Default 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.

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

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.
