Slightly off question, do you think when creating the Muppet show in the 1970's ,Jim Henson named the house band 'the Electric Mayhem Orchestra' after ELO ? Aren't they Dr Teeth and The Electric Mayhem?

It's just that I've never known them to be referred to as "Electric Mayhem Orchestra"

Ever heard about "The Band"? Now that's the most stupid band name ever. Except, perhaps, for "The The". We could turn this thread into: "What`s the silliest band name ever?" A few more bands that spring to mind: The Smashing Pumpkins (Wasn`t it Billy Corgan himself who said that this was the dumbest band name one could think of? Or was it James Iha?) A (yes, just this one letter) The Who (I still don`t know if this is silly or genius. Maybe both?) ZZ Top It Bites (as much as I love this band, the name is stupid, if you think about it) Porcupine Tree (I seem to love bands with strange or silly names :-) The Pineapple Thief t.b.c.

Wow, look how cheap the tickets were! When I started going to gigs it cost about £3 and I look back and think that was a bargain, but 40p to see ELO is a steal. Not to mention you sometimes had hats and free food - oh, for a time machine....

Remember Mr. Negative can always find the bad side of anything... But yeah, those tickets were incredibly cheap.

You're forgetting, with a time machine you could go back, see the brilliant concerts for hardly any money, wear the hats and scoff the food, then hop back in the time machine and come back to now. Hey presto, best of both worlds Now, all you have to do is invent it, off you go... *confident*
