The best Band name you ever heard?

What is the best Band name you ever heard.

For me it was Furious Trousers. Whilst seeing a local Band I saw the name on a flyer in Molly Malones in Hitchin. It was in the early 90's I think. It absolutely creased me & still does when I recount the story. Regrettably I never ever got to see them. Any history?

Ludwig von 88

 

[Joe Hutch]

Half Man Half Biscuit not only have the best name, they are also the best band ever.

Crispy Ambulance are a close second in the name stakes, followed by Camper Van Beethoven.

 

[Singslinger]

Butthole Surfers and Morglbl.

Aphrodites child...don't know why but it popped into my head soon as I read the thread header

Indestructible Beat of South Norwood. Township jive of the very best order.

Sex Pistols have to be up there.

In the eighties I perused the NME to see what was on in That London gig-wise and clocked "Zodiac Mindwarp" supported by "Me Evil Bastard". The names are more memorable than the music...

One that ticked the boxes for me recently was
We Were Promised Jetpacks.

 

[Mescalito]

"A Sunny Day In Glasgow" tickled mu funny bone as well.

[Markus S]

I like MC 900 Ft Jesus.

 

[OneStepBeyond]

The Who, Soft Machine, Primal Scream, Dodgy, The Cure, The Kinks, The Stooges, Supergrass.

All simple but effective IMO.

 

[Colin L]

Tragically Hip.....

 

[HowardL]

Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias

 

[Mescalito]

If we are talking about names which actually reflect the music of the band, I nominate Anal C*nts, or AxCx in polite society.
