What are the longest band names listed on PA? And the shortest? Are there any ridiculously long band names out there beyond the world of Prog? ------------- rotten hound of the burnie crew |

For the longest name, some Post-Rock bands are to be checked. For the shortest name, Yes is already quite short. |

I seem to recall a band called t whose reviews occasionally turn up on the front page. There have been numerous bands/artists with one-letter names, but that's the only prog one I can think of offhand. ------------- "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." -- H.L.

| I remember seeing an album cover of an early Vangelis release that had his whole name ( Evangelos Papathanassiou) written from corner to corner. No wonder they shortened it! |

What an awesome name! For anyone who doesn't understand German, it means "The Anarchistic Evening Entertainment". |

| No-Man, a band here on PA with Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson, was originally called: No Man Is An Island (Except The Isle Of Man). That may be not the longest name but probably one of the longest. |
