YES Kyuss! SOOOOOO BADASS!!

For me there can be no lower than Dragon Force. That said I was once in a band called "Gandalf in the bikini drive-in." We sounded somewhat like the Beach Boys on crack while getting their nipples stroked by Jefferson Airplane.

I quite like Blood Red Shoes (because of the whole story behind it, makes it cool really), Art Brut (because it suits the band so well and it's just a cute name) and MeandthetwinS (who probably none of you know but it might be my favorite band name ever).

Whereas stuff as The Pipettes, The Wombats, The Pigeon Detectives suck. You know, THE and then something completely out of connection to what band that is, I just don't see the point.
Though I have to admit to like "The Rakes". That one makes sense at least. And The Smiths because besides me being an idiot with th it sounds super fancy and arty and it makes me happy when their name pops up in my last.fm statics.

The Guy Sitting Next to Me Wearing an Orange Cap - translated from czech, maybe the best stupid name i've ever heard of. (Vedle sedící chlápek s oranžovou čepicí)

Guinea Pigs on the Run (translated from Czech) - Morčata na úteku

Giant Peach - Obří Broskev

Totally Straight Banana - Úplně rovný banán

Snow on the Stairs - Sníh na schodišti

Daddy Boys - Tata Bojs

and The Prostitutes

... Maybe I'll find some more fine names of cz bands.

I like Please the Trees anyways.

Yeah! Kyuss really are badass. However, everything Josh Homme is badass.

Karen O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs' side project is called Native Korean Rock and the Fishnets.

Violetence · **Posted:** Thu Jul 31, 2008 9:00 am

Well she's half Korean and she likes wearing fishnets so that doesn't at all surprise me.

Kurt Cobain on the other hand actually contemplated calling Nirvana Poo Poo Box!

I like the name Dananananaykroyd. I can never remember how many "ananas" are in it.

Battles is cool as it's just simply Battles.

I thought !! was an excellent name. Only nerds know how to pronounce it.

"Chook Chook Chook"

Or so I believe =]

I quite like Bring Me The Horizon as a name. Even though Skyes is a pram.

I've always liked We Are Scientists, because they aren't.
