Which bands had the best names?

[Adriel1]

how about Green Jelly

[Guest Game of Chance]

Maybe you do look like her...hmmm.  Lucky! The only rock and roll comparison I've ever gotten was Neal Young, and that sucks. It was about a week after that happened, that I cut my hair. (Years ago.)

I'm just thankfull that I can say that I have no idea what Dave Mathews looks like. As for Steve-O, I don't see it. And I know, you've got the whole "Steve" thing going and all, so I can see why someone might call you that but I don't think that you look like him. Is Steve-O a rock star? Again, I'm thankfull that I don't know.

I like how she went the extra mile and alphabetized her list for us...even though a lot of people on here wouldn't have noticed.

[Paper Hearts]

The Libertines. I love this one. I want the tattoo. 'Libertine' is one of my favorite words. And drinks. And bands.

I didn't know a Libertine was a drink.

Yes, I've always liked that name. And Black Tape for a Blue Girl.

[Scary Guy]

Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band

L7

Black Sabbath

N.W.A. (yeah I don't like the music but picking that name took balls)

Rednex

and just about any one with a double meaning behind it.

[Guest Game of Chance]

I was thinking of posting L7

I also like Massive Attack

i meant to have a-ha on my list too. forgot that it was not on there. looking it over i forgot a lot but i think i over did it as it is

[Shade Everdark]

I know it's supposed to be his (stage?) name, but I like Tom Waits.

Let's see, what else....

Slint. I just like the way it sounds. Slint. It sounds cool. It's like "slit" and "Clint" together, and how can that not be cool?

This Mortal Coil. Any band that references Shakespeare in its name and has female vocals that wispy and awesome is okay by me.

The Kinki Kids. This is a Japanese boy band, and all the expats laugh at them. The name has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with actually being kinky (the Kinki is a plain in central Japan which cradles Osaka, Kobe, and to a lesser extent, Nara and Kyoto), but makes perfect sense to us by accident. I love it.

Godspeed You Black Emperor! There is something larger than life, yet intentionally vague, about that name, much like with their music. It fits well, and is just a good band name.

Morgoth. About the best name you could have for a heavy metal group.

My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult. The name is unapologetically over the top, and I love that. I mean, c'mon, look at my name.

[unchaste]

Orgy...yeah, cuz it's orgy

Smashing Pumpkins...you have to love the fact that it's British slang for "nice tits". I love British slang. Bugger off, you bloody wanker!

The Cure...is it really the cure? The cure for what?

Queen...and some still found it a shock about our dear departed Freddie Mercury's sexuality

The Violent Femmes...awesome

[the eternal]

you guys have picked some awesome ones.

I wish I had my collection in front of me

Black Flag---simple and forceful like the band

---bonus pts: best logo ever too
