1) Tank (stylized as TANK) is the name of two British heavy metal bands, both of which stem from a band formed in 1980 by Algy Ward (ex-The Saints, ex-The Damned). The band's brand filthy metal was loved by both punk and metal fans. The original band is known as part of the new wave of British heavy metal movement. Tank was often compared to Motörhead as both bands were trios fronted by singing bassists, and played a loose, almost punk-styled metal music with often colourful lyrics. Lemmy, of Motörhead, helped them get their first record deal, and "Fast" Eddie Clarke was picked as producer for their debut album, "Filth Hounds of Hades". Heavily influenced by bands like Motörhead, they were a productive force of the NWOBHM movement, and are still making music in the 21st century. After legal and creative disputes, Algy Ward led one version of the group while guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans led the other (Tucker/Evans Tank).
2) Tank is the stage name of an American R&B singer, songwriter, musician, and producer, Durrell Babbs.
Tank was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on January 1, 1976 and he was raised in Clinton, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Tank took an instant interest in singing and playing the piano, partially due to his alliance to religion — his cousin directed the church choir and helped the aspiring vocalist foster his singing talent from an early age. His stage name comes from his chiseled physique. A multi-sport athlete in high school, he had the opportunity to play college football. However, Tank decided to focus on music, and his talent eventually led him to an opportunity to sing background vocals for Ginuwine during one of Ginuwine's tours. Next, he found himself singing with Aaliyah and then Blackground Records founder Barry Hankerson, and his son (and company president) Jomo Hankerson took notice, offering Tank the opportunity to become a solo artist. In 2001, Tank realized his ambitions, seeing his debut album, Force of Nature, released to a national audience. This LP rendered the Top 10 R&B ballad, "Maybe I Deserve".
The next year, Tank released his second album, One Man. The single of the same name had chart success as well. He also co-produced the smash hit single "One Minute Man" by Missy Elliott in 2002.
Tank has also made a name for himself as a producer and writer, working with artists such as Dave Hollister, Marques Houston, Omarion, Jamie Foxx, Donell Jones, Monica among others. Along with The Underdogs, he has worked with many different artists over the years and was also a contributor to the score of the film adaptation of the musical Dreamgirls, in which he also had a cameo.
Tank sold what was to be the lead single to his 3rd album, "I Luv Dem Girls", to Marques Houston who renamed it "Strip Club" (this song appears on Marques Houston's 3rd solo album "Veteran"). Tank has recently worked on Kelly Rowland's second album Ms. Kelly on the tracks "The Show" (a duet with Tank himself) and "Ghetto" featuring Snoop Dogg. "Ghetto" is also set to be the album's second single.
Tank released his 3rd solo album entitled "Sex, Love & Pain" on May 15, 2007. The first single of this album is "Please Don't Go". Tank has also formed a group with Ginuwine and Tyrese named TGT. Their first single will be a remix of "Please Don't Go", with an international tour entitled "The Shirts Off Tour" and search for a fourth member to follow.
Tank, along with Tyrese, are set to perform in West Oakland at the Paramount Theater on November 2, 2007.

TANK also is the spokesperson for computer game, "激戰" (GuildWars) and composed a song for the game.
Since then, "TANK" had became one of the most popular keyword among new artists to be searched in search engines.
While TANK was choosing songs to be fitted to his debut album, he had uploaded several songs and had set a poll on wretch.cc to be listened by his friends and let them vote for songs to be fitted in his new album. To his surprise, thousands of fans came to his blog to listen to his songs.
TANK's debut album, Fighting 生存之道 (Fighting, The Law of Living) is a fusion of Hip Hop, RnB, Rock and traditional Chinese music.

I Still Believe
Tank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I get something off my chest?
Ooh um hmm
Every now and then I think of all the times we shared
Your the only one who lets me know you really care
I miss you more and more and day by day, it's hard to see
Just how you love me so and everything you gave to me
I still believe, I believe in you and me
And that one day we will be together
And I know it sounds strange to you
But I never moved on 'cause my heart wouldn't let you go
Until I let you know I still believe
I can barely remember the time
The time we were caught in the rain
How you took my hand and you said I have things to say
It's the little things that makes me stronger everyday
I don't know if you hear me somewhere I hope your listening
I still believe, I believe in you and me
And that one day we will be together
And I know it sounds strange to you
But I never moved on 'cause my heart wouldn't let you go
Until I let you know I still believe
You're the only one
(Be the only one)
Who shined a light into my life
Took me from where I was and
Lead me toward what was right
You're the only one
(Be the only one)
Who shined a light into my life
Took me from where I was and
Lead me toward what was right
I still believe, I believe in you and me
And that one day we will be together
And I know it sounds strange to you
But I never moved on 'cause my heart wouldn't let you go
Until I let you know I still believe
I still believe, I believe in you and me
And that one day we will be together
And I know it sounds strange to you
But I never moved on 'cause my heart wouldn't let you go
Until I let you know I still believe
I still believe, I believe in you and me
And that one day we will be together
And I know it sounds strange to you
But I never moved on 'cause my heart wouldn't let you go
Until I let you know I still believe

Every now and then I think of all the times we shared
I often reminisce on happy moments we had together
Your the only one who lets me know you really care
You are the only person who has truly shown that you care about me

I appreciate your love and everything you've done for me
I still believe, I believe in you and me
I am hopeful and confident that we can reconcile
And that one day we will be together

You were the only person who brought light and happiness into my life
Took me from where I was and lead me toward what was right
You guided me toward a better path and helped me make wise decisions
