause i haven't heard much about them in quite some time. take this however you want, but consequence of sound says they'll be touring a lot this year, and will probably have some festival appearances.
now i remember.
among the titans = being inducted into rock and roll hall of fame
favorite flavor = different flavored peppers = i don't eat peppers but i see how they could be considered crunchy
problem is a lot of bands seem to fit the clue but he's not steering us in any direction

OK, reaching now, but the Dum Dum Girls took their name from The Vaselines first album, Dum Dum. The Vaselines were one of Cobains favorite bands, and the even played with a nirvana some, the titans of grunge?

I'm thinking lollipops are a possibility for our flavor thing - or Jolly Ranchers, anything like that. If you think about it, if you were thinking of a lollipop and someone asked you if it was crunchy, what would you say? Neither a "yes" nor "no" is strictly true, and either answer would be a bit misleading - so you probably would end up saying something like "it can be."

I posted this a few pages back. I haven't looked that deep into it but lots of connections: The Mars Volta. Album due out in 2012. Name amongst the titans: Mars - Ares. could also be considered a musical titan. members of ATDI played in Sparta. lots of song titles dealing with constellations. Flavor: Candy - Mars Bars. Can be crunchy.
Just got home from work, cracked a beer and just started trying again. How about Beastie Boys(Teen Titan Beast Boy) with Flavor Flav? Flav has joined them on stage before.

Someone brought up the moons of Saturn earlier - I think that's a possible lead too. I think pretty much all of the Titans are in there, but Saturn has so many moons that they ran out of Titans and had to start naming the moons after other things too. So one of Saturn's other moons could be a "name among Titans."
There are so many that it would be useless for me to list them all, but a few that jump out as possible leads are Pan, Pandora, and Calypso. And, y'know, a bunch of Norse things that could totally be metal bands. ;D
let's go with the red hot chili peppers logic for a minute. suppose chardonnay is throwing us a curveball. remember the first clue someone asked if it related to the hall of fame (either football or rock and roll)? maybe this clue refers to that. i like chili peppers as the answer better than my guesses of rolling stones or pixies.
Ok, I just got home and haven't gone through everything yet but I'm going with The National.
Name among Titans: Dionysus, he's not an actual titan, but was named heir to the throne by Zeus and the Titans killed him. He was later remade by Zeus and Athena. So, he was totally a name amongst the Titans - they all knew him.
Flavor - Wine
The National - All the Wine
Yeah, I'm biased - but it's the first thing that popped into my head.
comic book character Tim Drake is a member of the Teen Titans and fights currently under the name Red Robin, which is also the name of a burger chain known for many flavors of gourmet burgers.
So Tim Drake, the character's secret identity, could be the "name amongst Titans" and the flavor aspect is just to point you to Red Robin. Sounds far fetched but that's my contribution...
I dont think it can be the Mars Volta, because At the Drive-In just got back together and are also slated for cochella.
What about people/bands with food related names? Jeff Mangum is on the cochella lineup. Neutral Milk Hotel was one of the titans of indie rock and gum comes in flavors. Granted its blindly throwing darts, but at least its not forcing RHCP for another post.
Another idea, could amongst the Titans just be referring to a band from tennessee?
Nah, I'm good. I was referring to the fact that she's busting on his -4 when she's only got +8 in 5 years. Obviously the cool points haven't been all that kind to her either.
Way after the fact, but some dude last year decided to make it his mission to take away a bunch of my points when I said that I didn't like Eminem because he's a homophobic jerk. And anyway, I wasn't busting on him, I felt bad because he was brand new and already in the negative.
