What do you think are the best names of bands? I like the name "The Temper Trap", but I don't really know why. What about you?

No idea why but I love the name of the group Semisonic.

They've had a few good songs but I just love the band name.

Are we talking favorite bands, or favorite band names?

It appears that some people have just gone ahead and posted their favorite bands.

My favorite bands might well include the Rolling Stones, for instance, but I don't think it is a particularly memorable name. For that matter, the Beatles is a downright terrible name! (IMO) (You might as well name a band the Cockroaches!)

For names, I like:

The Mendoza Line (baseball term for the threshold of incompetence)

and, of course,

The Four Skins

My new favourite name would have to be "The World is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die". Needless to say, they're an emo band.
Also love the name "Japandroids".
Both are excellent bands.

I like these two because they're SO awful - Throbbing Gristle and Butthole Surfers. Yes, these ARE real names!

Favorite Band Names, Not Necessarily Favorite Bands:

The Tragically Hip

Barenaked Ladies

Led Zeppelin

Def Leppard

Goo Goo Dolls

The Band (It's just sooooo meta)

Culture Club

Blue Rodeo

Wang Chung

The Kinks

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

INXS

Yes

Jethro Tull


And the big winner is... *drum roll* --

Toad The Wet Sprocket

I swear to God, they all tossed several pieces of paper into a hat with just one word written on each piece, and then they all pulled out a piece, and voila! A band name was born. A very weird band name.
