Giving Your Band a Name

This is a list of my favorite band names. Most are actual bands, some are made-up. It doesn't really matter - are bands with names like "Roid Rogers and the Whirling Butt Cherries" really going to make it past their parent's garages?

The bolded ones are those that my friends and I have come up with, the rest are culled from Canonical List of Weird Band Names and the ever-popular Swarming Midgets Band Name Archive site. Send me your best (or worst, whatever your perspective is) band name for inclusion.

I started working on good names for autobiographies as well, but it fell through after my first big hit, Rock Star Parking at the Piggly Wiggly Or, the Tale of a Big Fish on Hot Asphalt. Autobiographical names are similiar to band names, but they can be longer. See the difference?
