Your experience would deter anyone from picking artists/albums based on cool names. Two ****ing horrible bands there.

However, the following artists I only listened to because I liked the name and as it turned out I liked the music;

-Super Furry Animals
-The world is a beautiful place and I am no longer afraid to die
-The Twilight Sad
-We Were Promised Jetpacks

Also, David Bowie's album Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars was the first time I properly listened to his material, just because the album had a cool name.
