Jan and Dean

This is really just the thread about three-word-name bands with names that don't begin with "the," right? Totally sucking or even just plain sucking is out the window at this point, right?

All of this begs the question - what sort of band DOES absolutely suck?

WRONG!!!

The Scottish Restauranteer (ex machina), Monday, 11 April 2005 04:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, yes, so I am. It's 6.30 in the morning, in my defence.

Unless, rather than turning Death Cab into one word, you are calling me out for suggesting that Mull Historical Society don't suck. I have no defence for that one.
