Mick Fleetwood has a little something to do with it.

According to a woman I talked to once, 182 is the number of times someone (Al Pacino?) said fuck in some movie. It was a few years ago when she told me that.

I'd be impressed if anyone could help me explain the name of this band, Toad the Wet Sprocket.

Anyone care to explain Bowling For Soup. A very funny music video and a strange name. Hell it made me want to buy their album.

I don't think the weird name thing applies to punk bands...i think they just appear under the category "we're a punk band...so we might as well be called "random-three-word-band"
ironically, that band name has four words.

As far as Sum 41 goes, I saw an interview with them once and they said that it was from the fact that they formed the band 41 days into the summer after they graduated. Or something like that.

what about Sevendust
Sevendust is a powder used to kill fleas which can be used both on items and animals.

Umm...I think it's the name of a janitor or someone they used to see all the time.

Uh, nosir.
Syd Barret, the original guitarist, had two records by Georgia bluesmen, one was Pink Anderson and the other was Floyd Council.
