Awesome band names.

[Shaun]

Just post your favourite names for bands - you don't have to particularly like them.

I was inspired because I thought of 'Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark'. That is bloody amazing.

[Iceman]

The Dirty Dozen :tongue:

eh I dont know I know a few local bands that have good names like The Gypsies Of The Autobahn

[Stu]

OMD are pretty epic alright. And I always liked the made up band Howard Marks used for smuggling hash into the USA inside amps [because they used to gain an exception from customs or something like that with some liscence] - 'Laughing Grass'.

Others :

Infected Mushroom
Chemical Brothers
Human League
Fine Young Cannibals
Fiction Factory
Aztec Camera
XTC
The Art Of Noise

Pet shop boys

such unlikely names but I think people can get use to any names after a while.

[Kerry]

My Chemical Romance
The Pogues - as it's loosely based on the Gaelic for Kiss my arse
UB40

[Iceman]

The Last Shadow Puppets is quite an interesting name

[Stu]

Ub40?

[Kerry]

Ub40?

Yeah, named after the title of an unemployment form called Unemployment Benefit, Form 40

Just find it amusing
