A friend of mine had his own very tight local group - Blues, Rock, Cajun, C&W, Tex-Mex hybrid - and changed names a few times. The one I liked was Holy Smoke. Amazing how many super-tight/talented groups never make the big scene. He told me once that talented musicians abound, but that the key ingredient in any group's success is ego management.

Led Zeppelin - "When Jimmy Page was assembling the group, Keith Moon (drummer from The Who) got word of his plans and predicted the group would go down "like a lead balloon". Bassist and keyboardist John Entwistle thought it would be "more like a lead zeppelin." Page took the phrase and manager Peter Grant changed the spelling to "led" in order to avoid mispronunciation."
