Best Name for a Band

One of my favorite's is a Country/heavy metal band called
Hayseed Dixie (say it a couple of times...)

Yup, they do covers of AC/DC songs in bluegrass style. Actually, they're pretty good, and the songs make the transition rather well...

Goose Creek Symphony (local southern rock band that does a redneck concert up here every year by the lake.)

The 16yo and her buds are planning a band called "HELL NO!" Even have a bunch of shirt designs made up, but still looking for a lead. (Daughter wants to be the bass player.)

There was a metal band in the 90s called Pi**ing Razors which I thought was a pretty good name for a metal band, more original than most anyway.

There's some grind and death bands that have some pretty offensive names which I guess I should say are neither big nor clever. Anal C**t is probably the most offensive one just for use of the C word alone.

A friend of mine has started a band called Cobra Kai which makes me insanely jealous (been trying to think of a good name for my band for ages).

Buck Naked and the Fleshtones (long-gone? Vancouver band)

Twisted Shiksa (University of Victoria klezmorim)

Les Lost and the Navigators (my jazz / r&b band)

BTW, Hayseed Dixies also do a version of Stairway to Heaven that is... sublime.

Hayseed Dixie... I hadn't thought of them for a while. They really are good at what they do. Thanks for reminding me of them.
