With so many stupid or simply ridiculous band names ( Elbow springs to mind ) , I wonder why they don't use place names .

Portishead and Montrose jump out at me and I've often thought that Elgin would be a decent band name .

Any more out there ???

There was a 60s group called The Elgins (pronounced el-jins, not el-ginns with a hard 'g' as in the town).

Why are you slagging off Elbow so much? Do you even know why they chose that name?
