I don't know, man. In 2007, "that one's taken" pretty much has to mean 
"another band is actively using the name right now," not "another band 
used it 10 years ago, released a couple of singles on Polyvinyl, then 
broke up." Because there *is* a shortage of good creative band names, 
and it's only gonna get worse.

Of course, I may have a more liberal view of this than some. I'd 
personally be thrilled to see some emo-orchestrcore band calling 
themselves "Led Zeppelin" as well, although I guess the upcoming Zep 
reunion will extend their stranglehold on the name for another decade or 
two.

There's an idea: if you wanna keep a name after you break up, you'd best 
do the nostalgia-reunion-show thing on a regular basis.
