Typhoon24: coolest band name ever

calmrose 12.11.16	Fear Before the March of Flames was a badass name Though Fear Before is still pretty cool
Ebola 12.11.16	Spitfire
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 12.11.16	I really like Alice in Chains even though the band never used the imagery in the way I'd have liked them to.
polyrhythm 12.11.16	Iron Maiden (shame about the music) Massive Attack Killing Joke
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 12.11.16	One, Poly. One.
Typhoon24 12.11.16	polyrhythm all three of those sound dope but im only putting one per person so ima go with the one i think sounds the coolest unless you object
polyrhythm 12.11.16	I know, I was brainstorming out loud kiddos. I'll go with Killing Joke
MarsKid 12.11.16	Outrun the Sunlight Underrated as fuck
CaimanJesus 12.11.16	Mouth of the architect
CzechyGuy 12.11.16	The pAper chAse
ArsMoriendi 12.11.16	James Chance & The Contortions
zakalwe 12.11.16	The Who
americanohno 12.11.16	The pains of being pure at heart
Sinternet 12.11.16	genghis tron by far
zakalwe 12.11.16	Fucking awful
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 12.11.16	That is a good one.
zakalwe 12.11.16	The pains of being pure at heart is a shocker.
ArsMoriendi 12.11.16	"The pains of being pure at heart" Sounds like a band that thinks they're very self-important
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 12.11.16	Why is Ars recc'ing girls in bikinis?
oltnabrick 12.11.16	korn
Chortles 12.11.16	guided by voices
ArsMoriendi 12.11.16	"Why is Ars recc'ing girls in bikinis?" I'm reccing the album, not the album cover? Also because it's a hard 5/5
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 12.11.16	Ars has been living a lie.
ArsMoriendi 12.11.16	What are you on about?
InFlamesWeThrash666 12.11.16	anal cunt
americanohno 12.11.16	One must first take the risk of taking themselves seriously in order to say anything important. If you listen to the pains of being pure at heart you will realize my friend this truly is a band saying some very important shit.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	almost every single one on this list so far is fucking terrible
MarsKid 12.11.16	I think you'd say that regardless of what was on the list.
ArsMoriendi 12.11.16	I want Potsy to point the few cool ones honestly
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	Genghis Tron is good the rest are bad and marskid is a pussy
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	see we all think things
MarsKid 12.11.16	I expected nothing less.
Typhoon24 12.11.16	bad brains is the shit foo
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.16	Timeghoul Has that radical old school feel about it.
ArsMoriendi 12.11.16	Damn I thought you'd at least appreciate The Who's name regardless of how you feel about their music Knew you'd hate my choice though
polyrhythm 12.11.16	I like my one obv and Guided by Voices, the rest I don't care for
INRIhab 12.11.16	Exotic Animal Petting Zoo
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	"bad brains is the shit foo" the band sure, the band name not so much
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	"Damn I thought you'd at least appreciate The Who's name regardless of how you feel about their music" wtf the who is like the worst band name here
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.16	What's your favorite Potsy?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	dunno
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	its hard to separate personal bias towards an artists music from the quality of their band name tbh.
tacos n stuff 12.11.16	i dig A Winged Victory for the Sullen
tacos n stuff 12.11.16	and while i dont think fbtmof are that great at all, fbtmof is pretty cool name imo
Ocean of Noise 12.11.16	Black Sabbath My Bloody Valentine Shadow Gallery In Flames off the top of my head
MarsKid 12.11.16	"What's your favorite Potsy?" Definitely Korn
Ocean of Noise 12.11.16	Avenged Sevenfold too - their music really doesn't live up to how awesome their name is (though I like their music fine too)
ArsMoriendi 12.11.16	"My Bloody Valentine" I don't know man, a shoegaze band who chose a name that sounds like an edgy post hardcore band probably poorly named themselves
Ocean of Noise 12.11.16	They had that name before edgy post hardcore bands even existed dude
americanohno 12.11.16	They took they're name from a fueling movie! Theives!
polyrhythm 12.11.16	I think people are confusing i) whether the band's name is cool in itself, ii) how well the band's name describes their music, and iii) how much they like the band tbh
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.16	Honorable mentions to: Insect Warfare Wild Beasts Light Bearer Iskra Toxic Holocaust Gaza Rottrevore Rippikoulu and Ygg
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 12.11.16	"What's your favorite Potsy?" The Knife. But Grimes if we count solo artists.
Rolling Girl 12.11.16	This is a tough one. I guess Candy Claws.
