DrFishfinder Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Before they became Pink Floyd, they were known as Sigma 6, The Meggadeaths, The Screaming Abdabs, Leonard's Lodgers, The Spectrum Five and The Tea Set. I'm sorta partial to The Screaming Abdabs, myself. Has a nice non-sensical ring to it.
Astrojanitor Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Best band name I ever heard: John Cougar Concentration Camp. No real point to make...just saying that was a great band name,
Richmond_Bills Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 I always wanted to start a Metal Band and call it Tainted Meat. I don't know why, it just always sounded bitchin'.
Pebblez Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 For me, name doesn't matter, it's how they sound. I would listen to a band called "Pink Bunny Slippers" if I like their songs. Same here. One band that comes to mind is Squirrel Nut Zippers. Stupid name but I like their music.
The Poojer Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 isnt that the name of a candy? Same here. One band that comes to mind is Squirrel Nut Zippers. Stupid name but I like their music. isnt that the name of a candy?
Buftex Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) Dave Matthews Band...sure, you can be cool and just call them DMB, but what sucks, just sucks, whatever you call it.... Echo & the Bunnymen did not suck...great band...maybe an unfortunate name...but great band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeuUPFMqwMI&feature=related Best band name I ever heard: John Cougar Concentration Camp. No real point to make...just saying that was a great band name, That is pretty good...right there with Ringo Deathstarr, and Brian Jonestown Massacre! Edited December 22, 2010 by Buftex
Mr_Blizzard Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Two that come to mind "Echo and the Bunnymen" and "Toad the Wet Sprocket" First one is a) too long and b) references a furry, passive little animal. Both of these I think are a turn off to a rock audience. Second one is a) too long and b) nonsensical because it uses an amphibious noun where one expects a verb. Again, audience turn offs. Since both of these bands enjoyed less commercial success than they probably should have, could the names have something to do with it? Better to stick with something simpler and not weak-sounding like "The Who", "Styx" or "U2"? Strawberry Alarm Clock is out there . . . . . . When life hands you a jeffrey, stroke the furry wall . . .

Chef Jim Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Umphrey's McGee: Originally, the band was billed as "Hubert Humphrey's Traveling Band featuring Flappy McGee"; however, when the band was introduced at one of their very first concerts, the emcee for the evening (who coincidentally was none other than Rodney Dangerfield, a frequent patron of the bar that the band was playing that evening) slurred his words a bit (although to be fair, Dangerfield claimed it was a faulty microphone that kept cutting in and out) and all the audience could heard was "Umphrey's McGee". For better or for worse, the name stuck.
