According to Marilyn Manson,if a band had a number in its name they were probably crap,and he'd know.*cough*The American modern rock scene is littered with examples - Matchbox 20,Blink-182,and so on and so forth.What of good bands with numbers in their names?Can anyone name some?

not shite: treacherous three, fab 5 freddy, funky 4 +1, furious five

not a band, but really not shite: krs-one

― ethan, Wednesday, 1 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ethan importantly proves my important point: cuz 3 = not a number either (see key reasoning above), and 1 = the opposite of number (cus there's only one).

Some actual attested numbers: 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16: have any of these graced a GOOD unit?

― mark s, Wednesday, 1 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hey, remember when marilyn manson spelled his name like MAR1LYN MAN50N? that was 31337.

i just remembered mc eiht, who was recently mentioned on the same song name thread for sucking. the reason there's no g in there is some weird 'g' thang, but it's still an 8.

Maybe the question should be limited to exclude bands with "combo" numbers in their names (numbers less than 10, meant to indicate or ironically indicate the number of musicians involved) and include only bands who tack unnecessary numbers onto names that are already serviceable (e.g. Powerman 5000 et al.). There does seem to be a clear difference, right? Except for Prefuse 73, which is not completely shite, but the "73" refers to the year and therefore sort of belongs there.

There's gotta be a band with unnecessary numbers tacked on that doesn't blow. I'm sure of it.

― Nitsuh, Wednesday, 1 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Unbelievable. No Mojave 3 (ignoring what Nitsuh posted). But where is Galaxie 500? By far the best of all mentioned bands I know of. Another interesting question. Which is the band with the highest number in their name? From this thread it would be "The rock'n'roll dubble bubble trading card co. of philadelphia 19141". Whoever that is.

― Nitsuh, Wednesday, 1 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

- mark s: 16 Horsepower, check the latest live record "Hoarse" among others amazing covers of Gun Club and Joy Division.

besides in ascending order of numbers: U2 (don't they exist in ILM?), Dirty Three (one of the best instrumental bands), Third Eye Foundation, Mega City Four, OP8 (=opiate=Howe Gelb+Lisa Germano plus the rest of Giant Sand), Nine Inch Nails (I suppose Marilyn Manson was mainly thinking of them), Ten Years After, Eleventh Dream Day (Yo La Tengo + Sonic Youth)/2, 22 Pistepirkko (best Finnish band), UB40 (my reggae dub faves), Tahiti 80 (French), Ludwig von 88 (old French band). Just for a joke there was a seventies group formed by the sidemen of Alice Cooper called Billion Dollar Babies. Must be one of the biggest numbers in the name of a band.

― alex in mainhattan, Wednesday, 1 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Laura (nee Lora) MacFarlane, yes.

Incidentally, all three of their albums have numerical titles: the first one is self titled, followed by 767 and 180 Degrees (actually a degrees symbol but I don't think that would survive the board encoding).

― bucky wunderlick, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That's my Holy Grail record, Frank! The one with the garish green cover, featuring "Bang Bang". Lost it while DJing, idiot that I am. Won't someone please release it on CD, please.

― Arthur, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Bang Bang" and "El Pito" and "Toot Toot Tootsie" and "Latin Cool Jerk" and the sung-as-if-by-a-5-year-old "St. Nicolas." I'm amazed that anyone here even heard of them. I know nothing about them, except that I'm guessing 1967 and (for some reason I can't put my finger on) east L.A. rather than NYC. Do you have any info?

― Frank Kogan, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Bang Bang" is the best party song. Ever. But I thought it was by Joe Cuba? Whozis Johnny Rios?

(p.s. I too have searched hi and low for this record but the best I cd do was an album of pretty bad remixes)

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Just Googled the guy and Bang Bang came out in... 1967. But your first intuition was correct, Frank. Joe Cuba (née Gilbert Calderon, known to friends as "Sonny") was a stickball player from Spanish Harlem.

"There was actually a connection between my playing ball and playing music. I starting getting involved with music in early 50s when I was 19 years old. I broke my leg playing stoop ball, sliding into the sidewalk of all things, so I asked my friend to lend me his conga. My leg was up in a cast and I couldn't do anything, so for the next few months, I practiced in the house and on the block all the time. I hung out with this guy Santos Mirando who was a great Timbaleros players."

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"St. Nee-ko-lahs St. Nee-ko-lahs I hope dat your are dere!" Or something like that. Sorry, I don't have any information about Johnny Rios to add to the stuff that Tracer came up with about Joe Cuba. I always assumed that Johnny Rios was from East LA, though, as the record has that crazy "Farmer John" party atmosphere. I was hoping something would turn up on Rhino's Brown Eyed Soul compilations, but no such luck.

I bought the record as a 70s teenager at Railroad Salvage, a second hand Department store in New England that had a great cutout bin: loads of sixties country, Giorgio Moroder's Son of My Father, Shocking Blue records, weird bubblegum compilations I've never seen since, that sort of thing. I revisit it in my dreams all the time.

― Arthur, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Joe Cuba did write and record "Bang Bang." Johnny Rios was doing a cover version. Rios's "El Pito" (a.k.a. "Never Go Back To Georgia") is even better than his version of "Bang Bang," and it was also originally a Cuba song. None of which tells me anything about Rios or where he's from, or whether he recorded in 1967 or later. In Accidental Evolution Chuck Eddy puts the Rios album in his 1968 Top Ten, but he didn't know the year any more than I did and chose 1968 over 1967 because he had another album he wanted to fit into 1967.

On this occasion Mr Thomas is wrong. 15:60:75 supported Pere Ubu at the 50 years of pain thingy last year and were awful. Dull blues rock.

― RickyT, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

maybe they just got worse? Television were just dull rock at All Tomorrow's Parties

No they weren't. They were partly dull rock.

― Tim, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sorry to hear that. They used to be amazing. The Jimmy Bell album is incredible. But only if you can appreciate blues in the Captain Beefheart tradition.

.. Then again, you might just have shitty taste... (kidding. no flames, please.)

― Dave225, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I do like Beefheart, but what they were doing on stage that night bore very little resemblence to any of Mr Van Vliets work.

― RickyT, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Galaxie 500 may or may not have been named after the car (Ford Galaxie 500, introduced in 1962) so the 500 might not be an arbitrary number tacked on for "style".

I'm sure every band involved here would claim to the end that the numbers in their names were not at all "arbitrary," and actually essential to their various aesthetic projects.
