Top ten bands that go by initials

To make their name easier to remember, some musicians tend to abbreviate and go by acronyms. While some bands strictly go by their initials, others will choose at what proper time they want to abbreviate. Here is my list of the first ten that came to mind right away. Post yours in the comments.

10. GBH - Grievous Bodily Harm


9. ICP - Insane Clown Posse


8. KMFDM - Kein Mitleid Für Die Mehrheit



7. NIN - Nine Inch Nails


6. REM - Rapid Eye Movement



5. CKY - Camp Kill Yourself


4. POD
- Payable On Death


3. NOFX - No F***ing Straight-Edge


2. AFI - A Fire Inside


1. HIM - His Infernal Majesty
