A lot of bands don't, but there are some who when you hear their name you can kind of picture either what they're going to look like or sound like, or what they stand for, and if you didn't know the genre they operate in you could probably guess from their name.

Who do you think fits this bill?

For me, you know what to expect, even if you've never heard the bands, when you hear these names:
Slayer
Motorhead
Black Sabbath
Manowar
Cannibal Corpse
Iron Maiden (yeah they're all working out as metal bands so far aren't they?)
Twisted Sister

What about the reverse?

You hear Styx for the first time, probably thinking of doom or death metal (if you know your Greek mythology) but no, a pomp/AOR band

Can't think of any others at this hour at the moment...
