Hey everybody! It's Dave Shumka with you afternoons/evenings for the next couple of weeks.
A few days ago, Spin posted this article about the 40 greatest band names of all time. They used a quasi-scientific yet completely subjective method to determine which names really resonate. According to their numbers, Motörhead is the perfect band name. Here are the top 10 according to Spin:
10 - Slayer
9 - AC/DC
8 - Devo
7 - Brian Jonestown Massacre
6 - Dead Kennedys
5 - Joy Division
4 - Big Star
3 - N.W.A.
2 - MC5
1 - Motörhead
So, today's poll questions are...
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE LIST?
WHAT MAKES A GOOD BAND NAME?
DOES A BAND'S NAME MATTER?
WHAT ARE THE BEST AND WORST BAND NAMES EVER?
We'll also look back at past Bucky Award winners for Best New Band Name, Carbon Dating Service, Library Voices, Said the Whale, Gregory Pepper and His Problems, Paperplanes and Dragonboats, and Oh No! Yoko.
