With the "Worst Band Names" thread on the go, I decided it was time for a thread on good names. You don't have to like the band, just the name.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre
The Velvet Underground
Parliment Funkadelic

I also liked Pink Floyd better when it was preceded with "The". It sounds less like a person and more like an event that way.

The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza

Wins the thread, hands down.

x2 for The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravanganza, that one gets me every time.

And as for The Brian Jonestown Massacre, I think they should have their own thread here, but I've never been too sure if anybody here would participate in it.

I would. But we would need 'supplies' if you know what I mean.

I think this would be great - rather than hijack this thread!
