Best.Band.Name.Ever.

Caligula-dee-da.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmies still wins it for me.
Although yeah, Onward Crispin Glover just pulled into second.

…And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead

But someone should let these guys know about the burgeoning buzz for which FilmGeek deserves credit.

Dunno, but I have always thought that “Three Dead Trolls In A Baggie” had it made when it came to the BEST BAND NAME EVARRRR… :smiley:

JFKFC. Holy crap. I love that. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Jennifer Jason Lee Harvey Oswald Spengler, that should be…

Doesn’t beat Onward Crispin Glover, though. Brilliant.

How about Fire!.

So to get the band back for an encore, everyone in the crowd shouts Fire!. :eek:

how about for a gay punk band:

Spacious Anus

Or a real gay punk band: Pansy Division. That’s on my list of favorite real band names.

Even funnier with their logo.

I’m kinda partial to Shitty Shitty Band Band. (No, really.)

There’s also an Austin band called I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness.

Another that always cracked me up:

Bad words within - don’t highlight if you are easily offended…

TRANS-NEPTUNIAN CUNTBOMB

What does that even mean? :smiley:

Among the many band name threads I have seen (and I started a thread myself about a year ago), I thought the best of the bunch was
The Don Knotts Experience OR
The Don Knotts Overdirve

For those Dopers who wanted to start a band, I’d be happy to be the guitarist in the Don Knotts Experience. I suppose we would have to get permission from Mr Knotts about using his name, though.

Scroll down to June 26th.

I thought of one the other day:

Zombie Midwife

But I can’t decide if it’s a band name, a video game, a user name, or a TV show…

Band name? REO Speedealer.

Usually the music of these bands with clever names sucks horribly though.

There was a great British rock band fronted by a guy called Alex Harvey, called The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Then Alex had an accident and was in traction for a year so the other four members of the band recorded an album without him, and this was *officially * credited to The Sensational Alex Harvey Band Without Alex. I’ve always thought this was unique and wonderful and glorious in some indefinable way, and my favourite band name ever.

Oh, and just for one extra brownie point for cuteness, they called the album ‘Fourplay’. (Incidentally, it’s a pretty mediocre effort, except for an outstanding rock ballad called Love You For A Lifetime which should have been a big hit but wasn’t.)

i can’t believe someone mentioned I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness! I’ve seen the band name listed in the Chronicle and always wanted to drive up to austin to see them. they immediately popped into my head when i saw the thread title

Know what? “Interociter” is pretty friggin’ cool! Dibs on bass!

Now where could we get enormous fake foreheads…?

Meh. The best is still Kathleen Turner Overdrive.
