Death Cab for Cutie reminds me of Dismemberment Plan, which is quite a good name, but not such a good band, IMHO.

Back to metal thing, Hanoi Rocks is another foolish name.

I also dislike the name The "Black" Crowes. As opposed to what? The "yellow" crowes, or the "orange" crowes?

I also like:
Wilco
The Cowboy Junkies
The Crazy World of Arthur Brown ("I am the god of hell fire and I bring you...Fire")
