Everybody loves a list

Well, I'm off again to another business conference so blogging will be sporadic at best until a week from now. Such are the pitfalls of the solitary blogger; fortunately, few readers will be devastated. However, just to keep things rolling, here's my list of the best and worst band names. Feel free to add your own choices in the comments. Ta-ta for now.

Best band names:

1. The Undisputed Truth
2. Dropkick Murphys
3. Led Zeppelin
4. Big Brother & the Holding Company
5. The Velvet Underground
6. Three Dog Night
7. Devo
8. Booker T. & the MGs
9. Squirrel Nut Zippers
10. The Rolling Stones

Worst band names:

1. The Bee Gees
2. Duran Duran
3. The Polyphonic Spree
4. Bad Company
5. Maroon 5
6. Ronnie & the Daytonas
7. The O'Jays
8. Kiss
9. Timbuk 3
10. Boston, Berlin, Chicago, America, Europe, Asia, etc. (tie)

Discuss.

For the record, Eric, I'm devastated...

Surprised that "Toad, the Wet Sprocket" didn't make either list.

Well, 'Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts' surely belongs on one of those lists.

Wasn't there a band called the Dead Kennedys in the mid 80's?
