God…can we reach some sort of agreement to try to avoid artists whose names end in “E”? For God’s sake… Eric Clapton ---

**blur** : Seven Year Bitch is awesome. My favorite song of theirs is “Dead Men Don’t Rape”. Just a little subversion on my part… And didn’t we already _discuss_ this problem with “E” artists? Never mind that **hardygrrl** already listed that band… Crap… Edgar Winter [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/heres-a-band-name-game/107684.md?page=17) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/heres-a-band-name-game/107684.md?page=19)
