    Favorite band names

    Like This Thread!
    Are you guys sick of my threads yet?

    Anyway, what are your favorite band names?
    Here's my top 5-

    1. Stone Temple Pilots
    2. Metallica
    3. Foo Fighters
    4. Fountains of Wayne
    5. A Perfect Circle

    Hmmm...guess I should include some I don't like. Some rappers have some ridiculous names like Chingy and Cash Money Millionaires. Some of the overly simplified group names can be kind of annoying too (Cold, A).

    I like the weird ones...

    - Foo Fighters
    - Huevos Rancheros
    - Aerosmith (a crafter of flying vehicles? )
    - Blue Oyster Cult
    - Cacophony
    - Dream Theater
    - Pantera
    - Racer X
    - Ten Years After
    - Los Straightjackets
    - Man...or Astro-Man?
    - Joe Stump's Reign of Terror
    - etc...

    And one of my favorites, Buckethead (a weirdo and a band name), could have a category all to himself with bands he's been involved in, such as Praxis, Cobra Strike, Death Cube K, Deli Creeps, Giant Robot, Pieces, Zillatron, El Stew and Guns 'n Roses.

    Yep. I don't think he's the best ever, but he's pretty great! And lest we forget his "partner in crime," Jason Becker. Now there's a sad story...

    Can't really think of a top 5, so I'll just throw out some names...

    The Vandals
    Less Than Jake
    The Lawrence Arms
    Radiohead
    Alkaline Trio
    The Descendents
    Jawbreaker
    Mad Caddies
    Good Riddance
    Thrice
    Avenged Sevenfold(horrible band but hey, their name DOES sound cool)
    Dream Theater
    R.E.M.
    Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
    The Toadies

    Some bad ones...

    Any band that purposely spells their name wrong just for the hell of it(ex. Limp Bizkit, Korn, etc.)
    Any band that's just a random word and a number (ex. Matchbox 20, Sum 41)
    KISS
    Chicago
    Megadeth
    I could deal with trying to process
    Pigeons acting like they're doves
    But not with interference
    From the power lines above

    It recently dawned on me that my signature could be interpreted as being said by me. For the record, this was not the case. If the previous signature reduced your opinion of me, please increase your opinion. Thank you.

    Godsmack - If you're going to rip off Alice in Chains, you might as well be honest about it by naming yourself after one of their songs. (-:
