"You are now either a clueless inbred brownshirt Teabagger, or a babykilling hippie Marxist on welfare."-Songsmith
Dingleberry Shortcake
40lb Head
Dishwalla (do you swallow?)
Kentucky Headhunters (they're looking to GET HEAD, not cut heads off)
Wiskerbisket
Christ On A Stick (somebody's really going to hell for that one, but if you want a subversive band name...)
The Weedhawks (guess what they circle around looking for?)
Dislike:
Emo band names
Negative names that sound like even the name of the band is a complaint... Tortured Existence, Perpetual Hangnail, Surrounded By Apathy
Medical names... Coprophagia, Impetigo, and Scabies are all sort of cool-sounding if you say them out loud, but don't make good band names.
Any "misspelled" names (I used to be a huge offender... then I grew up)... just because you spell it "Aynuss" and make the logo font all pointy doesn't change the fact that it's a butthole.
Any name starting with the word, "My." My Morning Jacket. My Dying Wish. My God, try again.
Free Beer. That joke was old in the early 70's, and it's been done at least once in every town ever since.
Names that have nothing to do with anything... Mama Corn, Sidestep, Thin Ice, strummershow, etc.

(Steve Vai and) The Breed
Rush (there are few one-word names that are as cool as that!)
Tesla (the man was a genius and he's kinda responsible for electrified music in the first place with his pioneering and advancements in AC electricity!)
There's a ton of awesome prog, Scandanavian rock, and underground rock names out there that when you hear it, it's a given that it belongs to a cool rock band!:
Nightwish
Iced Earth
Fate's Warning
Symphony X
King's X
Planet X
(anything with X)
Spock's Beard
Northern Kings
Epica
Kamelot
One of my favorite names is Porcupine Tree. I wish I had thought of that!

Our drummer was just telling me a story at one of the gigs this past weekend about how he went and met the members of Dream Theater. When he talked to James LaBrie, he was like, "Hey, didn't you use to sing for Coney Hatch?" LaBrie was floored that he knew this. Very cool story, he could tell it better than me.moxham123 wrote: Coney Hatch
"He's the electric horseman, you better back off!" - old sKool making a reference to the culturally relevant 1979 film.
Coney Hatch....Monkey bars...we used to play that one in Riot Act. Does anyone remember a band on early MTV that won a viewers poll contest with Martha Quinn called Digney Fignus? That was a neat name.
Hey Moxham123, rember Nosmo King on Paul Shannon's adventure time on channel 4 when we were kids? That's taking you back huh? That and chiller theatre with Chilly Billy Cardilly. I loved that show. Saturday nights at 11:30. Double feature sci-fi movies. The crawling eye, the original Frankenstein.....It was awesome.
