I'm adding the "The Devil and Mike Love"

Somewhere I have a list that is probably similarly long from when one of my old bands was, via an email group of half a dozen people or so, throwing names back and forth for the better part of a day. I'll see if I can find it!

Do it, we need future generations of people who frequent this forum to have a suitable band name. No longer will we be classified by our real names or forum handles!

Murph and the Smiley Tones

Looking back on this list, composed in halfdrunk reverie, I'm convinced that calling your band..

The White Album

Might be the music industries worst nightmare. It's not offensive, kooky or odd like most of them. It's not like The Beatles could sue you, as it's not the albums actual name, but the problems are rife.

"The new single from.... The White Album"

"What new music are you listening to, trendsetter types?"
"The White Album"
"...Ok"

All the flyers, posters, adverts, billboards, etc would say LISTEN TO THE WHITE ALBUM.

No-one could google you.

Any article written would be devoted mostly to discussing the stupid name.

People could barely talk about you.

You also can't shorten the name to something else, unless you feel comfortable talking enthusiastically/dismissively/ about having seen The White in a club last night.

The immense headaches when you call your actual album something else.

Touring would also be immense hassle - The White Album is playing in Cardiff, Exeter, Stoke...

Actually being in the band would be a horrifying strain too, as the heckles would be obscene. Not to mention interviews




Think I've found my ideal band name.

*applause*

If the alternate universe theory is true, then somewhere out there, Meetwood .flac and Which c*** Witch Hunt are two of the most famous bands on earth.

How I wish I lived in that universe.

When I started this thread, I had no idea that poster halblaineisgood (lets appreciate the deft touch in the name there) would be its hardest working contributor. I say we give him a great big hand.

I finally found the name for my one man band.

‍

Why, fun, of course.

Perfect name for a reggae band: Openly Reggae

I almost died laughing when I came up with "Riders On The Throne - The Bedpans"

Now... it doesn't seem funny at all (no I wasn't high)

I think I have to be in a certain mood for this stuff to humor me.

Are you sure in your American heritage? That's the exact English translit of Russian word "Крокодил"/Crocodile/.

In case you didn't know, Krokodil is a flesh-eating drug. Search it up

Thanks for explanation, friend. I did & that's nasty. Makes sense why it's called Krokodil.
