Another band who can't be googled; 'Sexy Kids'. (they're v good though).

Anyway continuing with great names

Benny Profane Gorky's Zygotic Mynci Beef Curtains

Best names are those that can conjure up the sound of the music in one word (and swear words are a bit middle school I think)

Doves Orbital Interpol Germs Cracker

No-one's mentioned Anal Cunt

Abyssinian pole vault were a band that played in a pub I used to work at in Blackpool in the 80's, they played covers of Tears for fears, very, very badly, the guitarist had no idea of triplets, which made the intro to everybody wants to rule the world comical.

Great name, shite band

I'm sure I heard a band called Waikikamukau pronounced Why kick a moo cow, in the 80's but not sure where, very hazy recollection!!

Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle.

Peely was a fan.

Black Box Fuckpuppet Fuzzbox Arse Biscuit

Venetian Snares The Zimmermen Fanny Cider

The Arrogant Worms Puffy AmiYumi Circa Survive Super Furry Animals

I FORGOT ABOUT THEM!

Yes, that is an EXCELLENT choice!

Massive Attack Godspeed You Black Emperor The KLF Einstürzende Neubauten KMFDM (allegedly, Kill Motherfucking Depeche Mode) Black Box Recorder Kraftwerk British Sea Power Postal Service Revenge

Joy Division really is unbeatable as a name, though.

Seona Dancing

I can't believe that nobody has mentioned Depeche Mode here.

Surely no-one will ever beat that...

and surely ...

The Buzzcocks
