Pearl Jam has always stood out to me, with Me First and the Gimme Gimme's getting the vote for hilarity.

Donkey Punch
The Swing'n Neck Breakers
The Department Of Foriegn Affairs
The Stink Finger String Quartet
(Okay, I made that last one up)
But I'd have to say that "Broken Social Scene" takes the cake in the bigs.
How could you forget the Ottawa bar band favourites....Me and Him...or Persona.
Further to a previous post, there's another band here in Ottawa called BigJeezusTruck...haven't seen em' but apparently they're pretty loud and asskickish....oh and I can't forget my cousin's band, The Bush Pilots.
My professional vote goes to A Flock of Seagulls
Goulet!!!
i was going to start this thread today, but when i wake up..here it is!! i think zeppelin could be the all time best name...also like the stone roses, Pulp, and bowie's forgotten band Tin Machine
Supersuckers!
Also like Big Sugar, Social Distorton...
and Rage against the Machine, because it's just really fits with the music

I didn't know BigJezusTruck were from around here. When I was growing up in suburban Toronto, they had a pretty big following at my high school, ya know, among the kids in black and ripped apparel.

Regardless of being favored, it really is a cool name for a band.

berserker!!!
(As in, "Yo, Olaf, do "berserker")
though a song title, it should be a band name (and probably is somewhere in Scandinavia)

Aw dude, there's no way that's a coincidence...Big Jeezus Truck must've 'lifted' the name from Big Ass Truck, since these posers didn't form until 1996!!
That ain't cool.

ATTN BEANMEDIC: I formally submit a request that you assess Slim Reaper and the boys of Big Jeezus Truck a minimum of 500 tool points for lack of originality and outright thievery.
i would have to say alice in chains is my favourite followed by jane's addiction and although i hate the band i think dashboard confessionals is pretty cool
"Free Beer And Chicken"
I always loved that band name.
Especially seeing it on the billboard as you walk up.
Hmm, free beer and chicken tonight. Cool.
