I don't think I'll get into worst group names, although group names like
"The Swingle Singers"(Bach mutations and mutilations for the terminally trendy)
and "Queen"(Could never figure out why they call them that!(:-)). What I find
much more entertaining is a group with an imaginative or out of the ordinary
type name.
A few years back I stumbled across a real find, it was an album in the
closeout bin at a dept. store of all places. The name of it was "Tonto's Ex-
panding Headband"(The group and album name). The cover showed an indian head-
band in a circle, but there were different scenes along the length of the band.
Most of the scenes depicted the cybernetic life cycle from the tadpole through
the frog and continuing to man. There was also a related musical number on the
album called "Cybernaut". I've even used this song and another as a basis for
some of my jazz improvisations (if you could call them that).

I'm not sure whether to include group names obviously intended to give offense - like the Dead Kennedys or Sharon Tate's Baby or the Circle Jerks - but I will anyway (:-)) -- rod williams | pacific bell | san francisco ----------------------------------------------------------------------- {ihnp4,ucbvax,cbosgd,decwrl,amd70,fortune,zehntel}!dual!ptsfa!ptsfc!rjw

My own contribution to this would probably be "The Flying Burrito Brothers" . . . unfortunately, I can't give any information besides the name itself. --pH /* * "Pardon me for breathing, which I don't do anyway so I don't * know why I bother apologising for it, oh GOD I'm so depressed." */