Emim 12.11.16	Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza
ashcrash9 12.11.16	might just be cause I'm digging them a lot lately, but Cymbals Eat Guitars has always struck me as one of the best band names I've ever heard
Sevengill 12.11.16	Hyperion the one from Sweden
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	"I think people are confusing i) whether the band's name is cool in itself, ii) how well the band's name describes their music, and iii) how much they like the band tbh" this. i only like the band name 'the knife' because it suits them and describes their music well. i never thought much of it before i fell in love with them. also tony danza tapdance extravaganza is one of the worst band names of all time as is my bloody valentine and avenged sevenfold
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	"Honorable mentions to: Insect Warfare Wild Beasts Light Bearer Iskra Toxic Holocaust Gaza Rottrevore Rippikoulu and Ygg" Iskra and Gaza are both really good names
ArsMoriendi 12.11.16	I feel like the best band names are ones that are memorable without making you cringe. There really doesn't need to be more criteria in my opinion.
Kurisu 12.11.16	Best metal band name is Arghoslent and that's not even an edgy opinion
Emim 12.11.16	Fight me, potsy
FullOfSounds 12.11.16	I like Boards of Canda
FullOfSounds 12.11.16	It comes from a documentary which is something they'd totally sample
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.16	Add Timeghoul bro
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	"Best metal band name is Arghoslent and that's not even an edgy opinion" no. "thoughts on Baghdad as a band name" missing the point entirely the name Gaza isnt good because you can just interchangeably use any middle eastern city as a name and its suddenly cool, its good because it looks nice and sounds nice. i actually kind of agree on exotic animal petting zoo lol
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.16	Yeah I like the name Gaza cuz it just feels spicy on my tongue. Iskra is the same way. I also REALLY love the album name Meaningless Leaning Mess by Bone Awl cuz it's just so fucking clever.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	"Yeah I like the name Gaza cuz it just feels spicy on my tongue. Iskra is the same way." totally. also Bone Awl is a good name
Pajolero 12.11.16	The Sisters of Mercy
americanohno 12.11.16	I'm not a big fan as Arghoslent as a band name but their other band Grand Belial's Key is most definitely a bad assume band name
FullOfSounds 12.11.16	Zao is also pretty cool
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.16	'bad assume band name' Fuck yeah m/
romulanrancor 12.11.16	Burzum Burzum means "Darkness" in the language of Mordor. Checkmate
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.16	When it comes to naming things I think Defeated Sanity pretty much kills it all around. Psalms of the Moribund I mean holy SHIT.
Sevengill 12.11.16	Wolves In the Throne Room is a pleasantly terrifying name but it's a little unwieldly. Hyperion just has so much oomph and it's got a fantastic etymology.
americanohno 12.11.16	Zao socks Cuzco it's pronounced zay-oh and not zow
Sinternet 12.11.16	above & beyond is a pretty cool name too
americanohno 12.11.16	Auto correct is really fun king me up right now
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	trying to disconnect the bands from their name I guess some that I like from just going through the top of my ratings are Acid Mothers Temple Amon Duul II Arktau Eos Bathory Baths Cannibal Ox Sex Church Death Ambient Drudkh Elysian Fields Fever Ray Flying Lotus Fuck Buttons Gazelle Twin Gold Panda Harvey Milk Have a Nice Life Hex Vessel Hiatus Kaiyote Jawbox Kayo Dot Kottarashky Mount Eerie Muslimgauze Phedre Portishead Shakti Skullflower Son Lux Wildbirds and Peacedrums
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	"Shabazz Palaces or The Antlers both work very well in the context of the groups' sound" "I think people are confusing i) whether the band's name is cool in itself, ii) how well the band's name describes their music, and iii) how much they like the band tbh"
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.16	"Auto correct is really fun king me up right now" You did that on purpose I don't buy it
Sinternet 12.11.16	gazelle twin rules both as a name and as an artist
americanohno 12.11.16	Harvey Milk is a gay band name tho
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	"above & beyond is a pretty cool name too" are u for real
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	"Harvey Milk is a gay band name tho" good one
Sinternet 12.11.16	for a band name to be good it has to be memorable, like if you see it you remember it because it has personalitly to it and a wow factor without sounding overly pretentious
ArsMoriendi 12.11.16	Wilco is a cute little name
Sinternet 12.11.16	yeah i dig above & beyond as a name, rolls of the tongue nicely
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.16	"for a band name to be good it has to be memorable, like if you see it you remember it because it has personalitly to it and a wow factor without sounding overly pretentious" In a way you could say that the name has to be above & beyond
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	lol
adr 12.11.16	Dead Kennedys, The Velvet Underground, Bathory, Genesis, Faust, Dead Can Dance , Saccharine Trust, Throbbing Gristle, Coil all really fitting with the bands music and all sound cool tbqh
ArsMoriendi 12.11.16	I can't argue against a single one of those... adr wins.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	"not so much 'confusing' as much as those elements are hard to separate whether or not a band's music suits their name has to be some kind of factor, right? " "i only like the band name 'the knife' because it suits them and describes their music well. i never thought much of it before i fell in love with them. " "its hard to separate personal bias towards an artists music from the quality of their band name tbh." so yes its hard but thats the point
Sinternet 12.11.16	bikini kill beastmilk brontide electric masada hooverphonic johnny foreigner atlas sound pygmy lush sleepytime gorilla museum venetian snares are all pretty cool imo
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	"like "my bloody valentine" always struck me as some sort of scenester emo name that never fit shoegaze" its just a terrible band name in general tbh
BenThatsMyJamin 12.11.16	Death is so iconic. Tells you everything you need to know
anat 12.11.16	we were promised jetpacks
polyrhythm 12.11.16	I love how vaudeville and silly the name Sleepytime Gorilla Museum is, but it also describes their music pretty darn well
ArsMoriendi 12.11.16	"beastmilk" How is this a good band name exactly? I feel like any band name where you need to mention something related to genitals, butts, or breasts is automatically bad just because it's awkward to say out loud. Like I was talking about Butthole Surfers yesterday and someone gave me to weird look for even saying "butthole."
