Inspired by The Onion's Great Band Names of 2008

I figure why not have a place for your fictional band name: Any genre, any name.

"Tastes Like Burning!"

Not only does Ralph Wiggum have the best lines, but they also make great band names.

The runner up is "Go Banana!"

For some reason I think "Yam Cannon" wins the contest.

However for my band, I always wanted it to be called "Royal Screw Job"

And that above referenced band is no Mr. T Experience.

Phoebe Cates Is On Top(Less)

Came really, really close to using that for my high school band but nobody would go with me on it.

I was shortly out of the band.

I wonder about bands who put profanity into their name. I mean why even do that? Is that some sort of "Fuck You" to society? I mean it's not like it'll get you many gigs.

I played drums for a band in school called "Ten Cats Fighting".

Yes...

That's exactly what we sounded like, too.

Don't forget that Gene Simmons originally wanted to name KISS 'FUCK'. Even back then, in the beginning of the band, he realized that this would severely limit the marketing potential of the band.

Fuck You and Goodnight, no shit, is a name that was considered by my bandmates. After I "left" they ended up calling themselves Taco Tuesday after a special at the local Mexican fast food place.

Five Women In A Four Man Band
The Furious Boyles
-and-
Penelope Bing and Her Fabulous Thing

Before they changed it to Stone Temple Pilots, STP stood for Shirley Temple's Pussy.

I got Terror-dactyl for some type of metal band. Which is also the title of my Sci Fi Channel Original Movie that I will never make.

Also, Cunt Jockey for a grindcore band name.

I'm shocked it hasn't been used already by Sci-Fi. Or even by the ol' New Concorde. Just as long as it isn't wasted by The Asylum.

I thought "That's What She Said" would be a good name for a girl band. Internet has revealed: Already in use.

That was me.

I thought if you were going to do pop culture references, calling your band McNulty (or the variant McNutty) or Haverchuck* would be fun. Those are the two I use in Guitar Hero, anyway.

*Once while under the influence, my friends and I tried to come up with long titles for songs a la Fall Out Boy. One of the ones we came up with was "I'd Never Thought I'd Say This, But Haverchuck's The King."

A friend of mine suggested "Kreuger's Sprog" (Northern Irish slang for child) at college. I think he meant it as a reference to some guy he knew, not Elm Street's premier menace.

Fucking a Corpse (because, come on, necrophilia is an under-used theme in hardcore metal bands - and no, the cuss won't hurt their prospects too much, at least judging by what's usually playing in my town. granted, none are going to be well-advertised or sell many records.)

As for a real band name, rather than a joke one that may eventually exist - Comets Don't Care.

I was sort of in a band in college. We just jammed & got high on Friday nights; never played a gig. Though we did write a song that had some potential. We maybe could have made something out of it if we'd had more time to work on it. But alas, I was a senior & graduated. We all lived on the same floor in the dorm. Second floor, North Hall. hence we were: Second Floor North.

Edited for spelling.

It seems that one needs to be very self-deluded to be involved in an artistic endeavor, whether the artist is "good" or not...I have no idea how any musicians in famous rock bands ever completed their studies if enrolled in said schooling...

I guess if they were all the same year, and no one left before the others (or if they all lived near the school, which I didn't), they could theoretically complete their schooling. Of course, we never took ourselves all that seriously to begin with. I don't think any of us harbored any dreams of actually making the band something we could make a living at. Besides, our singer SUCKED. We only kept playing with him because he was our friend, and this was supposed to be fun, after all. If we really wanted to make something of the band, he would have had to go.

Shit! That takes me back - I saw 'em play at the Fastlane in Asbury Park back in the day, before the injunction. Thanks for the flashback, Phil!

Used to see all sorts of fucked up band names when I used to read the Aquarian/EC Rocker:

Calypso Shooz
Umlaut
Power Windows (Rush tribute band, loads of tribute bands)
