Randomness: my copy of 'Blue Lines' just says "Massive" as the band name, cos it was released when the first Gulf Massacre was happening and you weren't allowed to have war-like connotations with your music at that time.

I reckon Massive Attack is a great name, if you think of "massive" as describing who's doing the attack, i.e. "Attack of the dancehall massive!"  Of course completely irrelevant to their style since they turned their backs on soundsystem culture a zillion years back... but was cool at the start.  And I'm guessing a lot of kids who got into them later wouldn't know about the idea of massive as a noun, beyond Ali G.  "Big up the Staines massive!"

Edit:  Ooh, a doozy (did I write that?) is The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy.   How unwieldy is that?  Franti got it right with Spearhead.

And my local record store can't decide if !!! goes under A (since it's a symbol) or C (because of chk-chk-chk) and there is some albums in both sections.

<In the record shops here, they just go on their own category, labelled !!!(chk-chkchk) just before the A, strangely, thgey are filed on the Electronic section.

Oh! I guess I never caught that. What's it refering to? I always just thought it sounded like something someone from Robin Hood would say.

Johnny C:
One, it's Alexisonfire. It's a reference to an "adult contortionist" named Alexis Fire, or so the legend goes.
