Group Names that make for impossible searching

The reoccurring Who's Next thread makes me wonder what other bands had no foresight when it came to the digital era of google and searching by picking a name too simple for our computerized world.

Off the top of my head:

The Who
The Band
The Faces
Them
Yes

 

The The

 

America
Chicago
Bread
Pilot

 

Cracker

 

Heart

 

The La's

 

!!!

 

As I found out (and noted in an earlier thread): Hamlet.


Just try finding anything on them...without coming up with Shakespeare's guy!

 

U2 on this forum. You have to search by band member names or songs/albums.

 

Oh, and: The Move

And probably the British band, The Birds (not to be confused with The Byrds)

 

Try this:

"A"

Did I win ??

X

 

Maybe The Damned??

 

Record stores are confused about where to file this band's CDs too. I think most file it before A (the correct way, in my opinion), but some people file them under C because the most popular pronunciation of their name is "chk chk chk" (or "chk chik chick", according to the iTunes Music Store). This despite the band's own assertion that their name is simply any three syllables or sounds that you like. Ah well, being gimmicky always has some drawbacks.

On this forum, ZZ Top.

 

O or are they known as A Band Called O? I only have that one album.

Brian

 

Does A-ha work? I don't care, but I thought it was a lousy name, and computer software often disregards very short names.

 

Boston

 

It's nigh impossible to search for Dr. John or Take 6 on this forum! (But then searching for anything on this forum can sometimes be a bit of an adventure.)

Mart.

 

Circus (Metromedia label).........Carmen (ABC label)

 

that sign Prince used for a few years.

 

There was a great band back in the '80s called Interview. Try typing that into a search engine and see what happens...you'll get tons of actual INTERVIEWS by other artists!

 

The Cars

The Doors

The Eagles
