outside of a few post-rock bands i've never really liked all those bands with the sentence long names (panic! at the disco, fear before the march of flames, etc.). i'm also pretty sick of bands being named "the (pluralized noun)".

Genesis was a good name for the time.. it reflected the music, too

the reason they were called genesis was because the guy producing them was inexperienced and it was the first "real" band he had produced, thus the genesis of his career. pretty interesting, i read it in one of those books that's essentially a compilation of useless information.

I came across a band recently called "Gatsby's American Dream" I thought it was a joke at first. After I listened to a track, I realised that it is a joke.

There are a number of Japanese punk bands with bizzare names such as Mr. Children, Bump of Chicken, and The Piss.

If any of you have read Ryu Murakami's gruesome thriller IN THE MISO SOUP (I'm curiously familiar with the Dutch translation) - it literally deals a death blow to Mr Children!
