    damn you, I knew I would leave some big ones out.

    Thin Lizzy is probably just outside my top 10 or maybe even in my top 10. Jesus H. Christ!

    The Pixies
    Wu-Tang Clan
    Coldplay

    Worst band names that come to mind:

    Again, I don't necessarily dislike the music of some of these....just the names and vice versa.

    One of my students has formed a band called Angels of Death. That's pretty cool.

    Back in the 90's, some of my students formed a band called Black Vomit, inspired by a Louisiana history lesson about Yellow Fever and it's symptoms--one of which was black vomit. They were 8th graders and thought that was cool.
