What kind of band is it? Some names are only meant for certain types of bands. To be honest, I'm not so hot on either one.

Its a Led Zeppelin/Rush/Black Sabbath/ Whatever the hell we feel like covering cover band for right now. The type of music we play is older stuff, that nobody really listens to anymore, so I figured Vast Minority would fit. Chris (DustFerret) said he liked St. Anthony's Fire because its a religious reference as well as a reference to a disease, hence religion is a disease, however I think that would be a better name if we were playing something like heavier Metal.

The band agreed that whichever one of these had the highest amount of votes by monday or reached 10 first would be the band name, so there we go.

Nobody listens to Zep, Rush, and Sabbath? Did I miss something?
