Yeah, excluding SYR releases, I'm totally in agreement with this.

Me too. I've never been able to get into The Eternal, even though I really like some of the songs.

All of Soundgarden's albums have stupid titles.

Yeah. And their band has a stupid name.

Chris Cornell's formula for coming up with band name seems to be: Compound word, first part being some synonym for auditory stimulation, second part being some other thing.

I like Soundgarden as a band name. Also, Cornell didn't make it up.

I think most band names are pretty dumb, really.

Yeah, I'm not crazy about Radiohead. I don't mind it as much as a reference, though. It works better on that score than Soundgarden.

Fine. My apologies to Cornell. Soundgarden is still a stupid band name. And all of their album titles are terrible. I'll say that I think the band name is better than any of their album titles.

I'd start a thread, but I don't want to piss off Ruddo.
No, no. Start a thread. This is a conversation I'd like to have, actually.

Metallica is a dumb band name too.

I agree. But I think that were I raised in a cave, and had never heard of bands, that upon being explained of the concept and handed an early Metallica album, I'd expect the band to sound very much like what they actually sound like.
Haha well I guess if we're judging band names based on aesthetic accuracy then that makes sense.

And that seems pretty limited. Does One sound like it should be performed by a band called Metallica? What about that country ballad they did?
