Subject: Best Band Name?
Written By: whistledog on 12/10/06 at 3:32 am
What do you think is (or are some of the) best band name(s) ever?
My all-time favourite is Mashmakhan. It's a fun word to say, plus bands named after drugs are always fun to fool people with .. "I just bought a 33 1/3 of Mashmakhan" :D

I've never really cared for group names that start with "The"....not sure why. Someone said Canned Heat, that was a cool one. Also...
Alice in Chains
Tool
Godsmack

I like these names:
The Tragically Hip (I even created my last.fm name based on this name)
Names like "Vertical Horizon" which contradicts itself.
Cold Chisel
Blue Oyster Cult
Iron Maiden
April Wine
Cheap Trick
Barenaked Ladies (And their new album title: "...Are Men" ::))

Definitely Prog Rock bands came up with some of the best............
-Jethro Tull--kind of funny that they named the band after an 18th century farmer/inventor
-Yes--so simple a name for a band with such a complex sound
-Dream Theater--they definitely picked the right name to go along with their music
-Pink Floyd--British band named after two obscure American blues musicians, I like how they honored their influences
-Tangerine Dream-???????? makes no sense what so ever but still a cool name ::)
-King Crimson--too bad it evolved into the bland name of Emerson, Lake and Palmer
and a few more from other genres.....
-.38 Special--such a perfect name for a southern rock band
-Average White Band-- ;D hehe and they played some of the heaviest funk ever
-Grand Funk Railroad--and they didnt play any funk at all
-The Smiths--no one in the band actually has the last name Smith

I like the names of Prince's bands: The Revolution, The New Power Generation
Funkadelic is a great band name
