The Teardrop Explodes' "Reward" has just been on the radio. 'What a fucking great name for a band,' I thought.
What are the best ever band names? Here's some for starters:
The Teardrop Explodes Sex Pistols Felt Half Man, Half Biscuit Joy Division Prolapse Wu Tang Clan
i thought this about a band the other day. i can't for the life of me remember who though.
in the meantime:
throwing muses pop will eat itself my bloody valentine get cape. wear cape. fly
i shall doubtless be adding to this as the day progresses. i have nothing better to think about.

Pooh sticks is a game is it not? You drop two sticks one side of a bridge and whoever's comes out the other side first is the winner? It's from a Winnie The Pooh book I'm sure. Which I was very fond of as a child.
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark Echo & The Bunnymen Mannheim Steamroller Babylon Zoo Iron Maiden The Dream Academy Mouse and the Love and Light Orkestra Architecture in Helsinki
Emilie Autumn and the Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls (her touring show name) not to mention her backing singers, The Bloody Crumpets.
Electric Dentures and Scrambled Debutante. Neither are real bands, sadly, they're fictional bands from the comic strips Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes, respectively.
Fuck Buttons. Shit Disco (from Glasgow) Fuck Off Machete (from Glasgow)
Any band with swearing in the title basically.

yes. it is all those things.
and also a little welsh indie band with songs like 'I Know Someone Who Knows Someone Who Knows Alan McGee Quite Well'.

There's also a band called 'Porno Graffitti' here too.
