^ Their Red Hot Chili Peppers parody, Trippin' on XTC, is one of the funniest songs/videos EVER.

The Muslims was a great band name before they had to change it to the Soft Pack.

I remember John Peel saying he once got a demo from a band called "Kick The Pregnant"

In the late 90s and early 00s, there was a band in Australia called Machine Gun Fellatio.

They had songs with titles like 'Butter My Arse with a Pigeon'.

Apparently they were pretty good, but I haven't listened.

I feel I have said that here before somewhere though.

That compilation is 101 ~30-second songs, of which there are plenty about masturbating.

I am a big fan of Jackie O Motherfucker... Sonic Youth (brilliant band name) ...

Can’t think right now.

Spiritualized is a great one.
Acid Mother’s Temple.
Pussy Galore.
Primal Scream.
REM.

There’s an art to it. I’ll try to think of others.

I really want to make a scatter plot comparing the awesomeness of bands with the awesomeness of their names.

Far, far at the bad name/good band extreme: My Bloody Valentine.

Well, that’s a weird one, because in 2019 to a teenager growing up in the ‘00s, it probably sounds gag-worthy, like oh I dunno my chemical romance... But ... it’s actually a good band name.

A take on “My Funny Valentine” that makes it sound a fittingly dangerous (at least for their early work) and goes well with their sound.

Great name, great band.
