Awesome Band Names

[Skummy]

I'm going to have to amend my list to include Wolves In The Throneroom.

And thinking about it, considering that none of them were brothers or called Walker, The Walker Brothers is quite good.

Haha, how could I forget The Gordon Solie Motherfuckers. And, even though they're dreadful, The Dean Malenkos deserve a special mention. Incidentally, I was discussing the Gordon Solie Motherfuckers, The Smackdown!, The Dean Malenkos and The Ultimate Warriors with my brother over MSN one day, and coming up with what wrestler names would make good band names (he now insists on his next band being "The Jim Ross Palsy Syndicate"), and lo-and-behold who should be playing at my local indie club the next day....The Ultimo Dragons. Class.

Anyway, good band names - World's End Girlfriend. Rolls off the tongue, connotations of BIGness, all very lovely.

NWA.

Simple, yet effective. And it scares old conservative women.

Haha, that's fucking killer.

I'm not a huge fan of Gordon Solie Motherfuckers, but they're not bad either. I guess if you just enjoy them for what they are (if you can enjoy that kind of sound) it's not too bad. It's funny that people are mentioning the Ultimate Warriors because I just recently checked them out, thought they were dreadful, but I had to hear them based on the name.

I did have a an idea to possibly start a band and call it the Darren Drozdov Experience, but that'll never come to fruition. I always liked the sound of the name Darren Drozdov though.

The Receiving End of Sirens is pretty cool, and for some odd reason I like the initials it gets shortened down to (TREOS).

Bear Vs. Shark is awesome, I'd love to see that fight >_>

Send More Paramedics, zombiecore > *

Good Names

InMe

Bloc Party

Cream

Bad names

Babyshambles

Biffy Clyro

Dirty Pretty Things

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I actually like all those bands. Not the names though.

[Jack_Attack]

I always thought the Babyshambles was quite a good name, better than The Libertines (although the latter have the better music by far).

[Regia]

Barenaked Ladies

Blood OR Whiskey

CKY (or rather the full name Camp Kill Yourself)

Gutted With Broken Glass

I Killed The Prom Queen

Infected Mushroom

The Mad Capsule Markets

The Men They Couldn't Hang

I like all those.

[YI]

Fuck, how could I forget The Dean Malenkos. Awesome band.

I quite like the Arctic Monkeys as well.

And even though they were fucking AWFUL, Test Icicles had an awesome name.

And, if I get a new band together (Me and a friend with a shitload of recording equipment are trying to get somethign together), we're going to name ourselves "Shadow From Gladiators"...which is a name and a half.
