Thread: What is the greatest ever name for a band?

I think the funniest name ever for a band that I have come across is Wargasm. Their music isn't the best, but their name is a riot. The two coolest sounding names I know of are Black Sabbath and Jefferson Airplane. Hawkwind is another great one. I probably vote Jefferson Airplane.

A friend told me about this one band name he made up (could be real) and it was pretty hilarious.

Wished I remembered what it was.

I've always like Toad the Wet Sprocket as a band name.

There is a local band here called Chubby and the West Street Blues Band...The lead singer is 'chubby' to speak nicely.

Two words:

Butthole Surfers

Van Halen is a pretty cool name. Eddie and Alex were lucky to have been born with such a sweet name.

Some other cool band names:

Smashing Pumpkins
Collective Soul
Electric Light Orchestra
Five Man Electrical Band
Marilyn Manson
The Grateful Dead
Led Zeppelin
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Stealers' Wheel
Stone Temple Pilots
Massive Attack

Guess I can't really pick a favorite .

The Lord Weird Slough Feg. Seriously now.

Ultimate Spinach.
That used to be a band, seriously. It was made by some rich guy who put some good musicians together and let them make psychedelic music. xD

Teenage Jesus and the Jerks:
Awful music, great name.

Big Bill and the Wobblies:
One of my personal ideas.

Mimsy and the Borogoves:
I think this is a band. Either that or "Brillig and the Slithy Toves". I think "Bandersnatch" is also a band.

The Fourth Reich:
Neo-Nazi band I plan to form with some Aryan-looking friends. (Not really, but it's still a cool name.)

Furious George:
Part of the very long name of the experimental act formed by myself and a friend. The full name is "Furious George and the Purple Filth Experiment" and the two albums we're building are called "Sex Fantasies of a Teenaged Platypus" and "Scarlet".

Dave Barry also made a list of names he thought up, pretty good stuff.

Emily McHale:
Local band who recently broke up. They were named after a girl who happened to be in the room when they formed. I was their manager/biggest fan and I was scheduled to join them on ukulele after their next outdoor "tour". There were two drummers, neither of whom had musical experience, and a singer/guitarist who could improvise some pretty funny (and insulting) lyrics. So they made it all up as they went along. I bought their EP. Eventually, the asshole guitarist drove away the drummers and they formed a normal band, which sucks. The band, that is, not the fact that they are normal. Actually, in retrospect, the new band sucked, and it sucked that they became normal.

That reminded me of another good one:

Lee Harvey Oswald and the Grassy Knolls.
