I finished finals yesterday. I'm already bored. Here's a topic: Band Names
Great Ones:
The Meat Puppets (perhaps the greatest of all, IMHO)
Funkadelic
The Flaming Lips (completely surreal)
The Velvet Underground (this is actally the title of a book about S&M)
Steely Dan (Another literary reference. Burroughs, Naked Lunch)
The Grateful Dead
X
Squeeze (Has numerous and conflicting conotations)
The Legendary Pink Dots
My Bloody Valentine
Duran Duran (I'll get flamed for this one, but I've always liked it)
Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars
Echo and the Bunnymen (Anyone know how they came up with this name?)
The Thirteenth Floor Elevators
The Flying Burrito Brothers
Joy Division
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
The Dukes of the Stratospheare
Radiohead
The Synchopated Voodoo Club (A "band" Random Pan and I were in. More like an excuse to be weird)
Awful Band Names:
The Moody Blues
The Alan Parson's Project
Hootie and the Blowfish
Phish
The Band (Great band, stupid name)
Others?
