As much as I love crazy band names, I love the ironic simplicity of “The Band.”😝

I remember hearing in high school that Butthole Surfers were originally called Asshole Surfers, but when they blew up they had to clean it up for TV/radio play. Wonder if that’s true.

[OtterMan68]

@WhiteSteve How about the Ultimate Spinach? The Beacon Street Union? Lothar and the Hand People? Orpheus? and my favorite Earth Opera.

My all-time favorite might be the short-lived fictional band Kevin Arnold was in on an episode of The Wonder Years: The Electric Shoes ⚡️👟👟⚡️

Butterfly had the classic Ina Da Gada Da Vida. It listens well even now.

I'm prejudiced because three of them are/were Canadian lads (the sole survivor, Garth Hudson, is like Yours Truly, a Windsor, Ont. native, though unlike Yours Truly, he left at an early age), but calling a band THE Band is ballsy and cool.

[Nikki1989]

I have always liked the name Iron Butterfly.

[riverrat3]

They did some nice stuff, listen to the BALL album

[Nikki1989]

@riverrat3 We have the album somewhere.
