band names 12:37pm 1/24/2006  

A thought finally pushed its way through my addled brain the other day. Unfortunately it wasn't anything useful, like "how to generate a million dollars of funding per year for my lab", and instead was the marginally useless "why the Legends are called the Legends". I realized that their first album Up Against the Legends sounded like Phil Spector producing the Jesus & Mary Chain, while their second Public Radio bore an uncanny resemblance to the early work of the Cure. Legends? Could frontman Johan AngerĂ¥rd be paying homage to his influences by assembling a band to continue their styles, lovingly deemed the Legends? Are the similarities to classic artists not theft but flattery?

I'm smart.
