Best Band Names
Whilst channnel-hopping the other night I happened upon a heavy metal awards ceremony (no, haven't been getting out much lately). The bands all had typically ludicrous metal Proof that a band with this name does exist
names such as 'Mastodon', 'Nightwish' and 'Satan's Arse' (ok, I made that one up). This got me thinking about band names and, more specifically, my favourite ones. So here they are...
The Tall Dwarves
John Cougar Concentration Camp
The Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash (and that's what they sound like)
The Band (cocky, but I like it)
The Trash Can Sinatras
The Tragically Hip
Death Cab for Cutie
The Nervous Wrecks
And, my favourite:
Sportsguitar (one of the oddest and strangely funniest word joinings I've heard. Note that it's not 'Sports/Guitar' or 'The Sportsguitars' but simply 'Sportsguitar'. Brilliant.)
Best name for a tribute band: The Rolling Clones (genius)
I have just discovered that Sportsguitar are from Switzerland, which somehow makes their name even funnier.

My current favourite is a band called I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness - they're pretty good as well as being niftily-named.
I spotted another good one while browsing through allofmp3.com - Painbastard. Beautiful.
I saw a great one there the other day too; Darkthrone. Their album is called 'Sardonic Wrath'.
