Because I find the question you are asking to be ridiculous. Open a dictionary. Poke your finger at a word. Add “the” in front of it. There’s a band name.
Oh look, there’s never been a big rock band named The -------- ; wow. :rolleyes:
There’s how many tens of thousands of words in the English language? And there’s been how many “notable” rock bands? A couple hundred?
Do you really just want a freaking laundry list of words with “the” in front of them posted here? Is that what you’re curious about?
The Aardvark
That’s just the first page of my pocket dictionary. Odds are good (like, really fucking good) that none of those has been used by a “notable” rock band, because we only have had a couple, maybe a few, hundred “notable” bands in the 50 or 60 years of rock and roll history.
I asked which ones were “obvious” or “most obvious”. I did not want a list of all untaken “the X” band names.
Furthermore, this desire of mine is obvious from my OP and first response.
I guess I can stay off my meds after all.

Those are all obvious and straightforward rock band names. Further, most of them are excellent names. JUST LIKE NEARLY EVERY WORD IN THE DICTIONARY WOULD BE A GREAT BAND NAME IF IT HAD “THE” IN FRONT OF IT.
Really? “The Abatement” is an obvious and straightforward rock band name? It sounds like the name of a Woody Allen movie.
But even if you’re right that they’d all be fine rock band names, they’re not at all equally obvious or likely.
I don’t know–I definitely think that some are better than others. If you think it’s a stupid idea for a thread, why post in it?
I started thinking of insect names (because of the Beatles and Crickets). Apparently there is a band called the Fire Flies. I can’t find anything for Butterflies. There is a group called the Bees. On Gilligan’s Island there was a group called the Mosquitoes but I don’t think there was in real life…
Personally I’m getting sick of band names. Performers should just use their own given names.
Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, Starr.
and so on.

Some names, however, might never have been used by any band ever if the people who came up with it that one time hadn’t formed a band - Toad the Wet Sprocket, UB40, Panic At The Disco!, Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Toad the Wet Sprocket was originally the name of an imaginary band in a Monty Python “rock news” bit, so it was probably inevitable that someone would name their real band after it. I wouldn’t be surprised if there had been other Toad the Wet Sprockets who just never made it past the garage band level.

You’re just jealous cause you can’t groove, white boy!
Do not miss the YJJCYCGWB World tour.
Festula
Festula? Did you mean Fistula ?
I can’t find a band called Epic Loser . Can’t find one called Epic Fail either, but there’s gotta be one somewhere .

My favorite in this realm is the really wonderful (band and name) Two Loons For Tea .

Random Example would be a good band name. Didn’t see it on google or allmusic.
I always thought Sudetenland would be a good name for a pretentious art rock band.
If you don’t like the thread perhaps you could find another to post in.
