At the risk of getting a name for myself for starting pointless threads.......

What are your favourite band names?

Obviously how much you like the band may effect your opinion, but that's ok. i'll allow it.

Can I kick us off with....

Silver Jews
The Cramps
The Pop Group
Half Man Half Biscuit
Bat for Lashes
That Fucking Tank
Blonde Redhead
