Coolest Band Names?

[Moonlight_Graham]

This is the coolest band name i've seen, and yes there's a band called this:

 

Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives

[Mike]

I agree, Radiohead is pretty good. Also:

Death Cab For Cutie

Rage Against The Machine

Primus

Talking Heads

[ryanolmstead]

Mr. Bungle, there it is

[saturnine]

apostle of hustle

[Shortcut To Moncton]

All band names are cool--except for The Smiths or something.

[mrs jesus]

Mr. Bungle, there it is

that's a stupid name.

[HoboFactory]

Local Band from Buffalo NY:

 

Anal Pudding

Yeah local bands try to hard to have names with shock-value, but they're all so easy to come up with. e.g. spermgrinder

[CaptainRocket]

I didn't bother reading the entire thread but Death Cab for Cutie apparently got their name from a scene in the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour movie.

 

There is a local high school screamo band called Sophistication is Ballroom Dancing and that is my favourite band name at the moment.

gremwar. oh those crazy kids...

[Prometheon]

Yeah most of these names are just kinda 'meh.' I was gonna name my band Disastrophe, whichI thought was pretty cool (btw its still being considered so dont steal it biatches.)

 

Oh, and an interesting story about the Goo Goo Dolls as they were mentioned before): They used to be called the Sex Maggots long before they made it big, and their label at the time amde them change it. So one day they got drunk and saw a magazine add for a 'Goo Goo Doll.'

 

ALl of the band members hate the name, wish they could change it, and think it has afected their success and album sales (ie: they think they would have done better with a different name.) Hahaha, and they said this a little whole back, so slightly before they were as popular as they are now. I did them for some music project...3 or 4 years ago?

[NationofCool]

Afghanistan Banana Stand

Full Throttle Aristotle

I used to listen to them A LOT. On 8th grade I believe it was, then I discovered grunge and have never been the same.

soundtrack of our lives

[Prometheon]

Do you still like em? They're not my favourite anymore but every now and then I'll give them a good long listen. Long Way Down still rocks me. Hard.

[Shiri]

Haven't listened to them in a long time. I usually do when I feel nostalgic but that hasn't happened in a while. What's your favorite album of theirs?

My friend has always thought Matthew Good Band was an awesome name, he says, "Dude, if one of us had the last name Good, we would definitly use their name for our band"

[Prometheon]

I dunno, they were consistantly good, but their sound did evolve quite a bit. I love Boy Named Goo, Dizzy and Super Star Carwash, but all for different reasons and in different ways. I think Dizzy would probably take it though.

For english, we had to wright lyrics once, and create a band, and my friend Matt called his "Matthew's Good Band" He was my hero for the day.

Yeah, Dizzy is what got them famous and it's the first one I heard. It's a really good rock/pop record. He's good with hooks and catchy tunes. Though A Boy and Superstar definitely have their moments. The other I haven't heard, well, I heard Gutterflower but it sucked.
