Combine the two and you get:

Let the music speak for itself....if the band is hot people will make it a
point to remember the name whether it is
a "clever" name or simply the Bill Jones Blues Band.
Did the Allman brothers band use some "clever" band name? No. Are the
revered by any as the best blues band of all time past present and future?
Yes. See?
The examples go on like Steve Miller Band, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Dave
Clark Five, Pat Metheny Band, Santana, Simon and Garfunkle..etc etc
etc..........clever names are bogus and totally unnecessary.
The M U S I C makes the band's name for itself..not some cutesy words.

"A really great blues band". Then, when you are announced on stage, the
script may follow this pattern: "ladies and gentlemen, please give a big
round of applause and welcome to the stage 'a really great blues band'".
Then, at the end, you can thank everyone for coming, and explain that you've
been 'a really great blues band' and they've been a great audience. If
people tell you the bands name was well suited, you know you're onto a winner!

Not that I necessarily disagree with your main point, but didn't they
actually start out as "The Allman Joys"?

Too bad you would never have time to see Phil Keaggy since he doesn't use

Aw, Charlie, you're no fun. What's wrong with being a bit creative with the
name? Why not try to entertain people from the first moment they hear of
you? You can change your clothes, your guitar, your hairstyle, your style of
music, and even your physique to mold your image; why not change your name?
Sometimes, it happens that the people who were naming you at your birth
simply didn't have a show business career in mind when they did it!
Would Cary grant have made it as Archibald Alexander Leach? Would Judy
Garland have made it as Frances Gumm? Would Alan Alda have done better as
Alphonso dąAbruzzo? Would Mel Brooks fared better as Melvin Kaminsky, or
Albert Brooks as Albert Einstein?
Would John Denver have sold as many records as Henry John Deutschendorf?
Would Kirk Douglas have starred in as many movies as Issur Danielovitch
Demsky? Was it a waste of energy changing Baldemar G. Huerta to Freddie
Fender? Did you know Glenn Ford's given first name was Gwyilyn?
C'mon, Charlie, give us a break. Even Huddie Ledbetter was much better known
as Leadbelly, and Elias Bates impressed more people as Bo Diddley. McKinley
Morganfield is a fine name, but much more easily remembered as Muddy Waters.
Please, allow Patricia Andrzejewski to be Pat Benatar. Let Harold Lipschitz
be Hal Linden if he wants to, and Joseph Levitch be known as Jerry Lewis.
Stefanie Powers might have been just as beautiful if she hadn't changed her
name from Stefdnia Zofija Federkiewicz, but who's to say? Would Cheryl Ladd
have been as fetching a Charlie's Angel if she'd been billed as Cheryl
Stoppelmoor?
I mean, Hollywood Squares MIGHT be that much more entertaining if everyone
knew that Peter Marshall was really Pierre LaCock, but maybe not.
Michael Keaton didn't have much choice; Michael Douglas, his real name, was
already taken! James Stewart had the same problem, so he changed his to
Stewart Granger. So did Jane Peters, who became Carole Lombard.
Would Elle MacPherson be nearly as sexy as Eleanor Gow? Would Walter
Matthau EVER have gotten his real last name, Matuschanskayasky, into the
screen credits?
Ronald Reagan kept his own name, but do you think it bothered him that his
first wife, Jane Wyman, was really Sarah Jane Fulks; or that his second
wife, Nancy Davis, was really Anne Frances Robbins? Should it bother us?
Would it bother you if you knew that President Gerald R. Ford was really
Leslie Lynch King, Jr.?
I dunno, Charlie. Personally, I like band names like Skid Marx and the Hugh
Jazz Band; Alcoholics Unanimous; Hitler's Bikini; Mao Tse Helen;
Phenobarbiedolls; Seven Year Bitch; Well Hungarians; Testostertones; Stukas
Over Bedrock; theXpairOmentals, and the Crash Test Tickles (the last two are
mine, thank you).
How many other Charlies are playing blues in Mississippi? I mean, it's fine
for you, but what are the other 32,796 Charlies in Mississippi gonna do?
Hmmm. Butt Brain and the Waste of Energy... I like it!

Right, for a blues rock band, a catchy or conceptual name isn't really
necessary, but for a rock or pop band, sometimes it's vital - Led
Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Box Tops, The Pretty Things, The Flamin'
Groovies, Willie Alexander and the Boom Boom Band, The Mothers, XTC,
The Cream, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Humble Pie, The Strawberry
Alarm Clock, The Velvet Underground, The Grateful Dead, etc., etc., -
these are all brilliant band names. I think a really good band name
is just as important as a good movie title. How could a director
reason, "I don't care what we name this movie. It doesn't matter.
We'll focus on the acting and the story but thinking up a good name
for the movie is a waste of time. We'll just call it the star of the
movie's fourth adventure movie." A good album is a movie for your
ears and it deserves a dramatic or good title rather than a throwaway
or generic title. I think there's a big difference between "The Jimi
Hendrix Experience" and "Jimi Hendrix Blues Band."

I don't know, some bands' names really grab your attention, like Jersey's
The Swinging Johnsons or Shirley Temple of Doom.
P.S. In Between the Allman Joys (Name ripped off from a candy bar) and
the ABB, Duane & Gregg had a band called Hourglass (Two albums on
Liberty, went nowhere, band broke up. Duane became a 'hired gun' studio
guitarist for awhile and Gregg stayed in L.A. to fufill contract
obligations).
