Listen "60 More Band Name Origins in 60 Minutes"
Episode Synopsis
This episode is directed at people who need to understand how their favourite bands got their names.
I will present you 60 band names over the course of this program…the first 20 will be a study of current popular groups…then we’ll move to some retro names, followed by some random labels.
And we’ll conclude with groups filed under “what were they thinking?,” “terrible original names,” “offensive names” (I’ll have to be careful about that)…and we’ll end with names that are just plain dumb—dumb on purpose, of course.
Ready? Let us begin.
