^ Janszoon has beaten me to it with this observation. Some bands chose a name that is just swamped with links when you try to search for them. Two examples are the German bands Vox and Can, although to be fair they chose their names before web searching was commonplace.
Other bands, though, shoot themselves in the foot right from the start by choosing a name which is difficult to spell or pronounce. Step forward OFGKTA, the band that Machine mentioned, and Lynerd Skynerd.
