Im curious, what do you guys think is the coolest name for a band? recent or old?

for whatever reason... "black rebel motorcycle club" sounds so bad ass.
I think soundgarden was a pretty damn cool name too.
the oceans made me, but who came up with love?

    The New Pornographers is a cool band name.

    I also like The Tragically Hip, The Rheostatics, Broken Social Scene, The Dandy Warhols, Greak Lake Swimmers, Mumm-Ra, My Morning Jacket.

    There are probably more.

    Mumm-ra is a cool name. I think Wellwater Conspiracy is a great name too.

    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    Bra - the ultimate support act
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
