A quick answer: *branding is for the long term and a deeper relationship with people
*just the music will make you a (with a tons of luck) one hit wonder or a year max of listeners

I disagree with not paying attention to the name. Having a stupid name and having a non-notable name are two very different things. Arctic Monkeys maybe a stupid name but it's a name that stands out. On the other hand if you have a really boring name or a super complicated name that people can't even remember that's gonna work against you. Your name is something that will build your image alongside your branding. At the same time your name should go at least partially hand in hand with your branding. Your name will stay with you throughout your long tiring career. One day you will be reduced down to that one name. So if you're picking a stage name, I definitely think it should be done wisely.
