love the purple tolex. definitely missed opportunity to name their company Neu.

edit-
oh now I get it. his name.
I used to be extra dumb and all the New York Dolls gave me the creeps except Johnny Thunders so I never understood why they are well regarded and then I educated myself and sadly when he was dying I saw some stuff on Sylvain Sylvain and he seemed like such a good guy and great guitar lover and writer.
It was one of the lessons I've learned about first impressions not carrying as much weight as I thought and musicians are gonna have dumb hats and if they like to look at themselves in a mirror it doesn't make them posers 100%
And he definitely has a cool name.

OK, I've edited the thread title.

(move to "music" sub-forum, don't move to "music" sub-forum? I don't care. :whateva: )

I also found this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYL

So, there're other possibilities for us to discuss.

Like this:

Another wrong first impression. I thought because of the name they were cheesy wurst and I lumped them into Sonic Youth making fun of Bros. Turns out years later I'm wowed they sound a lot like sonic youth.
