Short and sweet band names
Posted in fun, Music, tagged band names, fun, music on January 18, 2011 | 1 Comment »
A week ago on January 11, 2011, I listed ten of the most ridiculously long band names. The following is a list of 25 of the most well known short ones. Band names with “The” are not included, nor are abbreviations like ELO for Electric Light Orchestra. Acronyms are included on the list, provided it is the primary name the band is called.
Each of those bands listed contain four or less letters/digits/symbols/punctuation marks in its name. In parenthesis is the country the band is from. Enjoy!
ABBA (Sweden)
a-ha (Norway) – one of the best and most innovative videos ever made.
Asia (United Kingdom)
Blur (United Kingdom)
Bush (United Kingdom)
Cake (United States)
Devo (United States)

Hole (United States)
INXS (Australia)
Jet (Australia) – sure sound like the Beatles on this great song.
