One thing I've thought about lately is how difficult it is to think of a decent band name that hasn't already been taken. We're going to need one soon for our band (because frankly guys, I can't see us being called Giant Ken and the Undead Midgets for too long), so any suggestions are welcome (and no, 'go away and stop playing music forever' doesn't count).
I do a lot of new music searching these days, and the best band name I've found recently is I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness... but maybe this will help:
The Random Band Name Generator
Also, on a similar subject, check out the List of songs with particularly long titles at Wikipedia. There's some classics in there and no mistake...

I particularly like this one:
“We Were Stoned When We Thought Up The Title Of This And We Didn't Want To Give It A Name That We Had To Explain As 'Oh Yeah We Were Stoned When We Thought Of It' So We're Just Calling It Improvisational Jam 11-02-01”

Well, I can't think of any names but I tried Bob Marley's name in the generator thingy and it came up with this -“Radioactive Artificial Masters” or RAM for short... which I quite liked! As half the band are computer geeks i quite liked the way that one turned out.

“Screaming monkey stick” is my favourite band name from the band name generator in Beavis and Butthead's “This book
sucks”. That book was so funny I cried. Anwyay, I was going to suggest “The Shanks”, but they already exist, according to google.

Just call yourselves 'Monkey' and finish with all this pussy footing around! You know you want to! Though for some strange reason i can't help saying it in a chinese accent... or why not be “The band formally known as Monkey”

That was about the best I came up with.

That sucks. Try these:
- Tiny Pre-Shredded Christians
- Be The One With The Polystyrene Rock
- Nine-Inch Flourescent Pussy
- Lick My Killer Baldwins
- Kill Your Fat Programmers
- Send In The Agnostic Sinatra
I particularly like the last one...

Beer Rehab is definately a contenter. I liked God Made Mothers.
