Johnny Rukavina -

I have to add my vote for "The Gay Sportscasters".

Emily -

I know nothing about their music, but I would like to add "Death By Nostalgia" to the list.

Mandy -

I'm glad you added Veruca Salt. This one is one of my all time favourite band names. If it's the overall impression on the appropriateness of the band's name to their musical genre, then I too think "The Doobie Brothers" deserve a nod.

And "Grand Popo Football Club" is just plain fun.

Lisa -

I personally would have to include "Shudder to Think" and possibly "Guided by Voices" ... which I think indicates a strange and possibly deeply twisted passion for gerunds.

Alan -

Al Tuck and No Action is the best

Will -

There's something mystical and inviting about Phantom Planet.

Mella -

Midnight Oil
Chixdiggit
The Town Pants
None More Black

And although it's lost its freshness, I think "The Who" is a brilliant name.

Martin -

To me, the best bands have always had a "The" in front of their names.

The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
The Police
The The
The Beach Boys

Hey, that's five.

Peter Rukavina -

My favourites:

<ul>
<li>Hank and the Honkers</li>
<li>Reverend Ken and The Lost Followers</li>
<li>Fred J. Eaglesmith and the Flying Squirrels</li>
<li>Bob's Your Uncle</li>
<li>Martha And The Muffins</li>
</ul>

Steven Garrity -

Excellent suggestions so far - I don't have much left to add (I also had the honour of discussing this with Daniel before it was posted, where I gave my nod to the Smashing Pumpkins).

I've always enjoyed Sixpence None the Richer and Poor Old Lu - both names are references to the writings of C. S. Lewis (Mere Christianity and , respectively).

<p>Mike Knott has had a few great band names: Lifesavors, L.S.U. (Life Savors Underground), and the brilliant Aunt Betty's Ford (which was forced by either Ford or the Betty Ford Clinic to change to the oddly truncated Aunt Bettys - amazing album though).

A few others: Undercover, The Lost Dogs, The Choir (formerly The Youth Choir).

Steven Marshall -

On a very different vein to the sorts of groups/solo artists everyone else has been suggesting, I quite like the names (and music) of:
<ul>
<li>The Unspoken Heard (Artist "collective")</li>
<li>Mr. Lif (Solo)</li>
<li>Organized Konfusion (Duo)</li>
<li>Reflection Eternal (Duo)</li>
<li>J-Live (Solo)</li>
</ul>

Matt -

I like "The Band." Simple. Clean.

Mandy -

"The Band" is also excellent.

One that gets me is "Flock Of Seagulls" because. *Warning, Dita's dirty little secret to be revealed* I'm deathly afraid of seagulls. Good tunes though.

Rob -

I always appreciated "Spacehog" as a band name. Reminded me of that skit on the Muppets "Pigs in space".

Alan -

One more - The Men They Couldn't Hang. I want their first album again. Had it 12 years ago.

Criag Everett -

I could make an argument for "John Wilkes Kissing Booth" ,"John Couger Concentration Camp",and "Sandy Duncans Eye".

Pete -

The Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra And Tra-La-La Band. Because it's so delightfully silly.

Sigur Rós, because it's so pretty to say. Seeyur-rohs. Mm.

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, because it's scary.

Nick Burka -

I suppose these got left off because they're tiny east coast bands, but as for their names:<ul><li>The Rudy Huxtable Project</li><li>Old Field White Spruce</li></ul>Pure gold.

ffoeg -

Best band name - making fun of another band name...REO Speed Dealer!

Melissa -

I tend to enjoy the goofier band names like Rainbow Butt Monkeys and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

Steven Garrity -

Also good: Punky Brewster.

Matt McQuaid -

Here goes...
1. bunchoffuckinggoofs
- Pure awesome.
2. I Can Put My Arm Back On, You Can't
- It's hard to argue with Astar the Robot.
3. No Use for a Name
- Doesn't get any more punk that not having a use for a name.
4. Toad the Wet Sprocket
- Nothing like parlaying a Monty Python reference into Top 40 success.
5. Hal Johnson and Body Break
- The seldom-used alter-ego of my very own Rude Mechanicals.

Daniel Burka -

Matt, there are actually tears in my eyes I'm laughing so hard at these suggestions. "Toad the Wet Sprocket" is just a damn good suggestion, but "I Can Put My Arm Back On, You Can't" and "Hal Johnson and Body Break" are fantastically hilarious. For any non-Canadians, these were both television commercials for War-Amps and Participaction that played a number of years ago.

