And what the bleeding hell does Lynrd Skynyrd mean? (Waits for following explanatory posts).
Pretty good band, body awful name. Same goes for Trousershock BC.
In 1969, Van Zant sought a new name. The group settled on Leonard Skinnerd, a mocking tribute to physical educationteacher Leonard Skinner at Robert E. Lee High School.[5] Skinner was notorious for strictly enforcing the school's policy against boys having long hair.[6] Rossington dropped out of school, tired of being hassled about his hair.[7] The more distinctive spelling "Lynyrd Skynyrd" was being used at least as early as 1970.
So there you have it. Should've called themselves The Hair Bear Bunch if it mattered to them that much.

Also 99% of the NME-bumming mid-2000s indie-dance-student stuff had absolutely shite band names. So shit.
