01.04.13 | 3 and 5 aren't good names at all. I mean they're about as good for band names as Red or Limp Bizkit (respectively lololol).
As for some good ones:

01.05.13 | I think Tool and Pearl Jam are both great names considering what the bands seem to have as a core philosophy. That's more why they are on the list. I can see what you mean about Tool, but the reason that its witty is that its gets the point across about how the band view themselves and their chosen medium. |

06.01.13 | ''tool is one of the worst band names ever lol''
if they called themselves ''pretentious'' the effect would be the same honestly lol. |
SitarHero
06.01.13 | I dunno how you're evaluating the artistic merit Jed, but Dream Theater is just a cool sounding name. Tool on the other hand is ok, but googling it would be a pain I imagine. |
InbredJed
06.01.13 | @SitarHero: I define artistic merit as the ability within a piece of art to evoke thought, emotion and to provide a worthwhile experience. Technicality is a part of that, but only one slice in much larger pie. DT has the tech part covered, but I have personally never been moved by a note of DT's music, and I've listened to a lot of it.
@ Crowin51: ISIC is pretty rad. If you've ever seen Tool live, you know they are one of the least pretentious bands of all time. The name Tool even self-deprecatingly implies that the band themselves and musicians in general are "tools".
How many band names include self-parody?
Some of the ones on this here list sure do, yes indeed |
SitarHero

it's so clever!! :o |
InbredJed
06.01.13 | ^ lol
I think ya'll are missing the point here. The reason I included the band names I did was because they have LAYERS OF MEANING as well as sounding cool. Most of the names mentioned afterwords are just cool sounding or just plain shocking.
@JS19: I was discussing my personal opinion on DT, not my reasons for leaving them off this list. The reason they don't belong on my list isn't because I think "Dream Theatre" is a shitty name, its quite a good name. The name creates an interesting mental picture, (a venue for observing fantastical or sub-conscious imagery) which certainly is an apt description of the band. I did not include Dream Theatre on this list because, although the name implies part of the purpose of the band, I don't believe they really follow through to fully embody the possibilities of the name.
@ComfortablyDumb: Wolves In The Throne Room is pretty cool, but it's got nothing on your name, mate. |

06.01.13 | @SitarHero: Yes, even LTL. The music is very good, as all Dream Theatre music is, but the vocals are chillingly horrific and the lyrics are so literal that they take away from any beauty or atmosphere created by the instruments. |

06.03.13 | haha yeh it does, really don't know what that name is supposed to suggest |
SitarHero
06.03.13 | It's not suggesting anything. It's a silly name that sounds funny when you say it out loud. It's also a name that you'll remember, which makes it a good bandname. |
