If we can expand this a little:

[fnord_too]

KMFDM

[Al Terego]

This is off topic but it is must-know trivia. It could save your life some day. No need to thank me. These bands are not named after other bands but they are all named after the same thing:

10cc
Lovin Spoonful
Pearl Jam

copycat threads suck.

I'm not a fan of the band (and in fact, I wouldn't recognize any of their songs) but, in the context of this thread, their name doesn't stand for what you think it stands for.

Wasn't Heaven 17 named after a band that did not exist but was mentioned in the movie Clockwork Orange?

Oh, Kill Mother Fing Depeche Mode is what I always heard it stood for, but I am not shocked to hear otherwise. However, I will still think of them as that.

Eddie Vedder could attach me to a chair, force feed me hallucinogenic drugs, and and have his grandma strip in front of me to "You can leave your hat on", I will never believe his explanation for his band's name. But you believe what you want to believe.

This many posts, and no Radiohead? - Talking Heads song.

[mistrpug]

Actually Pearl Jam is the only one of those that might actually mean that.
