Two examples that come to me immediately are Enya and Smashing Pumpkins. If music starts feeling stale, I can put on Enya and music feels new again. It's such a pleasant departure from the standard pop/rock/RnB etc sounds that dominate (even if I like those artists).

Anybody have their own equivalents?

I want it descriptive but also at least somewhat quirky. An odd twist is that peculiar naming was how I dealt with boredom of programming in my day job — it was a bit of a specialty of mine, so now having only a boring straightforward name for stuff that's actually interesting is downright embarrassing. I probably need to get drunk and fire up the thesaurus.

It’s tricky because the name and sidebar carry the job of letting people know the nuance that it’s not just for posting bands we like.
