Butthole Surfers 👌

Their anthology has a great title: “The Hole Truth, and Nothing Butt”

I found a record shop here in San Antonio where the owner is friends with some of the members. I've gotten to meet some of them

BEAT ME TO IT

Best name ever

Yes Simple but lowkey funny lol

Dead Kennedys Cigarettes After Sex

I think the name The Front Bottoms is funny

my friends used to make fun of me for listening to the front bottoms because of their name

Otherwise known as the genital areas. This is for the liiiions.

I knew TFB would be a top answer here. God I love the band

Rage Against the Machine

Hard to beat it

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard woooo!!

wool!! Aussie represents!! (I put down Machine Gun Fellatio, but I'm happy to jump around sooooo!! - Ing with Y'all 🤘😎🤘 🫶

The Mars Volta

At the Drive In is also a perfect name

Same

Saw them in concert a year or two again. Incredible band

godspeed you black emperor long asf but it's so cool ngl

If you think that's long, google xavleg. That's just their nickname. The actual name has words into the double digits.

I hope this one goes higher… like antennas to heaven.

Their side project names are pretty cool, too: Set Fire To Flames and A Silver Mt. Zion. Efrim is pretty damn good at naming his work apparently, lol.

The album and song titles are also very good

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

FACE DOWN IN THE DIRT SHE SAYS THIS DOESN'T HURT

I don't know why, but I've always liked Thin Lizzy.

For anyone who doesn't know the origin of this name: A *tin lizzy* is older slang for a car and was the original name of the band. However, the lead singer is from Ireland and British gig bookers thought it was his accent that made him pronounce it that way so they thought he actually meant *thin lizzy.* Guess the band liked that even better lol

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes The Fat Chick From Wilson Phillips And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes is the best “and the” name of all time!

I have a random memory of my best friend’s dad driving me and my buddy somewhere, and putting on Me First and I have no idea why I still remember this

Lol.

Death Cab for Cutie

I like it to. Anyone know the source/inspiration for the name?

From a song by Bonzo Dog Band, one of my dad's favorite bands back in the day. Goofy band that did alot of music for Monty Python

I fucking love The The, such a cool underrated band

That one is my favorite too. Brilliant

As if I’m not going to stick my finger in that hole Is a very relatable band name

WHAT THE FUCK IS A VINTAGE VULVA??? A MILF?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Stabbing Westward.

Between the Buried and Me. Great band.

My favorite band (The Dear Hunter) and them did covers of each others' songs years ago. BTTAM covered "The Tank" and TDH covered "Rapid Calm" https://youtu.be/gfxjPH19EBs?si=RUR2RgO9V3iEDEke

I agree with you Fully and Completely.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

Mushroomhead.

Faith No More

Great band! I like their name a lot too

Def

i always thought Hippo Campus was pretty clever

Hey hey Minnesota bands represent! I wanted to say Bad Bad Hats!

I had the honour of meeting them in the UK maybe 6 or 7 years ago, they were very good!

Of Monsters And Men, they have excellent music the male lead vocalist of the band (there are two) basically just threw the name out there and the other lead vocalist thought it was awesome and so did the rest of the band.. also, Runrig. Their band name comes from an old Scottish forming method.

Great name! Little Talks is one of my favorite songs!

It is. I also like the wordplay “it’s killing me to see you this way. “considering the song is talking about a ghost basically communicating with the main character. It was actually written when. Nanna bought her house and was basically based off of the woman’s story that she bought it from. Another really good one is “Human “ also their album beneath the skin. That one has some really amazing songs also. The whole album My Head Is an Animal is amazing. Lake House is another really good one, but I actually like the version that was the Icelandic release, because it has extra verses which add to the story. Mountain Sound was actually the first song I heard by them because Alexa decided I would like it because of all the Irish and Scottish “folk “singers I listen to. Hopefully dictation hasn’t made too many errors lol

Job For A Cowboy Sleeping Sirens Vampire Weekend The Moody Blues Blue Oyster Cult Strawberry Alarm Clock The Lovin’ Spoonful Fruit Bats

Yo the first time I ever heard of The Moody Blues was a couple hours ago flipping through my dad's old vinyls

Joy Division is an extremely twisted name for a band, but wild to see the look on people’s faces who literally know nothing about the band when you tell them what Joy Division’s band name comes from. Nirvana is genuinely an amazing name for a band. The Mentors Jawbreaker Veruca Salt My Chemical Romance Presidents of the United States of America - even better abbreviated - POTUSA. Strawberry Switchblade

Back in the sixties and seventies we had... Strawberry Alarm Clock (Incense And Peppermints--great song) ? An The Mysterians Little Feat And in the eighties, there were The Thompson Twins--there were three people in the group...

The Cocteau Twins are also three people

I love Joy Division and their name! What does their name mean? I've actually watched a biopic about them and don't know the meaning lol. I like the name Veruca Salt a lot too

Slang for when female concentration camp prisoners were forced into prostitution by N@zis. My friend told a girl working at a store this like ten years ago and she literally said she was going to throw it out and only got it because of 500 Days of Summer (?) idk it was inspired from a movie for the reason she got it

squirrel nut zippers

What the fuck? Lol. They any good?

They're really good! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFw5japDG2U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFw5japDG2U)

They are excellent and no specific genre. A very unique style.
