Simple enough, just say what you think the coolest band name ever is

In my opinion its the Stone Roses

Lets hear what you think

Nah, "Stone Roses" sucks. In fact, most of this thread is just gonna be people naming their favorite bands, even if the names are really stupid. I mean, I like certain bands, but you can't tell me with a straight face that ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead was really such a good idea for a name.

Cool names:
Iron Maiden (oops, I guess it happened anyway)
Dead Kennedys
Butthole Surfers
Bear Vs. Shark
Funkadelic
Mastodon
Stabbing Westward
Anthrax
Megadeth

...really you can't beat old-school metal bands for good names. Probably because they've taken all the good ones early and now today's lame metalcore bands have to take equally lame names like As I Lay Dying and ****.

idk probably Oasis or Blur or Richard Ashcroft:lol:

I've tried coming up with band names and it's so hard that I really don't care what bands call themselves these days. I have to say though I think Megadeath is a pretty stupid name. These are some band names that sound cool by me:

Guns N' Roses
Queens Of The Stoneage
Faith No More
The Black Keys
Built To Spill
At The Drive-In

I think Manic Street Preachers is a pretty cool name, for a pretty cool band. I also like The Birthday Party, and....Dead Kennedys.


Megadeth


Ugh, I hate the name Megadeth. Sounds like an eleven-year-old came up with that one.
