Best band names?

[mart]

Frankly, I find many of them pretty pathetic. Either an adolescent wish to shock their parents or the result of bad education and/or Dyslexia.

Mart

[RetroDon]

The Scissor Fits.

Great name that, as you can imagine it was an unknown punk outfit circa 1980... I won a single of theirs at a fair in 1981 called "The Government Knows About UFO's"

[Rude Boy]

I always liked Pink Floyd as a name, it's suitably vibey and it just rolls off the tongue.

[MegaTon]

Let me think?

Nashville Pussy, Mangled Clit and Satan's Penis (a couple of Lemmy's fav metal bands) all American. So no suprises there then.

[rockman]

Someone told me of a band called 'Geezers of Nazerath' - now THAT'S good!!

[Deuce Bigolo]

Names mean didley squat

Its all about the music

You can have all your clever titles & attitude to back it up but if the music stinks then its a waste of space

Spandau ballet epitomise this IMO...dressed and made up to kill backed up by stock standard bland safe music...I've always wondered what happened after To Cut a Long Story Short....musically everything after it was light years away...record companies don't stifle artists....MY ASS they don't

cheers

[MensWorldMayfair]

[steve56]

cosifanitutti did some nude work i recall.

[duff paddy]

Hackney Five O - superb name

[Rude Boy]

Yeah and "Duff Paddy" is pretty fucking cool too!
