I think Garbage has suffered from that name. For years I didn't listen to them, just because that put me off. Shirley Manson is supremely talented and I love a lot of their music.
Did you avoid listening to Meatloaf out of fear it would make you hungry? (Sorry, couldn't resist). I've never really had any qualms with band names (as far as them turning me off of listening to them), though I do think "Imagine Dragons" sounds like a PBS kids show.
I'm not a huge Eastwood fan. A guitar player in a band that I was in worshipped him so I've seen a lot of his work. High Plains Drifter is my favorite. I read that John Wayne despised it. I also like the film where he was in the Secret Service. John Malkovich was in that one.
Alanis Morrisette played God -in Kevin Smith's ( a local hero around here where I live topped only by the Boss) Dogma. It's worth a look if you can find it. I think that I got the last copy at a reasonable price before it got expensive. The cast is unbelievable. Damon, Affleck, Jason Lee, Hayek, Alan Rickman, Linda Fiorentino, George Carlin, Chris Rock, Jay and Silent Bob and of course, Morrisette as God.
"In the Line of Fire" (the Secret Service one) was a great movie. It's kind of funny that he played an old, over-the-hill guy back then, and that was over 30 years ago. I've seen Dogma. Thought it was okay, though I can't really stand Damon.
The Adjustment Bureau was great. So was Good Will Hunting. I thought Damon was very good in the Martian. I don't go out of way to see him but I generally like him. I know a lot of people don't like his politics but I really don't pay attention to him off screen.
I was a big fan of Eastwood when he appeared on Rawhide. Guess that shows my age. He redefined Westerns and brought a European feel into them. I saw Gran Torino and was not impressed. It's a little much to expect an artist to have a 50 year peak. Richard Thompson and Stephane Grapelli maybe but not many more.

Haha, actually I kinda did. Always thought Meatloaf was a weird name.
Most band names don't bother me, but for some reason Garbage just never seemed to fit. Besides, meatloaf is delicious, garbage is just garbage.
