Um, so like, My Bloody Valentine took their name from a Good Charlotte song?
How do you spell chronological?

While I'm sure they don't mind a tip of the hat to CCR, the band originates from an area where the Green River runs. And I think their name was more of an homage to the Green River Killer, who killed like 50 women in the 80s.

I hate this band. PJ Harvey should sue them.

Although admittedly somewhat of a stretch. . .
Remy Zero got their name after mishearing the repeated phrase "mammy's hero" in the Kate Bush song "Army Dreamers"
