i have always loved Big Brother And The Holding Company

Stark Reality
The Flying Burrito Brothers

100 Proof Aged In Soul

Demon Fuzz

60s r&b groups (The Ovations, The Wanderers, The Downbeats) can get interesting/creative.

a friend had a punk band in high school named "Teen Pregnancy!"

it's early, and the "godawful" thread got weird with people hatting on The Beatles and The Pixies...

    Rocket From The Crypt

    Oh, hell no???that's a straight bite of the better-named and better band Rocket From The Tombs. This 4:28 obliterates Rocket From The Crypts entire catalog:

    What's the story? Don't know it, like their music though, especially the two records with awkward long names.

    Yo La Tengo is Spanish for "I have it" or "I've Got Her".

    The name came from a baseball anecdote. During the 1962 season, New York Mets center fielder Richie Ashburn and Venezuelan shortstop Elio Chac??n found themselves colliding in the outfield.

    When Ashburn went for a catch, he would scream, "I got it! I got it!" only to run into Chac??n, who spoke only Spanish, so Ashburn learned to yell, "Yo la tengo! Yo la tengo!" instead.

    In a later game, Ashburn happily saw Chac??n backing off. He relaxed, positioned himself to catch the ball, and was instead run over by left fielder Frank Thomas, who understood no Spanish and had missed a team meeting that proposed using the words "Yo la tengo!" as a way to avoid outfield collisions.

    After getting up, Thomas asked Ashburn "What the heck is a Yellow Tango?".

    Even though it's a straight bite, it still has a ring to it.
