    Names of bands, just like brands, aren't about being great. They are about not sucking like,,, The The

    Don't try to hard and keep it simple. Your music will do the rest

    That said. One of my favorite drummers/producers in town named a "band" The Free Radicals". I do like well done puns. And it wasn't a band but an revolving group a people who like to jam to jazz

    LED Zeppelin is a pretty sweet name

    As for dumb names, I always thought Boyz II Men was a ridiculous name for a band.

    John Dillinger's Escape Plan is a pretty cool name, even though their music sounds like it was transplanted directly from the brain of someone having a terrible LSD episode.

    sorry...pretty stupid name. just like ima_drummer2k said.

    do you really think he overlooked that name.

    Why is Led Zeppelin a great name? It's not...it's the music.

    just like ima_drummer2k said.

    worst/best band names

    john cougar concentration camp - they had to change their name after the coug threatened to sue them
    REO speed dealer - had to change their name to speed dealer after legal threats
    king gizzard and the lizard wizard - a band with a name that dumb should not be as good as they are

    there used to be a band in austin called comanche abortion, which is pretty horrible.

    early 90's band - 'when people were shorter and lived closer to the water'
