Sound Off: What’s in a name?
March 20, 2008 - 3:16pm — BakerBlog
Band names are like the oft-quoted line from Shakespeare: Some are as sweet as a rose, but some just plain stink. Whether a group’s name aptly represents its image and sound or simply serves as a way to alphabetize their discs in a record store, all bands must come up with one – for better or worse. What are some of your favorite band names? Which ones should have been left on drawing board? To get the ball rolling, here are just a few for each column from this blogger’s perspective: Sweet – Radiohead, Soundgarden, The Replacements |
