Best Band Names?

[The_Return]

Face it, there's alot of bands out there with pretty kickass names. Even some crappy bands have damn cool names...what are your favourites?


I honestly dont think Id recognize any of their songs, but oneof my friends was talking about The Arcade Fire a couple days ago. Struck me as a damn good name for a band, I might need to check out some of their music.

The Who and The Guess Who both have good names, though they provoke countless crappy jokes.

Helix is another great one. I only know a couple of their songs, but seems like a good band.

I dont much care for their "music", but Cannibal Corpse has a good name. Same with Drowning Pool.

Can't forget about Blue Oyster Cult...great band, great name.


Well thats enough from me. What about you folks?

Avenged Sevenfold is pretty cool.

Yes, seriously. Surprisingly enough though, they aren't grindcore or gabber. Sad indie pop music.

It's utterly moronic that I didn't post that in this thread because I have their poster on my closet door. I've never really listened to 'em, just think the name is hilarious.
