You get really cool, sell-out stadium sounding band names or you get lame ducks like The Cooper Temple Clause.

What are the coolest sounding band names? I'll get the ball rolling with:

Aerosmith
Guns N Roses
Queen
Nirvana
Poison
Kiss
INXS
Whitesnake
Foreigner

Not do with being well known. I haven't heard of some of the bands listed, but names like Dream Theater are pretty cool.

Anal Blast not so much

My Chemical Romance,
30 Seconds To Mars,
Fightstar,
Rage Against The Machine,
Placebo,
The All American Rejects,
Funeral For A Friend,
Hoobastank,
Switchfoot,
Nirvana,
The Calling

I think these are all great rock band names for either being catchy or just a bit odd/different.

Blondie, mainly because of the story behind it.

Originally billed as Angel and the Snakes, they renamed themselves Blondie in late 1975. The name derived from comments made by truck drivers who catcalled "Hey, Blondie" to Harry as they drove by
