What bands do you think have the best names ? (not the name of the best band)

Here are a couple from the '80's I liked:

Meat Puppets

The Germs

System of a Down--what does that mean, and how can the music be as fantastic as it is when the name is so confusing!

When I had a profile on Myspace, I had an email exchange with someone that went sorta like this....

Him - "Do you like Type O Negative?"

Me

- "What am I? A vampire?"

Him - "Well I don't know about the vampire thing, but I just think Type O Negative is the best."

Me

- "Umm, well being Type O negative myself, I guess I'll agree with you!"

Him - "LOL! Type O Negative is a band."

Me - "

A friend of mine was in a band called Free Beer but, for some odd reason, bars were reluctant to put their name on the sign outside the door. Anyway, here are some of my faves:

Domino and the High Tech Watusis (a Detroit bar band from the 80s)
Was (not was)
The Bobs
