The Fantastic Baggys

[MaVolta]

Procol Harum

Out of curiosity, I googled to see where the name came from. Story goes that the band's manager named the group after a cat belonging to a famous English record producer. The cat's purebred name was Procul Harun. 

[BeatleloverKT]

ZZ Top, AC/DC, Traveling Wilburys, Electric Light Orchestra

[BeatleloverKT]

Thin Lizzy, Lynerd Skynerd, XTC, Tony! Toni! Tone’!, The art of noise, A tribe called Quest, The Velvet Underground, Sex Pistols, Iron Maiden, Devo, Dead Kennedys.

 FYI the Beatles came up with their name based on their love for Buddy Holly& the Crickets. They wanted an insect name along the line of Crickets and settled on The Beetles, eventually changing it to the Beatles. I think they made out alright with it!

Moby Grape

[MaVolta]

Iron Butterfly

[1968Hoya46]

Lothar And The Hand People

Thin Lizzy

Smashing Pumpkins

Blue Oyster Cult

Stone Temple Pilots

Hootie and the Blowfish

[Loulit]

The Tubes

Mott The Hoople

Gov't Mule

Nine Inch Nails

Suicidal Tendencies

The Beatles

I picked these because I've listened to every single one. Sometimes not by choice.

Before you freak about The Beatles, know they're my favorite band. I think they're the greatest Rock band of all time. But the name...  The Beatles with a pun on "beat." It's... not good.
