Hmm, the name Tool always prevented me from checking them out. I thought that was silly of me, and so I did check them out eventually...and came away wishing I'd stuck to my previous disposition.

I love them, but it took a long time and alot of 'Sounds like a bunch of ***gots' comments from my friends before could get them into the Flaming Lips.

The Flaming Lips doesn't strike me as a particularly out-there name :s

I hate bands who's names make them out to be worse than they are.

A good example of this is The Cardiacs who sound like some shitty Oi / 2nd gen punk act rather than the wonderful psychadelic , avant garde post punk band they actually are.

I guess the name doesn't bother me too much - I still listen to Hoobastank!
