Description
How Arcade Fire, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Vampire Weekend, and 532 other bands came up with their names. As David St. Hubbins from Spinal Tap aptly noted: 'There is a thin line between complete stupidity and a brilliant idea.' This certainly applies to rock band names. Some are excellent, some are terrible, and some are terribly excellent. Some, like The Rolling Stones or Cat Power, were hastily chosen when an event needed to be arranged or a single released. Others were planned long in advance, such as Arctic Monkeys, Aerosmith, and Smashing Pumpkins, all of which stemmed from youthful dreams. And why, for heaven's sake, would four white guys from Britain choose the name Asia? Read the book to find out.
