The Soft Pink Truth
Jody Foster's Army (mainly for the meaning behind the name which is fucking funny - google it!)
and the rapper Peedo, which is quite unfortunate but funny all the same.
i watched this thing on discovery channel once, where they made a robot shark and a robot hippo, and they fought them to the death (well as dead as robots can get).
the hippo won. although the shark should have one cos its cooler.
to be loyal i have to say the name of my band 'forgotten change' and i don't even now why it's just in my view which is sooo biased it is a very kool name
Most grindcore bands have great names. Like Pig Destroyer, or Extreme Noise Terror, Discordance Axis, Burnt by the Sun, Agorophobic Nosebleed, Cattle Decapitation.
AFter initially hating it -
Radiohead.
I get the image of someone who's head is always set to receive, crackling with thoughts and energy and paranoia. brilliant.
Erm best name i've heard is probably the kaiser chiefs but if i were making a name for my own band it would be enigma because i am an enigma people think they know me and then i do something really unpredictable, yeh that me :D
I think British Sea Power is a pretty cool name even if a lot of people may disagree. It's patriotic,earthly and brings to mind enviromentally friendly power stations.
Ouch my hair's onfire buts no-ones bothered. A real band from Burnley area featuring a young Alice Nutter who went on to join Chumbawamba and a few of old school fun punk Notsensibles.

Special mention also goes to Anal Cunt, who not only have one the coolest band names ever, but also have song titles such as "You're A Fucking Cunt," "The Only Reason Men Talk To You Is Because They Want To Get Laid, You Stupid Fucking Cunt" and possible the sickest song title ever - "I Became A Counselor So I Could Tell Rape Victims They Asked For It."
just love 'Get Cape...' shouldn't they get some sort of trophy for having the coolest band name or something? (at very least a bag of penny chews and Flumps each)
try also...
Kyuss ('cos when you first see it, you're never sure how to pronounce it)
Mors Princpium Est (can't remeber what it translates to, but it's pretty fucking cool)
Smashing Pumpkins
My Awesome Compilation
Mine are :-
Dead Kennedys (Explains itself really)
Lynard Skynard (after Leonard Skinner, who was a gym coach some band members had in high school )
Joy Division (Concentration camp prostitute huts)
DEVO (Devolution)
Fairport Convention (Name of house where band formed)
Velvet Underground (S&M Book title)
Twisted Sister (They looked like weird drag queens)
The Flaming Lips (VD)
Jethro Tull (Inventor of the seed drill)
Roxy Music (Named after a cinema added Music later)
Sticking with the Joy Division Nazi theme, Spandau Ballet are named after the name that Nazi guards gave to the contortions jewish concentration camp prisoners made, when dying in the gas chambers in the Spandau concentration camp. Nasty. And they were such a cheesy band too.
Dunno if someone else has mentioned it and I've just not spotted it, but I always thought Guns N' Wankers was a fantastic name. And I do regret never seeing Bum Gravy. Mindless Drug Hoover's quite good too, but that's just one bloke, not a band, so I don't know if that counts.
How about worst band names? Stuck Mojo get my vote. What were they thinking?
The Beatles is possibly the worst band name ever. They're like beetles, but they are providing the new beat of the 1960s. Do you see what they did there? I bet they regretted that one later.

Electric Six were originally called Fuxedo which is pure genius.
I once saw a band called the Swedish Fuck Monkeys supporting The Wildhearts at The Junction in Cambridge but haven't heard anything since.
