They spent a half an hour of the show today criticizing band names some I agree with and some I don't I was thinking is there any band with a good name?
What do you think is a good band name?

i actually do like "Guys with Ears"..the fact that they have ears means that they can listen and that their music is good. It makes total logical sense

"Einsturzende Neubauten" is a great name because those crappy buildings do tend to fall apart.
I have also like the name "Throbbing Gristle".

I don't know what a good band name is, but when I was in college my band's name was "Mando Byrche" ha ha it still makes me laugh to think about it.
"we're 'Mando Byrche', MAAAANNNNNNN"
I had a friend who was in a band in Europe called Krakhaus. That was a pretty cool name.

I had a long list of stupid punk/metal bands...but I still think the 2 best band names are "The Band" and Hank III's backup band "The Damn Band"
(but I still think Drunks With Guns is one of the best band names ever)

There was also a 70's/80's Australian experimental new wave band of the same name but they spelled it Tsk Tsk Tsk and used 3 arrows as its logo.
Speaking of which, I've always like Australian synth-punk group Slugfuckers. Pleasing to say and do.
