My immediate first thought when I saw the thread title. Took me years to get over it, even though I was into a bunch of their contemporaries and successors. I didn't give them a chance until the Temporary Residence 3xLP reissue, at which point I realized they (A) were freakin' amazing and (B) connect the dots between many of the aforementioned bands. Still a godawful name, though.

European rock can be really bad for this:

Does It Offend You, Yeah?
We Are Enfant Terrible
Kap Bambino

I sneered at all three when I saw them in record stores; now I own multiple albums by each

Youtube has algorithmed me a band or singer called Hiatus Kaiyote. A name like that definitely puts me off.

Pro-Pain were basically a poorer man's Biohazard, but early Crumbsuckers was good.

Was Hank Hill their primary songwriter?
