lol yeah i know what you mean.. they did go downhill! the whole era did, howeeverrr, they did choose a cool name
I'll probably just wind up jogging down most of my favorite bands here... Muse, ACDC, Pogues, Rusted Root, Spiderbait, Bloodhound Gang, Placebo, Tom Waits, The Backsliders, Misfits, Crash Test Dummies, Thousand Foot Krutch, Cradle Of Filth, Foo Fighters (which were UFO incidents reported by WW2 airmen).
Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Fleetwood Mac. You can't get much better than that. I really really love why Zeppelin got their name. It's just perfect. Haha.
Start a grindcore band and call it "Moksha". Or you can call it "Moshka", which means "fly", as in... house fly... in Russian.
