My pals at the Huffington Post recently ran a feature on misleading band names, pegged on the fact that Band of Horses do not feature a sinlge equine in their line-up.
All well and funny, but they scandalously named to miss out some of the most misleading band names in the history of popular music, an omission I seek to rectify with the following short list.
Prepare to be outraged by the nerve of these so-called musicians and their LIES.
Thompson Twins - Famously, there are three of them, none of whom are related or even called Thompson
Cocteau Twins - Again, three alleged twins, none of whom are the multiple birth progeny of the French poet
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - No orchestra, and every time I have seen them, I paid good money to watch a performance held - outrageously - under lights
Killing Joke - I once heard lead singer Jaz "No relation" Coleman tell a passable "knock knock"gag, and I am still pretty much alive
Echo and the Bunnymen - No member of this band has ever been struck down by Myxomatosis
The Smiths - Putting aside the fact that no-one in this popular beat combo is actually called "Smith", there is a second lie in the fact that they will also refuse to shoe a horse or make a nice set of decorative railings
The Foo Fighters - I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Not a single penny raised by this band has gone toward fighting foo
Popular music: STOP LYING TO US
On a related note, I went to a record shop for the first time in ages recently and asked for something by The Cure. Imagine my disappointment when I got home and found it was a Placebo.

Aaaarrgghh! The old ones are the best.
I've been avoiding going to see The Killers, just in case they're the exception to the rule.
We need a band called Bumface.
TRT: We are working on it. There is a song, an' everything

I agree with Anonymous.
OTOH, there was a band called Cream, and my GF did :-)
TMI
What about the Rolling Stones. Stoned, yes, but rolling?? Those guys are so scrawny they make twiggy look plump.
Indeed. Led Zeppelin, not lead, not Zeppelins. Whitesnake - Not snakes. Not even sexy slang. Has any member displayed his member on stage? I think not.
And talking of that sort of lewd behaviour what about Captain Sensible, eh?! Oh, maybe that one's ironic.
And talking of ironic... Iron Maiden, though that might just be an order directed at one of the WAGs of the band.
