It's not obvious because dodgy names like the Beatles and the Stooges change fundamentally with familiarity with the band/music.

But Sonic Youth has to be a contender for the best rock band name ever, despite what you think of them?

Always one of my favorites.

Love their first album too:

Cop Shoot Cop: Ask Questions Later

Gotta add Dying Fetus in there too.

Something about Metal names. Just heard Caninus, which is awesome cuz the lead singers are dogs!

Funny thing about band names is that so many bands have rubbish names that the good ones seem brilliant.

I like the Nottingham kung-fu trend (Iron Monkey, Armour Of God)
Lots that I can't remember at the moment, which is always the way. Man Is The Bastard, for one, as well as His Hero Is Gone. I'm one for the nihilistic names, it seems. Faith No More as well, actually. Teenage Jesus and the Jerks is a cool one, and I love saying "Einsturzende Neubauten" and "Charger".

Last one I'll mention for the moment is when Rollins Band released an EP under the name Henrietta Collins and the Wife Beating Child Haters. Allegedly.
