If you were starting up a rock band (or any other kind) what would you call it? There are some terrific ones in existence.

Gaye Bikers On Acid, has to be an all-time great name.

Napalm Death, is cool too (or maybe hot).

Flock Of Seagulls (immortalised in Pulp Fiction!)

Lesbian Dopeheads On Mopeds (I didn't make that up but wish I had!)

Fine Young Cannibals

Cat Rapes Dog (hopefully a soul band)

They Might Be Giants

Gallon Drunk

Stabbity Stabbity Stab Stab Stab

Badly Drawn Boy

Funkadelic

Anybody got any good ideas?

Some of my favs are...............

White Trash Debutantes

Janitors Against Apartheid

Tragically Hip

1000 Homo DJ's

7 Year Bitch

Half Man Half Biscuit

MC 900-Foot Jesus

I always like the name 'The Dead Kennedys'

As for what I would call my band - if I could get away with it I would call it 'Levi Stubb's Tears' or 'Natty Ride'

when i went to uni in the first year we decided on the potential name suffering monkeys. then the artics came out and ruined that for us

I remember a couple of bands who went by the names "Throbbing Gristle" and "The Four Skins" - c**try and western, I think

Duran Duran , just to get the girls.

Revolver , great name .

Sultans of Ping F.C.

Nowaysis. [Think about it ]

Junior Trash. [if i was still young of course].

Dark Blue Electric Thunder [ If we were a heavy heavy metal band]

MC 900-Foot Jesus [Quality Scott ]

How about tribute band names ?

Duean Duran....Rio

Queen.....Flash

Bay City Rollers .....The Bray City rollers [ Irish reference there]

I like that!

Some years ago my wife was in an all woman band called Annie's Other Business. Three of them and me started playing together and got bookings so we called ourselves Bit On The Side. The other members of AOB didn't like that so they all fell out, but Bit On The Side carried on for some years and WE WERE GOOD!

In my teens, me and four mates were talking about starting a band and we decided one night that it would be called Dicky Delightful and the Magnificent Seven, which, in a dope haze we all thought was so so funny, being only five of us! Tee Hee!

( I expect you really had to be there)

At school the band I was 'in' was called 'Sexton Blake' after the comic book detective. The reason I nwrite 'in' was because I couldn't sing or play any instruments but I wrote the lyrics. So I was a backroom member!!

I joined my older brothers band called " The Primary"

I've been in bands named

Singled Out

Big Bad Wolf

Window Test

Gorgeous

My all time favourite name belonged to a pub rock band of the late 70's, early 80's who were called...

668 - The Neighbour of the Beast.

Always liked these bands names from Oz:

Avant Garbage

Machine Gun Fellatio

Emma Royd & The Bleeding Piles would be a classy name for a band - especially if they got a residency at the 'Bunch Of Grapes' pub. You know the one, next door to the boxing gym that's run by Bob Binn & Wee Vin.

One 80's band I was in I wanted the name.. 10 Hungarian Photographers.. I think I got it when I first travelled here and saw something simiular..can't remember what it was though. Anyway never got my way in the end...shame

We used to have a Spanish sound engineer...................his name was Juan Two
