I have a book called "The Book Of Rock Lists" ( http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0671787004/qid%3D1028 458329/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/002-3001156-4397632 )It's a good book!
And there is a list of bands and their names before the hit. Here are some: The Detours, The High Numbers = The Who Earth = Black Sabbath Soft White Underbelly, The Stalk-Forrest Group = Blue Oyster Cult The Tangerine Puppets = The Ramones Mammoth = Van Halen The Farriss Btothers = INXS The Beefeaters = The Byrds The Warlocks = The Grateful Dead The Tourists = The Eurythmics Smile = Queen The Screaming Abdabs = Pink Floyd The Hallucinations = J.Geils Band Johnny and the Self-Abusers = Simple Minds London = Motley Crue Mudcrutch = Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Praise of Lemmings = Culture Club And last but not least... Pud = The Doobie Brothers! Mark [ 08-04-2002, 07:11 AM: Message edited by: skywalker ] |

The Metropolitan Blues Quartet = The Yardbirds
The Ravens = The Kinks The Guildford Stranglers = The Stranglers (interesting to me cos Guildford is my home town, in fact the band I used to be in rehearsed in the same place The Stranglers used to rehearse )

Blue Oyster Cult took their name from an anagram of the beer that they were drinking. 'Cully Stout Beer'

How about names bands could have had?
Before Journey recorded it's first album they were looking for that "just right" name and they had a contest. The names weren't very appealing, so a roadie suggested Journey and that's what they eventually went with. The name that could have been? One of the contest entries, my favorite, was "Rumpled Foreskin". LOL!
