Band name abbreviations

Good morning all.
Could you please refrain from using abbreviations for band names in topic titles. Doing so would save me having to open a thread to see wether I give a rats arse or not.
Sincerely,
RBM ;)

But, what about bands like REM, UB40, TLC & U2?
Should we have to write 'Rapid Eye Movement'?

But typing out Black Rebel Motorcycle Club exacerbates my carpal tunnel syndrome and having to bang out all of I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness makes my fingers gnarled.

I got my VR tickets today. After all the BS I ended up with a few extra since my friend and I both got through during the public sale.