Peter Rukavina -

The absolute best band name ever was Reverb Motherfuckers. My friend Bill Coleman was a protege.

Matt McQuaid -

Glad you like the names, Daniel.

As for Hal and Joanne, they're still going strong. Perhaps you lads at silverorange, even though you're already traipsing through fjords and organizing disc golf tournaments, would be interested in forking over five bills to have them come and talk to you about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. More info here.

m -

I'd like to see a whole new list for great backup band names. I think I can say without hesitation that number one should be Bootsy Collins & Bootsy's New Rubber Band. I was reminded by the post nominating Me First and the Gimme Gimmes which, I feel, should come in at number 2.

m -

also, this is not a real band name but something Nicholas came up with when he, Peter and I were discussing possible names for a punk band a few years ago: Anarchy Schmanarchy
Still makes me laugh.

Mella -

"Anarchy Schmanarchy" ...Haha ...I love that!
Another great one I remembered: "Surrender Dorothy."
And Pete mentioned scary names: "Stabbing Westward."

Steven Garrity -

Shame on all of us for leaving out The Dead Milkmen.

Paul Anderson -

Great top five list. Also, some real good responses.
In keeping with the spirit of appropriateness of the band's name to their musical genre I offer the following:

Led Zeppelin
Stray Cats
Beach Boys
Anthrax
Belle and Sebastian
Lords of Acid
Moody Blues
Muddy Waters
The Jesus and Mary Chain

I also have a whole list of favorite band names (that aren't necessarily appropriate for the musical genre) , but I'll save that for later...

Nils Ling -

Too much fun. For great band names that match the musical content, let's not forget:
*Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellas (featuring Kevin Blackmore as "Buddy" - Kevin was previously in a band with Lorne Elliot called:)
* Free Beer! (Imagine that on a pub marquee in St. John's)
*Crash Test Dummies (not "The")
*Barenaked Ladies (Ditto)
*Butthole Surfers (can't believe nobody mentioned them)
*Dead Can't Dance (Weird, spooky music? You bet)
*Great Big Sea (No question what you'll hear)
*Weddings, Parties, Anything (Aussies like succinct business cards)
*Guitar Souls (Say it with an East Coast accent ...)
And oh, come on, for a band name that leaves no doubt about what kind of music they play:
* Dead Kennedys

That's ten, pick the top five ... and sorry, Martin, not a single "The" to be found ...

Nils Ling -

... or is it "Dead CAN Dance"? I always forget ...

Pete -

Ooh, I forgot The James Orr Complex. 'Cos it's just one guy, who isn't called James Orr. And when he comes onstage he says "Hi, I'm Chris Mack, and I'm here representing the James Orr Complex." And then a bunch of guys start talking all over his songs and completely ruin the entire fucking set and he looks like he's about to burst into tears and I want to take him home and cuddle him and feed him Horlicks and read him a bedtime story.

Maelsson -

A great old band from Engurland called The Housemartins. Although no longer together, they recorded some great popstuff, albeit a bit odd. Some of the band members have continued on as The Beautiful South, and are still recording some pretty nonsensical stuff.

Gene -

I have to nominate my old band: The Mighty Ike Turners.

Other great names:
* Urge Overkill
* Teenage Fanclub
* Apples in Stereo

Steven Garrity -

We thought we had invented this, but apparently there is already a band that exists with this name: The Bob Loblaws (say it out load a few times).

Another great name: The Swirling Eddies - they were a band with members of a bunch of well named bands: Adam Again, Daniel Amos, The 77s, and The Choir.

Daniel Burka -

Listening to CBC Radio 3, I just discovered a band called the Cripple Creek Fairies. Nice nod to Mr. Neil Young.

Jason -

Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies. Best. Name. Ever.

Michael Spina -

All Girl Summer Fun Band
Reverend Horton Heat

Justin -

Hey guys, I am in a band and we are called Going About Tomorrow. Heres a list for your guys out there:

1. Kid Called Danger
2. Day Against Tomorrow
3. The Burning Bush
4. Misconcepted Theory
5. Turning Down The Volume

Mary-Beth -

Three that get my vote:

- Half Man, Half Biscuit

- Human Sexual Response

- Mission of Burma

filchyboy -

I think <b>The Ellen James Society</b> deserves a nod. Fine band. Damn fine name. Of course it works much better if you know the context.

