Bands with nicknames?

I was thinking about the Stones' monkier 'The Greatest Rock n Roll Band in the Word' and wondering about what other bands have nicknames.
The Beatles of course - The Fab Four, The Mop Tops,
Who else?
(even within the stones we have The Glimmer Twins)
I am thinking about bands, not individual singers/musicians

I think Kurt Cobain called the Stone Temple Pilots the Butt Pimple Toilets.
In the American South, Lynyrd Skynyrd always gets shortened to just Skynyrd.
Radioheadcheese is another snarky one I like.

I've been a pretty big Who fan for a couple of decades, but have never heard them referred to as The Gits...
