You forgot one of the short ones:

"Q", the group who did Dancin' Man in 1977.  Q is the shortest name for
a group in the rock era.

"M" (aka Robin Scott) who did Pop Muzik in 1979 is the shortest name for
a single artist in the rock era.

How can you mention short band names without mentioning "X"?

This band has been around a little while and has done admirable 
work.  They are a L.A. based band with a female lead singer named
"Exene" (I believe that is the correct spelling).  The band reminds
me of Berlin (I guess because of the female singer/L.A. connection).
X is more rocking than Berlin.  I have heard two songs that get
radio play here (in Boston): "True Love, Part I", an interesting
montage of a song, and a cover of the Trogs classic "Wild Thing".
On "Wild Thing", Exene really sounds like Joan Jett.  I was confused
until the D.J set me straight.  Seems that it confused everyone.
Good band.  I'd probably check them out if they came around.
