Best band names.

Bucket

Come on, let's have some positivity.

I nominate Steely Dan, Tower of Power and Half Man Half Biscuit.

Personally I like a lot of one word names, which was a real 'thing' in the 90s - Pulp, Suede, Blur, Sleeper. And I always thought Abba was pretty clever. Obvious, but clever.

Jason

The Last Of The Teenage Idols

I'm aware that its a nicked song title by SAHB, but I couldn't think of a better name

I liked Izzy Stradlin & The Ju Ju Hounds, I have no idea what a Ju Ju Hound is, but it sounds good

EricTheWeary

Policeman with a loaf of bread.

Gaye bykers on acid.

The leather nun.

The Gaylords

Byron Lee and the Dragonaires

All synonyms for penis.

Some names fit or evoke a band’s music perfectly 

Eat Static
Mercury Rev
Swervedriver
 Crowbar
 Curve
Orbital
 Nine Inch Nails
Lush

Philly_Q

Blood Ceremony

Legionreturns

Not a band, (sorry) but a song name that has always stuck with me. On Little Angels "Jam" album there's a short instrumental track called "STW" which allegedly stands for Soap Tit Wank and was written while in the bath with his girlfriend. 

I'm not sure how true it is, but I want it to be!

LesbianWithAGun

The Sex Pistols
Guns N' Roses
Nine Inch Nails
Lesbian With A Gun

and most other penis metaphors except Honky Sausage, they could go to Hell they were that lame.

Nitefly

Dopeheads On Mopeds

stimpsonslostson

Led Zeppelin 
The Beatles

Dominic

Cradle of Filth
 The Front Bottoms
 Culture Club
 

BloodEagle

Bathtub Shitter

Deadman

Another vote for Half man half biscuit, but I'm biased.

Always liked Carter the unstoppable sex machine, The mothers of invention, Tubeway army, Gogol Bordello and Soft machine too.

breakstuff

The Sultans Of Ping FC.

Kebabkid

Toad the Wet Sprocket

Dopesick

Carcass has to be my all-time favourite band name. It just reeks of filth and, aesthetically, it's a nicely balanced word (yes I know, I'm a weirdo).
Cro-Mags
Butthole Surfers
Swans
Soilent Green
My Bloody Valentine
Mastodon
Scissorfight
