Blowfish can be plural, but I think you’re right and it shouldn’t be on here. The name is from two of their old friends (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hootie_%26_the_Blowfish), so it’s like saying Simon and Garfunkel is plural.

I’d also argue that Alice in Chains shouldn’t be on here.

Is a posse not plural as well? As in Insane Clown Posse. And Bloodhound Gang?

It shouldn’t be a matter if taste 😛
