Best Band Name

[Eligos]

Have you ever started listening to a band merely because they had an incredible name? What's your favorite band name thus far?

So far, I've been really impressed by:
Darkened Nocturne Slaughtercult
God Among Insects
Kastigation
Satanic Warmaster

 

[Vossyrus]

I've never actually checked out a band simply because of their name, but anyhow...Deathspell Omega and Cradle of Filth are two that come to mind...too many to name really.

 

[Eligos]

Should those two bands ever be mentioned in the same sentence?

 

[Vossyrus]

Yes. I don't see why not.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Black Sabbath
The Doors
The Grateful Dead
Hawkwind
Iron Butterfly
Joy Division
Molly Hatchet
Queens of the Stone Age
Sir Lord Baltimore
Ten Years After
Twisted Sister

 

[Eligos]

Man those bands are almost as good as The Decemberists.

 

[Belligerent]

Black Sabbath
Ten Years After

Yes.

I'll add:
King Crimson
Pink Floyd
Deep Purple
Uriah Heep

as far as metal i've always thought Dark Tranquillity was an awesome name.

 

[meeseface]

ZZ top

 

[Belligerent]

^They should have been called Frank Beard Band

 

[meeseface]

why?

 

[Belligerent]

Because the drummer is named Frank Beard, he is beardless and he rules.

 

[meeseface]

I figured that would have been your answer. say frank beard band 5 times

Dripping

 

[tagradh]

Even though it's actually stupid I think Blut Aus Nord sounds cool.

 

[skeptik]

Hetsheads With Hetsfaces And The Fuckfaces Of Death
Bretwaldas Of Heathen Doom
Misantropical Painforest
Anal Vomit
Bastardator
Blasphemophagher
Garlik De'th
Goat Molestör
Hatework
R. U. Dead?
Rudimentary Peni
Sthygma



Real answer:

Judas Priest



This is a stupid thread though.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Prostitute Disfigurement could be on that list, Dodens Grav



These are cool band names imo:

Morbid Angel
Darkthrone
Deathspell Omega

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Nitro

 

[cannibal corpse]

Cannibal Corpse, Autopsy, Devourment, Mayhem, Morbid Angel, Obituary, Suffocation, Anthrax, Atheist, Bathory, Death, Defeated Sanity... loads really...

And yes, I do believe a cool name can help a band a lot.
