| The Beatles. If you were around then, as I was, you might recall thinking, what? Naming a band after an insect? Bands were supposed to have names like The Del-Somethings. |

Location: Yucaipa, California | ...I always liked the band name "Impacted Earwax", but then I also like the banjo...
...and for the Munchkins from Oz, "Luscious Roo Lips".... quite evocative.... |

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | Both the Beatles and The Hollies were tributes to, and recognition of, Buddy Holly and the Crickets.
But this is a great opportunity for horrid band names you've never seen.....

| Point is the act, if it's a good one, overcomes whatever silliness the name conjures up on first hearing. Most names sound dumb until the talent behind them provides a different frame of reference. |

| The Grateful Dead and Rebekkah Goes Swimming are still the two best names ever. |

My high school band was... Captain YoYo and the Seadogs.
Rebekkah Goes Swimming is a GREAT name.
As is Without Annette. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | We used to play a game in inspection called "How 'bout", where we would try to come up with good, or silly names for bands. I thought up "Dog Stew", and I liked it so much that later when one of my ex's and I formed a duo, that's what we called ourselves. We even had promo posters made with a picture of us sitting on the kitchen floor. I was slicing carrots, and Diamon Joe was holding a glinting knife, about to butcher a friends dog. (We were young, what can I say?) |

| Of course "The Band" is either the best or the worst, depending on personal taste. |
