I'm sure we all pronounce foreign titles/bands quite differently too.

You be an Englishman, right? Sir Winston Churchill said something to the effect of "Englishmen have the right to pronounce them foreign names the way they bloody please" (I think this applies to spelling as well, but can't be sure).

Well, an Aussie isn't too far away from an Englishman.

I'm going to make an educated guess since Yugoslavian has many words similar to Russian.
I haven't looked it up , but would appear to mean 100-year pearl game/play.

Igg - rah (as in the god Ra)    stoll- yet- knee  pear-lee
IGRA STAKLENIH PERLI should be read as it is written. That's the same with all others Yougoslav bands who are already in Archives (also Bijelo Dugme with that *j* which is *y* in English). 
All that thing is actually based on the teachings of the German grammarian & philologist Johnn Christop Adelung (1732 – 1806), later taken over by the Serbian language reformer Vuk Karadžić (1787 –  1864) in favor to make our language much easier to learn than the Church-Slavonic language.
Johnn Christop Addelung was believed that the orthography of the written language should match that of the spoken language, as he said, "write as you speak and read as it is written."
So I have no problem with pronunciation of e.g. Tago Mago, lol. 
 
p.s. IGRA STAKLENIH PERLI, not STAKLIENIH. Actually the band took the name of Hermann Hesse's novel The Glass Bead Game.

Interesting! My guess would have been that perli is/are pearl(s) rather than beads. Out of curiosity, does the Serbian language use a Turkish word for pearls (something like inchi/enje)? Sorry for off-topicking Confused

This may be, because we use a lot of Turkish words.
The territory of today's Serbia were hundreds of years , from the time of the fall of Medieval Serbia in fifteenth century to the nineteenth century when the National Revolution started, a part of the Ottoman Empire. So we and the Turks not only use similar and the same words but we are also very close in our national cuisines, mentality .. Ottoman Empire was a "melting pot" actually.

For a while, I thought Haken rhymed with "kraken", but it actually rhymes with "bacon".

I wanted to open this thread too about a year ago but never did. It is fine when I'm the only one pronounciating the band's names but when I did a few radio shows that's when this matter really bugged me. Of course the majority of bands I need help with are mostly Italian bands, I'll come back later with a bunch of names.

How about OOIOO for starters?
