Other than L7 posted a few minutes ago, I can't think of any others. What other bands put numbers in their names?

[mcctatas]

1. 38 Special?

Black 47


That's all I got :P (bad grammar used colloquially)

[kentauros]

4. Right, on 38 Special

I don't recognize Black 47.

I remembered another right as I posted: Heaven 17
They were mentioned specifically in "A Clockwork Orange" ;)

25. Woodchopper's Ball

Old Woody Herman tune that Alvin Lee just rips on the guitar. Check out the bass solo at about 3:30, done on a Danelectro and sounds like a stand up!

8. ABBA

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

37. 43962

:rofl: :yourock:

[kentauros]

42. Well, someone's gonna have to 'splain it to me

because I didn't even get the "Abba" reference. What? Is their name Swedish for some number?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

45. Layman terms: in computer language, ABBA is 43962 represented in base 16. Nerd thing.

[kentauros]

54. Umm, okay.

But by that logic, then any band name using the first six letters of the alphabet can become a number. So, this is startin' to look like a "FAIL" due to massive obscurity... :P

[surrealAmerican]

61. Not a fail, so much as a topic for a whole 'nother thread.
