voodoo poodle

[1968Hoya46]

Nervous Norvus

[MarybethG691589]

John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band    how about The Hooters

[1968Hoya46]

Dicky Doo And The Dont’s.

Amboy Dukes

Blues Magoos

Blue Cheer

Bourgeois Tagg

Soft Cell

[1968Hoya46]

The Fantastic Baggys

[MaVolta]

Procol Harum

Out of curiosity, I googled to see where the name came from. Story goes that the band's manager named the group after a cat belonging to a famous English record producer. The cat's purebred name was Procul Harun. 

[BeatleloverKT]

ZZ Top, AC/DC, Traveling Wilburys, Electric Light Orchestra

[BeatleloverKT]

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!

[1968Hoya46]

Moby Grape

[MaVolta]

Iron Butterfly

[1968Hoya46]

Lothar And The Hand People

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

[Loulit]

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.
