U2, UB40, R.E.M., E.L.O., BTO.

What are some other music group names that use initials or are more commonly known by initials than by fully spelled out words?
As shown above, numbers can be part of the name, but the name must include initials (for instance, Blink182 would NOT count).

    I really like AJR

    Here is their "Bang"   and  "Weak"

    (In "Weak," I love the part of the chorus -- "I'm weak --  and what's WRONG with that?")
