    Boy there are lots of them because most bands never make it to the point of being recognized by their names... but here is one that always comes to mind

    Never heard of that one!  I always liked "Bright Morning Star."  And "Booker T. and the M.G.'s"

    The Tubes

    Mott The Hoople

    Gov't Mule

    Nine Inch Nails

    Suicidal Tendencies

    The Beatles

     

    I picked these because I've listened to every single one. Sometimes not by choice.

     

    Before you freak about The Beatles, know they're my favorite band. I think they're the greatest Rock band of all time. But the name...  The Beatles with a pun on "beat." It's... not good.

    Back in the day, I would have said maybe Buffalo Springfield, Jefferson Airplane, or Pink Floyd. But they don't seem crazy at all compared to the ones we see nowadays!

     

    Thin Lizzy

    Smashing Pumpkins

    Blue Oyster Cult

    Stone Temple Pilots

    Hootie and the Blowfish

    Thin Lizzy, Lynerd Skynerd, XTC, Tony! Toni! Tone’!, The art of noise, A tribe called Quest, The Velvet Underground, Sex Pistols, Iron Maiden, Devo, Dead Kennedys.

     

     FYI the Beatles came up with their name based on their love for Buddy Holly& the Crickets. They wanted an insect name along the line of Crickets and settled on The Beetles, eventually changing it to the Beatles. I think they made out alright with it!
