XTC

British pop band most famous for their very clever name. It's the sort of band you've heard of, somewhere, but can't actually place any songs or albums. I had heard of them, but would have guessed they were some sort of electronica outfit, along the lines of KMFDM or Chemical Bros.
Nope, they are a pop band, one that's done about a dozen records but never had any big hits in the US. They've had a couple sell in the top 10 in the UK, but always had a style a few years too soon or too late, and never had any one huge hit song everyone would remember. They almost get a bonus point for lots of member changes and on stage collapses, culminating in them refusing to tour anymore. But that's not enough to warrant a bonus anything. They do get one for being the only band ever to start with an "X" that's even borderline famous enough to put on this page, thus saving me from the embarrassment of having one empty letter.

The name is brilliant. Yes, it's sort of too cute, XTC = ecstasy, but it's not such a blatant verbal homonym that you're annoyed by it. As I said above, this would be a great name for an electronic band. I mean "ecstasy" the drug, the semi-code letters, it has everything. It's less perfect for a pop band, especially one from the 80's.

No one said a band with a Z for AZZ IZZ a couple of post up