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	im not gonna lie i absolutely hate most of those sin. i guess our tastes in band names do not align lol
MistaCrave 12.11.16	Oneohtrix Point Never
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.16	Beastmilk isn't a great name per se but it sticks in the mind. Really awesome idea for them to change their name and then drop a shit albun.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	"Oneohtrix Point Never" yes
anat 12.11.16	doomsquad future islands punching swans
ArsMoriendi 12.11.16	Wait... it said beastmilk FUCK I read that as breastmilk Now it's even worse
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.16	Yeah most people did haha probably why they changed it actually
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	"some factors for me would probably be: 1. how the name sounds from a pure sonic standpoint, 2. how compelling the idea or object is that's captured in the name, and 3. how the choice in language strengths 1 & 2 individually as well as in relation to one another" these are good, pretty much what i go off i guess.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	"probably why they changed it actually" probs changed it because they realized its terrible af
Chortles 12.11.16	saccharine trust is such a good name and an amazing band
Deez 12.11.16	https://www.discogs.com/artist/253670-Rancid-Shit-Wank
ArsMoriendi 12.11.16	I love the Cocteau Twins, but their name always puzzled the fuck out of me. I get that they liked the work of Jean Cocteau, but why twins? Their name is pretty as fuck though
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.16	I forgot about your vein-riddled, pulsating, hateful, corpulent erection for the name Beastmilk.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	yes i do indeed have quite the throbbing hate-boner for the name beastmilk (because it is objectively retarded)
Dylan620 12.11.16	The The
FullOfSounds 12.11.16	Always dug Fall of Efrafa
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.16	Fall of Efrafa strikes me as one of those names that isn't THAT good but it seems better than it is because Fall of Efrafa has absolutely zero bad material.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.11.16	"The The" up there on the worst names of all time list
Knave 12.11.16	Black Sabbath is always the champion of this game.
ArsMoriendi 12.11.16	Just looked up the origins of the name Cocteau Twins and supposedly they called them that because two of their gay friends were obsessed with Jean Cocteau, so their friends were the Cocteau Twins. Hmm odd
FullOfSounds 12.11.16	"Black Sabbath is always the champion of this game." It's hard to look past how iconic it is
Chortles 12.11.16	"The the" right up there with The Band
adr 12.11.16	Acid Bath and Godflesh are pretty dope too
FullOfSounds 12.11.16	I like Godflesh a lot yeah
Sinternet 12.11.16	but can it compete with The Music?
voltairesangryglove 12.11.16	gorilla biscuits
50iL 12.11.16	I'd have to go with Immolation. Their name Describes their atmosphere perfectly, is emblematic and catchy.
50iL 12.11.16	Emperor is up there, too
FullOfSounds 12.11.16	Emperor's kinda average
voltairesangryglove 12.11.16	The Sounds of Animals Fucking
voltairesangryglove 12.11.16	Blandchester Borechestra
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.16	emblematic, nice
50iL 12.11.16	Nah I rlly like Emperor
voltairesangryglove 12.11.16	yeah what an original name that nobody else would ever think of
50iL 12.11.16	It's not original but just fits them SO well
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.16	Yeah, they're the divine rulers of shitty keyboard music
Joeman82 12.12.16	Bad Religion Best name you could create for a punk band
Calc 12.12.16	Dark Time Sunshine I always thought was cool The Joint Chiefs of Math Kayo Dot King Tears Bat Trip Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation
FullOfSounds 12.12.16	Might as well throw maudlin in there with all these Kayo Dot mentions
Calc 12.12.16	"Black Sabbath is always the champion of this game." saw a homeless dude in downtown seattle and his sign said "black sabbath matters" I almost threw him my candy bar from my car
SAPoodle 12.12.16	The Angelic Process

TVC15 12.12.16	Manic Street Preachers
guitarded_chuck 12.12.16	HORSE the Band obvi
BlazinBlitzer 12.12.16	My favorites are probably Songs:Ohia, Trespassers William, Stars of the Lid, and Have a Nice Life.
dbizzles 12.12.16	Does if Offend You, Yeah?
dbizzles 12.12.16	Viet Cong was one of the best band names, RIP. Also Andrew Jackson Jihad and Black Pussy.