<m.> acorn -

I was happy to see "Old Field..." made it on the list somewhere. I would now like to send Geeeeof G. back in time with this classic almost forgotten band name that myself, he and our old friends John "Crazy Train" Hemeon and Donald Joseph Blanchard used to be in.

METABOLISM......

We were even debating keeping an (l) in there to give it that meta(l) feel. Also the name originated when my dad, Moe said the best name for a metal band is "Metabolic Inertia"

PS. I think my latest band night be called "The Sandra Bullocks" Stay tuned for our album soon to be recorded known to us so far as "the sandra bullocks are happy together"

I also think it sucks that if I was to make a cool log like this my name innitials in radio-speak already say my name, so Michael Alpha Alpha sounds silly. Not near as cool as Delta Tango Bravo, which just screams coolness.

From YVR to VY2,
<m.> acorn

John Morris -

"Guess Who"

Odd but a wonderful name.

R.Cook -

I want to give props to the person with the good taste to namecheck the "Reverb Motherfuckers." My best friend John was a founding member of that lamented East Village band. My votes for best band names (in no particular order):

Pere Ubu
Half Japanese
Blurt
The Stooges

I can't think of another name right now which is the equal of these four. Perhaps Television or The Cramps or Contortions or The Electric Eels, but they're debatable. There are other good names, but they're second tier.

Daniel Burka -

I just discovered a DJ performing with Jay Ferguson in Sloan named "General Eclectic"

peppyandcheap -

All great suggestions so far...here are a few more to add to the list in no particular order...

* Overbored
* Barbara's Bush
* Pabst Smear
* Seven Year Bitch
* Not Drowning, Waving

Eric -

cannot be left off of this list:
The Tragically Hip

Hilary -

You also can't leave out the marvellously named:

Dogs Die in Hot Cars

leafmuncher -

I like these:

* Death Cab for Cutie
* Moonbabies

Bruno Bord -

- Peace Love and Pitbulls,
- Iron Maiden (well, you know, that's a torture instrument),
- Anihilator,
- Skyclad,
- Sugarcubes

Matthew -

The best names are instantly memorable and have an affectionate diminutive version that fans use eg. 'the Floyd' for Pink Floyd, 'the Stones' for the Rolling Stones, and 'Led Zep' for Led Zeppelin.

Of course, the best name ever has to be "Frankie Goes to Hollywood" (or 'Frankie' for short).

Seth Thomas Rasmussen -

I didn't read all of the replies, but it is worth noting that U2 in fact never did become a great band.

*ahem*

Al -

METALLICA
Tool
Viking Skull
Dogs Die In Hot Cars
Christian Death

lloyd -

the beasts of bourbon

tom -

"Not Drowning, Waving" is ingenious.

Let's see...

* Super Furry Animals
* Cake
* Snot

and my all time fav -

Jamiroquai

Tomás -

<ul>
<li>The Yeah Yeah Yeahs</li>
<li>Dogs Die In Hot Cars</li>
<li>And You Will Know Us By the Trail Of Dead</li>

</ul>

MusicManiac -

Gotta like these band names:

The Flaming Lips
Meat Puppets
Uncle Tupelo
Supertramp
nomeansno
Tex Tiles and the True Moral Fibres

Tim -

In college there was a store off campus called "Larry's"
Larry died and we started calling the store Dead Larry's

and an asian man took over the store and we called him Dead Larry.

and then a band started up called "The Dead Larrys" and that is my nomination for best band name.

sidewalkwarrior -

The Mr. T Experience
Japancakes
Turbonegro
The Wynonna Riders
Swearing at Motorists
Man or Astroman?
The Vibrators
Chemical Brothers
Sugar Hill Gang
Operation Ivy

plus others you guys mentioned, but these get my votes.

Rob -

Best Band Names by far

Led Zeppelin

Five Man Electrical Band

Creedance Clearwater Revival

Jefferson Airplane

FogHat

Adam M. -

Honest Bob & the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives has to be the all-time best band name I've ever run across. I've never heard their stuff, I just stumbled across them on the Web one night a couple of years ago. The name has always stuck in my head.

Luke -

Just came by this list after listening to Acts of Volition Radio Volume One.

And my all time favourite band name is still: The Bhagavad Guitars.

(A side project of Steve Kilbey of The Church.)

