Jeff Buckley was only named as a solo artist because Sony insisted on it.
He wanted the band to have a name when Grace was released.
Great band too.
Wow, I know a fair amount about Jeff Buckley but I never knew that! Thank you, that's very interesting!
Gene Bowen: I remember he talked about trying to come up with a name for the band, so that it wouldn’t just be Jeff Buckley.
Mick Grondahl: I proposed the name Two Ninas and Jeff liked it a lot, and we all liked it. But the record company was against using another name because the Jeff Buckley name was so well known. Jeff liked the idea of a band name and that was the closest we ever came to doing it.

The "bottom 5" was really tough to decide. I left a lot of worthy bands off this list.
Iron Maiden Pearl Jam The Beastie Boys Arcade Fire The Mighty Mighty Bosstones Wilco The Beatles Radiohead The Rolling Stones moe.
OK. I need to rethink this. I have no idea how I left NOFX & The Hold Steady off this list. I say add them and bump the Beatles & Beastie Boys to confine it to acts that are currently active.
And after seeing Cage the Elephant at Lollapalooza and then open for the Black Keys, I have a feeling they're going to creep into this list at some point.
