The Big Book of Rock and Roll Names

How Arcade Fire, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Vampire Weekend, and 532 Other Bands Got Their Names

Adam Dolgins
The Rolling Stones were named after a Muddy Waters song, Oasis after a leisure centre in Swindon, the Boomtown Rats after Woody Guthrie's childhood gang and the Beach Boys were christened by their record company, without their knowledge. This compendium tells the sometimes convoluted tales behind the naming of the music business's most famous artists.
