Major, you better trademark that last one...

I feel so weak, all the good band names are gone...

I mean, there was a day, when you could call yourselves, "The Rolling Stones" or "The Who" or even "The Babies" or "Blondie" . "By the way, which one's Pink? "

Music is in a coma. Or a regression. Is Lady Gaga just a reincarnation of Liberace? Lots less talent, but plenty of flash? Maybe that's all that's required now. Not saying she has no talent, but Liberace was a genius on keys and a phenom too. Don't deny he was a great musician, please . . .

 

[Purple-Days]

Back on track, sorry for the rant. Would the OP harbor names of the worst (fictional or even real...) band names too? As long as this is for fun...

I select . . . _____________

Yes, I once knew a band named Blanco Nombre . Surf / Punk . . . Real guys, real band...

I like the name Vladamir for a surf band - Vladamir and the .. but what? That's the challenge.

First thing that came to mind was one of my favorite bands way back when.

and we can call the album "Drop Out With Stewie"

First thing that came to mind was one of my favorite bands way back when.

"The Flying Burrito Brothers"

Did you ever hear the Turtles album, "Battle of the Bands"? Each song was by a different made up band with a different name. Their psychedelic song, don't remember the title, was by a band called "The Atomic Enchilada" - really unique and funny album. It was right before The Turtles merged with Zappa and The Mothers.

*EDIT*

forgot to mention I'm also a huge Gram Parsons fan.

I decided that whenever I start a jam band with a few friends, we are going to be collectivity known as "The Movers and the Shakers".

The Date Grapes reminds me of a recent commercial for Dried Plums... Serious, they are selling Prunes as Dried Plums.

That page doesn't load - it's just a black screen; I've seen this happen with other radio pages...
You may not like all that I like; I enjoy chill out groove music, modern "easy listening" etc.
Guess I'm getting old...

I agree with PD's rant well above about how music is in a recession, with talentless techno-hip hop and techno-pop taking over the mantle of pop music. 50 years ago Martha Reeves and the Vandellas and the Beatles were on the top 10 chart, now it's f***ing Lady Gaga and some autotuned, gold-toothed moron. Music, literature, movies, video games since they have become a multibillion dollar industry, all are being dumbed down to the umpteenth degree in an effort to make sales to the lowest common denominator.

Some names: The Strats, Chana Massala, the Vaporists, Twenty-Three Skidoo, The Tandoors, Frankenstonian, Alabaster Superhighway, Indica Dominant.

www.Archive.org has some amazing live bootlegs from groups like the Grateful Dead, Bob Marley, Quicksilver Messenger Service and others.
