Awesome band names.
 

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.

The Dirty Dozen :tongue:

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

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

the the
Pet shop boys

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

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

The Last Shadow Puppets is quite an interesting name

Ub40?

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

Just find it amusing

Oh, Velvet Underground is a great name.

A flock of seagulls
Frankie goes to hollywood

can't beat those 80s names..

You should start a thread for the most stupid/dull band names Shaun. I'm going for Bros and Same Difference :joker:

The Arctic Monkeys (biased)

The Ting Tings, just epicness right there.

Vampire Weekend

Cansei de Ser Sexy

The kaiser chiefs

The Smashing Pumpkins

Marilyn Manson [yes, it ALSO COUNTS AS A BAND NAME SMITHY :angryetc:].

well they are a band :p

Scritti Politti

Aye but it became the man and his backing band in most peoples eyes around 1996. Most non fans now just see 'Marilyn Manson' as the person.

CSS - Cansei de ser Sexy ( tired of being sexy)

Kitchens of Distinction
Smashing Pumpkins ;)
Polar Bear Club
