59 Funny Band Names

For some bands, the name is all about marketing. Unless you’re in bands like the Eagles and Journey, who obviously didn’t think long and hard about their name, the name is like a book cover. It tells people a little about you without them hearing any songs. And as rock ‘n’ roll has progressed, so has the effort to stand out among bands with plain names like Spoon, Cake and Sponge.
