No offence taken! Personally I really like the name of just "joy division" as it could be the division between joy and something else or the actual division of joy and I think that's really cool. Did encounter one neo-nazi who liked the name for other reasons ... i assumed you were cooler than that tho 😜 Clearly don't mind the name that much given my chart 😉

Yeah, but they stole them all from The Fall. Ask Mark E Smith if you don't believe me!

Love that name

Fun fact on the story behind their name. Once upon a time, a punk band which sounded a lot like Half Japanese but using Ramones chords formed. They weren't sure what to call themselves, but because 2 of the original guys involved in writing and playing the music were jewish they decided it would be ironic to call themselves "Sweet Baby Jesus". When it came time to release their first album, they dropped the "Jesus" to just become "Sweet Baby".

Meanwhile, a band called "Sweet Children" formed 1 year after Sweet Baby Jesus had officially "formed" (though they'd been playing music together as a band in a garage for some time before then). Sweet Children was just a band of 15 year old kids out to make some punk music. When the kids turned 16, they were signed to Lookout! Records, a label in my area that Sweet Baby was already signed to. Before the kids released their new album, they wanted to change their name so people didn't think they were Sweet Baby - they went with "Green Day" because of their love of pot.

My dad was one of those original jewish members of Sweet Baby Jesus.

So in a really indirect way, my dad is the reason Green Day is called Green Day.

The Fall have some great song titles. No Xmas For John Quays, Jawbone and The Air-Rifle, Who Makes the Nazis, Susan Vs Youth Club, The Man Whose Head Expanded, Spoilt Victorian Child, How I Wrote Elastic Man, Bingo Masters Breakout. They should get some kind of award for song titles just for writing a song called Industrial Estate.

Brand New:

The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot
Good To Know That If I Want Attention All I Have To Do Is Die

I little bit on the tacky/emo side, but that's half of why I love the titles.
There's a traditional folk tune called I was taught called "I Don't Ever Want To Die Or Be Killed", but that's not a band. Sorry. It's a lovely tune though. Actually, I tried to google it and can't find it. I wonder if my teacher made the title up...

Gnaw Their Tongues win the award for trying just a bit too hard to be scary and really just being over the top and ridiculous.

Examples:

-Dawn breaks open like a wound that bleeds afresh
-My orifices await ravaging
-Rend each other like wild beasts, till earth shall reak of midnight massacre
-The Atrocious Angel of Scatology
-The Gnostic Ritual Consumption of semen as embodiement of wounds teared in the soul
