Best band names ever? Choosing a name for your band is tricky. It has to be a name that people remember. The story goes that Brian Jones had a promotor on the phone who asked him the name of his band and he looked around, saw a Muddy Waters LP and said, uh... The Rollin' Stones! And now The Rolling Stones have become icons and it's a pretty good name for a rock & roll band. It has rock/stone in it and roll. Other great band names that show some of the genre they play are Funkadelic and Metallica. Perfect. Then we have funny names like: Herman's Hermits The Butthole Surfers The Red Hot Chili Peppers The Amazing Stroopwafels (Dutch band ) Or the one that says it all: The Band. So what do you think? What are/were some great names for bands? If you take any of this seriously, you're a bigger fool than I am. | |

sQuicksilver Messenger Service Swing Out Sister MFSB (Mother Father Sister Brother) Tears For Fears A Taste Of Honey Shalamar The 5th Dimension Mighty Clouds Of Joy You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I always thought The Revolution was a great name. Like, you can't believe it wasn't used before. The way the emcee in Purple Rain announced their name was so cool. "Ladies and gentlemen... ... The Revolution." (I hope my memory is correct.) | |

The Orb The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!
If you can add value to someone's life then why not. Especially if it colors their days... | |

Fanny Sandpaper & The Rough Cunts. Ok, so that's not a real band. But it would make a great name for a punk band or something. | |
