I was thinking the other day about how some band names are really bizarre and wacky! It's like how did they come up with that name? Here's a few that sprang to mind but I'm sure there are loads more...

Prefab Sprout
The Blow Monkeys
Arctic Monkeys
Echo and the Bunnymen
Inspiral Carpets
Pet Shop Boys
Was Not Was
Smashing Pumpkins
Weekend Players
Pearl Jam

I agree with you 100%!
Last year I went to a live concert in the Koko Club in Camden.
The band who was playing (not very famous yet!) was called Ghosts 😀

That name is so silly! Kept saying: I went to see ghosts! :confused:

The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.

I once asked the DJ over the phone on a hospital radio station if he had anything from that group. Not knowing the name, he thought I was taking the p***, got angry and told me to, er, go away! :p

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds why...?

The Engineers for my fave geek-name (big soundscape shoegazer band).
