Hmmmm...I look at #1, 4 & 5 and it suddenly occurs to me: EVERY band from the late '60s Frisco scene, regardless of quality, had (and some still have) a terrible name, 'cept maybe Grateful Dead or Blue Cheer.

Lemmy's usually quick to point out that his fascination with history (and, well, that's what it is) has nothing to do with the band, nor does it make him a Nazi.

A Certain Ratio may not have anyting to do w/ Nazism, Fascism or Maoism, but it sure sounds like it and would fit in especially w/ the faux-Maoist wank the UK bands were having at the time, ie. Gang of Four.

Alex, I've read that The Band wasn't named laziness, but actually cockiness....as in they were The Band and no one could touch them...

If there's anything I'm learning from this thread, it's don't use two nouns and an adjective in a band name, i.e. American Music Club, Neutral Milk Hotel, Gay Bikers on Acid, Red House Painters, etc. I couldn't put my finger on the reason I hated those names, but now it's all figured out.

there's someone on the 100% Electronica label who changed her name from Negative Gemini to "Neggy Gemmy" which is such an insane downgrade. I'd never tell anyone I listened to someone named "Neggy Gemmy"
