I once read that the most common band names in America are Paradox; The Rain; and some third one I forgot. Googling confirms that Paradox is a top 10 name, as are Apollo, Atlas, and Zero.

The 1960s was a huge landgrab for common words. You just had to plant a “The” flag in front of it.

xxxpost, I check every once in a while, but there's never been a hardcore band called Lifetime of Abuse

there is Life is Abuse but I don't like the ring of that as well

I was pretty upset to discover Moni Jitchell recently - I thought we'd agreed to stop doing this shit

pro-tip - if you used to be in the band Saliva and you want to go on tour and do their songs, but Saliva still exists and you can't legally use their name, perhaps best not to use the naming convention "Josey Scott's Saliva"

Sounds like band-name trauma induced by this:

The "ILM Best of 2023 Tracks Nominations" playlist just served me up a song by needanamebro.

...I had avoided "Amp Fiddler" until a couple weeks ago due to the truly dire choice of name, but turns out he's great!
