Fatoosh Juice and Ken Andy Will are a couple band names I want to use for solo projects in the future possibly. But famous bands?

 

Herman's Hermits

King Crimson

 

I like these two band names due to the alliteration factor. ok, break is over. back to work. that's all i have for today...

This thread seems to be more about strange and bizarre band names but one of the COOLEST names for a band is RUSH! Seriously, simple, direct, and what's a more fitting name for a prog-metal band than RUSH!!

The name Pink Floyd came about when someone in the band, likely Syd, took the first names of 2 American bluesmen, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council and combined them to make their name.

 

I loved the name Rush the first time I heard of the band ("In The Mood" on the radio I would guess). Still think it's an excellent name for a band.
