The Coolest Band Name Thread

Outside of The Beatles, of course! :smiley:

I like Was (Not Was) myself. I know Don Was is primarily a producer, hence the name, but I also like the music.

So what’s your choice?

(They don’t have to be famous!)

Q

I think “Beastie Boys” should be up there. It’s a great name as it is, but I give it even more points because “BEASTIE” is actually an acronym. It means, “Boys Entering Anarchistic States Towards Internal Excellence.” (Of course, we have to take away a point or two for the redundancy of adding “Boys” to the end of that acronym.)

I saw a cd today by King kong and the monkey spanks- that was great :d

Sweet lord o’jesus and mother mary! Hasn’t this topic been beaten into submission yet? There must be a new one of these every week or two.

I like it! Could be the new Sonny and Cher!

Q

Agitated Badger and The Unkempt Bunnies From Hell

Jehova Witness Protection Program

Fuck. Someone had to do it. The album title? Conduct.

Ethel and the Shameless Hussies

Fizgig, sorry to crap on your parade, but there is already a band called Fuck. AFAIK their latest album is called Pardon My French.

There’s a band in San Francisco called “Shitty Shitty Band Band”.

To heck with their music; I just want a T-shirt.

Man, how did I forget the obligatory Wayne’s World reference:

The Shitty Beatles

and yes, it is a real band.

UFOFU & JFKFC.

And they are indeed shitty.

The Shitty Beatles are also mentioned in The Book of the SubGenius as an example of the principle of “antimusic.”

And further research reveals that the Strokes once appeared under that name.

So it’s not just a clever name.

Alright, I’m done.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. It gets better the more you think about it.
I second the Beastie Boys.
Then again, you have The Champs, who later changed thier name to, of course, The Fucking Champs.
And you can’t go wrong with Anal Cunt.

Not Drowning, Waving

Ken Dodd’s dad’s dog’s dead is a local London band, as are the Llama Farmers. There’s a Deftones tribute band called “the Deft Ones”, which is nice.
