Favorite band name?

[RedStratocas]

Ive noticed that out of all the bands out there, there are only a few band names I hear and say "thats a great band name". I dont hear many good band names. It isnt even just a recent thing, there just havent been very many great band names for pretty much all time. I guess its hard to think of them.

A lot of these bands I dont even really like, but they've got good names.

Anyway, here's my list of my favorites:

The Smashing Pumpkins
Reel Big Fish
Rage Against The Machine
Sonic Youth
Modest Mouse
Built To Spill
LCD Soundsystem
The Decemberists

Smashing Pumpkins is probably my favorite. The band is okay, but I love that name. Its like a double ontondra (sp?)

no one notices the comma? well thats a lie, considering a few thousand of their fans probably do, i'd hardly say you were the first to notice that it was drop dead, gorgeous.
