Best and Worst Band Names of all time?

[rocketmaster]

Rog/Ella just posted about a new music vid channel and mentioned a few band names, including Modest Mouse. I love that name. What do you all think are the best and worst band names in history? Not thinking about the music, just the name. Clever, funny, stupid?

Favorites:

-A_nal Blast (it's just SO offensive! [img]rolleyes.gif[/img] ).

-Status Quo (The 60's one-hit-wonder band who recorded "Pictures of Matchstick Men", although now there are dozens of bands on P2P named the same).

-Nashville P_ussy (Hey, if you saw the trashy naked Klingon biker-chick bandmembers in a live concert too, maybe you'd appreciate the self-depreciating humor better.

-Misfits (how simple)

-Einsturzende Neubauten (How the f*** do you pronounce THAT!? (for the non-fans))

-Alien S_ex Fiend (Appreciated because NONE of their songs are about intercourse, or love, or romance, or f_u_c_k_i_n_g, or anything which might pop-to-mind with such a title.)

A friend and I were going to start a band called "The Revenge" but it never really got off the ground. But I still like the name tho - if I ever get a band going, that is what I would name it.

All the best
