Just the name, just the name.

I don't think I've ever heard a note from the band.

They'd have to be better than their name.
Bring me my broadsword, and clear understanding.

Renaissance... Genesis... just two amazingly good bands with awfully tasteless names.

oh yeah, and don't forget utter corniness; Vanilla Ninja, Spice Girls, TikTak.

Do you think the former members of this band left due to name differences rather than musical ones?
Current line-up
Lord Sardonyx - Guitars, Basses (Desalin)
Syntax Function A - Vocals, Drums
Former/past member(s)
M. Shipley - Guitar
C. Lundon - Drums

Metallica may be generic, but how about The Band, The Music (they don't sound that bad though; simple, but not bad), The The?

There's also Made Out of Babies and These Arms Are Snakes.
