Circle Jerks

and
The Dead Milkmen

Of course you gotta have some weirdness and/or artsy-ness thrown in for a good name, such as
Throbbing Gristle

or the always eye popping:
The Butthole Surfers

I remember when they made bumbper stickers that just screamed "BUTTHOLE" in giant bold pink letters. Too funny.
And then there was
...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead

To which I was all "Ohh fuck yeah!! Awesome name!" And rushed out and bought it only to be sadly disapointed that the music was neither "crushing-death-metal-like-none-ever-heard-before" nor was it "murderous Charlie Manson Family flava of anarcho-punk". Just lame-o Indie. Which made me hesitant to ever listen to this next one, although I love the name:
I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness

Here are some of my favorite, lesser known band names that I love:
John Cougar Concentration Camp

Starvation Army

The Horny Mormons

Carnage Asada

And my favorite of late, if not all-time(although I'm not sure if foreign readers will understand it fully):
Blood Bath and Beyond

What are your favorite band names?
