I always thought that the Generic Band Name Generator name consisted of pluralizing things that are unique and singularizing things that are numerous.

Like The Washington Monuments and The Bill Clintons or Pant and Bike.

First song on the first album features the melody from Africa Bambaatas "Searching for the perfect beat" and it will go through a number of different genres! Wouldnt that be cool?
