Names of Bands...

I'm a 91.1 WFMU listener(www.wfmu.org) where often I listen to the very cool talk shows and great non-commercial music.

The show I realy liked unfortunately was heard recorded where DJ-s were accepting a phone calls from everyone who knows the name of band and the reason of that name.

For example the name Can was always accossiated with nown but in reality as per band name selection it's a verb that realy uncovers meaning of the band: Yes, they can!

What about King Crimson? Jethro Tull? Yes? 10CC?

Uriah Heep invented something, can't remember what (the cotton gin?). 10cc is supposed to be the average volume of a typical male's ejaculation...whatever...

What about:
Fairport Convention
(Nick Cave and) the Bad Seeds
