Best Band Names - mrlayance - 02-17-2005

Name ONE band that you think has the best name.

I am going to say "Live"

- fingernailsonhull - 02-17-2005

Dave Matthews Band

:nooooo :nooooo :nooooo

Just kidding. I always thought Faith No More was a really cool name.

Pearl Jam, or Rush. I think Pearl Jam is actually the name of one of Eddie's grandma's recipes.

- The Darkest Canuck - 02-17-2005

Nirvana

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

The Wu-Tang Clan

and what was that other one...

Damn, I was going to use that one.

Death From Above is a great name... having to add 1979 to it makes it a bit clunkier though, too bad about that whole legal issue.

Here's a name for you... Ned's Atomic Dustbin. I don't know a whole lot about the band, but I think they were popular with the college crowd in the early to mid-90s, and they had some catchy songs... but how's that for a cool band name?

Theory of a deadman

I like

Coldplay, still cant figure that one out

Salmonblaster-strange but cool, and from my hometown

Alice In Chains-screams rock and roll

Red Hot Chili Peppers-if you didnt know them, what would you think they would sound like, lol

The Ghandarvas-another head scratcher, but catchy

Greatest name ever:

LED ZEPPELIN

One of the funniest:

DICKLESS- only because all members are female :lol:

A Few of the worst (IMO):

Nickleback
Limp Bizkit
Silverchair
Good Charlotte
Blink 182
Simple Plan and so on....too many to name

my chemical romance
the manic street preachers
the catherine wheel
carolines spine

just a few i think are cool

- BigRon - 02-17-2005

I like "The New Pornographers".

Rage Against The Machine

- Stephen Dame - 02-17-2005

We've got some Cool Names on the Ottawa Indie Scene:

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.

Shitloads of Fuckall

- hotmetal401 - 02-17-2005

I always thought that Post No Bills would make a great band name, especially in a large city where that phrase is plastered all over construction sites and such.

As for legitimate band names... Whiskeytown, Uncle Tupelo, Led Zeppelin (sheerly for the irony) Franz Ferdinand (I'm a history buff, what can I say)

Cheers

The Hitchiking Gurus
Statues
Varge
True Theories

Sorry to nitpick, but didn't the man say "name ONE" band?

Mine would be:
