    I also like "The Band of a Thousand Names"... who could then refer to themselves by a different name at every show.

    I think Greatwhitelionsnake would be the perfect hair-metal band name.

    I always wanted to do a bluesy-trio & find a couple big hairy guys to play backup, then I could call it Little Peter & the Twins.

    There were a couple cool bands from the Flint, MI area in the mid/late 80's that had awesome names(& music): Rollercoaster of Tranquillity, and Guilty Bystanders.

    Awesome reference. Love that movie.

    As for my pick:

    "Weird Harold". Would be a killer name for a funk band.

    Needless to say, I've never named any band I was in.

    I always thought that Phil and the Phlegmtones would be a good name. Or maybe Big Dick and the Moonbusters.

    Unfortunately, most of the good band names have already been thought of... Bands like Ben Dover and the Screamers, The Hostile Amish, and everyone's favorite, Jehovah's Waitresses. There was also a band here in town that started out as Satan Tortilla, which later morphed into a band called Taco Diablo or something like that.

    Back when I still played, the only two bands I was in that lasted long enough to actually have a name were Trampoline Dentistry and Illegal Detonation of Poultry.

    Crystal Princess - Tweeny-bopper

    Crystal princess sounds like a euphemism for cocaine. So I guess it's pretty appropriate for the average tweeny-bopper then.

    I fronted "Chuck's Mom" in Rochester NY (for a good time, call Chuck's Mom) and in Florida I fronted "The Four Kings" (Have a FourKing Good Time.)

    I've always liked:

    Jesus Chrysler - Supercar

    Thunderchunk

    Uncle Dad (country band)

    A friend of a friend is in a band called The Spazmatics.

    Unfortunately, they've been lost in the mists of time, but there used to be a punk band that changed their name between every album - but the albums all had the same title.

    Ah, Ben Dover and the Screamers. I think that was Ben Parker, the Put-in-Bay, Ohio native.

    Also popular back then was Phil Dirt and the Dozers as well as The Killer Flamingos.

    Let also not forget Island favorites; Wally and the Beavs

    Is 'Poisen' a "Poison" cover band?

    Yeah, that's probably them. This was the late '80s so my memory hasn't quite retained it.

    "You hired Poison to play at our wedding reception?!"

    "No, we're Cyanide, the loving tribute to Poison!"

    millions of dead cops missiles destroy civilization millions of dead cows -- maybe a play on the first one, or a dumb punker who typo'd the stencil for the spraypaint job on his black leather jacket?

    Is AngryCorvair copyrighted? That would be a cool band name too.

    Growing up as part of the white minority in the prodominantly black neighborhood, I always a better name for an all-white boy-band (like the New Kids) would be "Pale Imitation."
