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’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.: [Atavistic Mustache](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12418476&postcount=78) [The Headless Corpses](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12994529&postcount=2182) ---