Brian Smith -

Hi there,
I'm glad you liked the Baghies, but they are actually a band which John Kilbey was in, not Steve. Steve produced one of their records, I think, but John Kilbey was the singer/writer etc. John now runs Karmic Hit (www.karmichit.com), the Kilbey Bros record label.

tall one... (go to your room) -

As for me- i think these were/are pretty cool names

Tesla
Fear of God
Rainbow Butt Monkeys
Paraniod Delusions
The Slits
Nausea
MC 900 Foot Jesus
Screaching Weasel
L7

Kudos for remembering Toad the Wet Sprocket.... J

spence -

SOUNDGARDEN!!!!

val -

Speaking of the Afghan Whigs, I think there was an off-shoot or the Whigs were an off-shoot of the ASS PONIES.

Turquoiseraven -

I think i just found the best band names, i was looking at a J-pop site (thats japanese pop music for the uninitiated) and i came across these:
Bump of chicken
Pocket biscuits

Good

+ Red Plastic Bag ('Party Monarch' the summer I spent in Barbados)
+ Fussy Part (Because it takes you just a second)
+ Citizen Cope (They even sound like they're just getting by)
+ Velvet Revolver (Scott W. wouldn't have it any other way)
+ Ludacris (B/c he's wild and b/c Usher owes him one)
+ Ace of Base (I wish I'd thought of it)
+ The 2 Live Crew (Listen to these guys again...sooo good)

- L'il -anything-
- Default, Nickelback, Staind, Theory of a Deadman, Creed...or as I like to call them, "Default Theory of a Staind Nickelcreed"

David -

I am surprised no one mentioned my alltime favourite, although not a REAL band COLD SLITHER was the best band name ever. ON the old G I JOE cartoon, COLD SLITHER was formed with the Dreadknocks
(not a bad name either) acting as heavt metallers in orer to corrupt the youth of America for COBRA.

Yo JoE!

Kevin -

You people don't realize that punk bands have always had the best names. Why, they've given us names like:

Anal Blast
Anal Cunt
Cock and Ball Torture
Dead Kennedys
Buzzcocks
Carcass
Cripple Bastards
Napalm Death
Bile
Dead Infection
General Surgery
Fuck...I'm Dead
Impaled
Last Days of Humanity
Lymphatic Phlegm
Regurgitate
Vomitorial Corpulence

The list goes on and on. I must also mention my own band name, Dead Slave Revolt.

A friend of mine came up with to great (potential) band names:

#1 Pariah Carrie
#2 Boy Scouts with Crowbars

If you use them for you local band (or just "band" if you become famous) please make a website so I can hear your music!

Johns -

I think a cool name I just came by is ACRISIS. (real band) Is it even a word...

Owen Byrne -

It amazes me that nobody has mentioned perhaps the first band that exhibited irony and self-reflection in their name - namely The Who. I think they even had a ? at the end when they started out. Also recently ran across an article mentioning "God Speed You! Black Emperor", and another one that comes to mind is "Gob" - the punk ethos captured perfectly.

The big M -

Well....as discussed Fabulosos Cadillacs has earned a place high up there...

... and according to me Soda Stereo

David Jones -

I think Odeo is a good brand!

The 1st Dude they ever called "Dude" -

Some classics from the late 60's:

Captain Beyond
Blodwyn Pig
Mott the Hoople
Moby Grape
The Grateful Dead

...quickly come to mind, Funny, but now that 30+ years have gone by, some things come quickly to mind. In '69, the quickest thing that came to mind was something along the order of "Wow....".

Cameron -

hmm....well I'm not sure that anything except opinions and bais dictate whether or not a band name is good or bad, but I think these names are pretty cool.

Hot Hot Heat
Foo Fighters
The Flaming Lips
Pink Floyd
Corduroy
Placebo
Bloc Party
Weezer
AC/DC
El Torpedo
Yeah Yeah Yeahs

...all of these are pretty popular bands I know, but they're pretty cool

David -

I just got to the bottom of the list and no one has mentioned Gov't Mule - playing music for your ass!
to make five add in:
Pink Floyd
Foo Fighters
Shihad
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention

Yo,
I be looking for a new band name for my band. You see we were originally called 'The Jet City P*rn Stars', but we fancied a change...something more British, with a 'The' at the begining. We are an 'alternative/mod/punk/rock' band i guess...
You guys seem to be so good, you couldnt come up with one for us could ya? That would be sweet :P
