Anyone who has ever played in a band has surely gone through the ritual of sitting around with a six-pack and tossing out band name suggestions. I found some old notebooks, some dating as far back as 1977, with hundreds of group names that got a thumbs-down from fellow group members. I found it inspiring, so I edited the lists down and added a few new ones.
So, aspiring young guitar heroes, cocksure front men and Tommy Lee wannabes, if you're reading, take your pick from the winners below.
