bands with really good names..

[MysteryGuest]

If it was it would not be a really good one. I think a good name can be completely undermined by awful music and vice versa which is why I think they have little relevance.

Next up, 'books with really good titles..'.

Yeah, absolutely. I just do love a good band name - but a good name would never make me want to check out that band's music as such.

e2a:

Although I did check out Current 93's 'Dog's Blood Rising' on the strength of the name, the title and some good sleeve artwork.

I used to share a house with some people who recorded with Current 93 in early 90s we were a reet wierd bunch round our house, late tea cake sessions, fascist-fetish fuck-fests and wierd sounds as the soundtrack

See, I thought that's why they were called Ben Folds Five, but twisted pointed out to me the other day that it's also a wanking euphemism, and then i got it.

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I think in general the band 'make' the name. I remember hating a few bands names but after getting into/used to the bands, the name conjoured up images of the music etc and their names were rendered cool/indifferent.
