Dire Straits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I almost named them as a band with a cool name. ;P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, you put Led Zep up there, so obviously your standard is pretty low. :P

The Mars Volta was always one of my favorite group names. The Smashing Pumpkins was also a neat name...hm. Nirvana. That's all I can think of atm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, no one has mentioned how "From Autumn To Ashes" is the most stereotypical name for an emo sissy rock group there is.

What's so bad about Kiss, Judas Priest and Foreigner?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd have the say the stupid band name EVER is "Cute without the E"

 

 

 

Another stupid one, although they are a great band, is ACDC. They got that off their sister's sewing machine, and it is some kind of adapter cord. Really wierd way to name a band.

Supermonk, proving you wrong since 1992.

Supermonk rocks, I want to have his children.

Music is like candy. You always get rid of the rapper.

I thought from autumn to ashes was a good name, cause the girl who sings occasionally on a few songs is called autumn (or supposedly called autumn.) And if you've heard the songs she sings on, they're amazin with her voice in. then again I love the band.

 

 

 

same doesn't go for From First To Last though, probably the least well thought out, generally crappy name for a band going. sounds like it's trying to have meaning behind it but, yaknow. also they suck :)

Linkin park [we are ... linkin... parks?]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

their original name was Lincoln Park, but when they went to register the domain name it was taken. so they changed the spelling to linkin park :] chester said the name had no meaning except that he drove past it a lot on his way to the recording studio, so without a meaningful name the music could describe itself :)

Faith No More

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also amazing if you know the story behind it...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

their original name was "faith no man", after their singer, but they fired him and so they were "faith no more"... plus they have awesome music....
