On top of my 'To Do'-list (when it comes to this forum ) has (for a long time) been making a thread called "The Funniest Band Names In History."


Now forum member, staggy, gave me the incentive to do this with his latest post


My two favourite band names (ever since the 80's) have been Gaye Bykers On Acid and... (artistic pause for added drama...) Half Man Half Biscuit


So without further ado: Let the gay times begin...

There's a one-hit-wonder band that has recently materialized in Russia called ..... (artistic pause for added drama...) ... UMA THURMAN with an accompanying one hit of the same name.

This article will clarify any confusion :-

NBC: Russian rockers' Uma obsession - Europe - MSNBC.com

I believe since the release of this article, they have had the pleasure of meeting the great lady

The Strawberry Alarm Clock

The Electric Prunes

Squirrel Nut Zippers

10,000 Maniacs

And my favourite from the late 60s - (drum roll............) Procol Harum

Google revealed some questionable band names, but the one that made me laugh is "Ben Folds Laundry"

[Nightfly]

The Bad Brains

[Barney]

Spinal Tap
3 daft monkeys
Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band
Dexy`s Midnight Runners (you do need to know what a Dexy is to appreciate this one).

Let's hear it for Athletico Spizz 80!

I always thought it was weird that a rapper would call himself Immature.
