Bands with Numbers in their Name

After Long Band Names and Short Band Names I’ve decided to turn my attention to bands with numbers in their name. I guess there are hundreds of them and some might be great while others might be horrible. And for any name I’ll top five here you (as in you the readers) will come up with something better.
Anyway, my criteria for inclusion into this list were either I like the name or I like the music. Or both.
-
5. The Four Tops
A long time ago, but it’s still great music. I can’t help myself singing to it, there’s just something about you.
-
4. Sham 69
For once in my life I’ve got something to say: If the kids are united, they will never be divided. Enough said. Actually, no. Hurry up, Harry.
-
3. 10,000 Maniacs
Great name. And Natalie Merchant. Scorpio Rising, These are the days, some say doesn’t compare to Patti but Because the night is still worth a mention. And finally playing together with the great David Byrne.
-
2. The B-52s
From the 70s to the early 90s. Anyone still remembering them? I do. Tell It Like It T-I-Is. Love Shack. Rock Lobster. Roam. And Kate’s voice and hair.

1. Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster
Don’t know much about their music, but I think Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster is a great name with a number in it. Which takes them to number 1. That’s all.
Over to you to rip up the list and come up with better bands (or band names) with numbers in them…
