Gang of 4 get by because that's actually more of an overt political reference (which in and of itself is another bad band name impetus, but that's another story). As for the other, I wish Ben would fold his five and leave the game entirely. Why? Please reference the aforementioned "shit." Anybody who can make Dave Matthews sound exciting and inspired by comparison is clearly one sick sonofabitch. Morrissey? I saw him once, during the Smiths' first US tour. I'm not the biggest fan in the world, but they were fucking excellent that night. Marr looked like Keith Richards circa '66, and Morrissey was a total loon, in a good way. I love a lot of those first few albums--"Reel Around the Fountain," "Hand In Glove," "What She Said," "Ask,"--classic pop tones. And I liked their drummer--was his name Andy, or was that the other guy? Can't remember. Either way . . . I met him once and he was a friendly fella. Was drumming for Pete Wylie at the time, which is always a respectable thing to do, cos Wylie's amazing when he's not eating doughnuts and trynna beat up Mike Tyson. - --Chris A.

(Note: there are a few exceptions to this rule--8-Eyed Spy, for example--but as a general rule of thumb, best to avoid bands that utilize any numerology in their chosen title.) I like a few 10,000 Maniacs song, thank you very much. Should we incllude Ben Folds Five in your list? Gang Of Four? > Best band name ever? There's a lotta choices, but at the moment I'm leaning towards "...and you will know us by the trail of dead." Oh, and a nonexistent Brian Jonestown Massacre covers band called "The Charlie Watts Riots." And two other imaginary groups, one called "Lady Godiva's Chocolate Saddle" and the other, "The Keil-Bossa-Nova Mob." We just call the first group "Trail'o'Dead" around here, can't be bothered to say it all. I really ought to catch them live considering they are local and friends with other bands I like. But maybe they make better friends than musicians. Tomorrow: Morrissey. IF he decides to turn up, which I very much hope he does cos I've never seen him and never saw The Smiths. ============================ Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ ============================ Tired of spam?
