I know, it’s a big board meme, right? Cannot even guess how many times I’ve read it, and almost always agreed, it WOULD make a great band name!
Have you done it? Do you remember it? Please share it with us again!
As it happens I actually know some folks in need of suggestions.
So, please, bring it on, an avalanche please!
I muttered it once to a fellow TA during staff briefing when the headmaster mentioned “Kenny and the Caretakers”…
This morning it occurred to me that “The Naysayers” would be a good band name.

I’ve adopted ‘I’d see that band’ as my go to phrase. I saw it on Nurse Jackie. Last time I used it on the boards was in the Tila Tequila crazy time thread, something about demons putting on their meatsuits to wreak havoc, and I thought "Daemon and the Meatsuits,’ I’d see that band.’

“Band name” is one of my running schticks, but I try to be a little creative about it … “didn’t they headline the 17th stage a Bonaroo last year?”
E.g.:
My wife wanted to find about a recent NBA scandal, and I thought her google search term was good, if a bit long:
JR Smith and the Untied Shoelaces
Gangrene Clitoris is my stock should-be band name.
Mind-controlling Sex Zombie Sperm
Inbred Jew Man
Death by Lilac
Fecal Cauliflower
Earl “Snake-Hips” Tucker and the Salamanders. 
I just found this old post of mine with a Bonnaroo reference … it’s a four-fer:

“Dumpster Juice” --from a cilantro thread, of course.
Just did a search through my posts that had the phrase “band name” in it.

Up-for-grabs names I’ve thought of:
The Syndrome
Monarch
The Five Joaquins (best if there’s neither five people nor anyone named Joaquin*)
Domesticators
Glass Over Ottawa
*Totally had to google this name to get the spelling. The way I had it in my mind was apparently all kinds of wrong.
And the hits just keep on coming: The Tragedy of the Commons.

My favorite candy is “Squirrel Nut Zippers” and I’ve always thought that would make a great band name, then someone told me it already was.
