So, my husband's in a new band. Right now, they play covers of a mix of classic rock, 90's and current alternative, and a couple gawd-awful 80s hairband songs (actually, they're not too bad, luckily). But they're having the trouble of coming up with a cool band name. I know most people won't tell their favorites because, of course, you're saving it for your future band, but if you guys got any ideas, I'd love a little inspiration!

Thanks! :)

    Jeanwah is actually a pretty cool name.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    If they are playing hair metal covers, how about "Beyond Redemption" ??
    Actually some of those songs are OK, it's just most that are pus.
    Music is not a competetion.
