coolest band/album name?
without getting into the disgusting or offensive categories, please...
and it doesn't have to be one you own, but ideally searchable somehow
and we might add another category for misheard ones. lazy people can click here for inspiration
what do you consider the coolest band/album name?
a few that came to mind:
Jaron Lanier (the first all virtual reality glove performance) ~ One Hand Clapping
a Vancouver band with a mostly female audience (accurately) called: Chixdiggit
almost Engrish Japanese bands like All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku
from the playful, Amazing Circus Midgets
to the oxymoronic... No use for a name
but my favourite album name (vinyl issue only, seen on napster but never since): The Polyestah Manifestah
so what laughable labels lurk in your library or link lists?

if i ever get to choose an album name for a band i would go for "OK18" if it fit. It sounds cool.
My Bloody Valentine
Nevermore - Dead Heart in a Dead World
Rapture - Songs for the Withering
My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans (MDB also has the coolest song names)
My Dying Bride - The Thrash of Naked Limbs
"Grand Opening and Closing"
There new. Very intense band.
I'm an old school punk...I have millions...
My personal favorite of the ones he mentions in that cartoon is LimoZeen.
Personally i think the best band names are one word names. Much quiker and easier to spit out. Three or four syllables max, I'd say. Interestingly, most of the great bands in history tend to have really simple names.
As far as albums...Dookie.
Nine In Nails
Best Album ever:
The Downward Spiral
Best Album Name: Bounce8)
They invented the phrase.
Anyone who disagrees I will fight.

That's actually just the name of an Anime OAV. She's very cute... but has the brain of a cat (literally).

Remember when bands like Duran Duran, Depeche Mode or Missing Persons were considered cool names? Of course not-- half of this board weren't alive when these groups were formed.
I'm so old.
Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell
Led Zeppelin - that album with the funky symbols (IV)
Santana * his name is just cool
..and closer to this millenium...
Voice of the Beehive
Die Toten Hosen
Brimful of Asha
t.A.T.u
Warlock Pinchers had a record named Circusized Peanuts. Had a picture of some hardshell peanuts in a circus ring hehe. I think a "warlock" is another word for a joint. That album had a great song names too... Morrisey Rides A Cockhorse and Where The Hell Is Crispin Glover. Probably not the best band ever, but funny names.
Someone already mentioned the Butthole Surfers, and I think they also have some great album names like Hairway to Steven and Locust Abortion Technician.
I thought DJ Shadow's Endtroducing... was a clever album name as well.
