The Revoltons (they were a Euro-power metal band but the name sounds like a punk band)
Edguy
Spock's Beard
Mago De Oz (cool sounding until you translate it "The Wizard Of Oz")
MullMuzzler
Strapping Young Lad

Thin Lizzy is a great band name. A variation on Tin Lizzy as seen below...

I actually think U2 is a good name, we just don't remember what it means.

Wasn't it the name of a spy plane that was shot down over Russia?

They stilll fly those babies too (as Ripley would say "believe it or not")

An AFB by my old stomping grounds in No. Calif had a squadron. One of those planes that look really awkward on the ground. Which of course is not their natural element.

I remember reading about Francis Gary Powers in school back in the 70's

Awesome band; horrible name. Perfect for this thread.

Good call!

This may be the ultimate example.

Did anyone mention Jag Panzer?

I think that's a cool name. It's a mispelling of a German tank called Jagdpanzer which translates into 'hunting tank'. What better name for a metal band than a giant piece of destructive metal.

That's cool to know, but......

I always thought it sounded goofy!

I kinda always dug the name Crumbsuckers (and Lawnmower Deth too). Just felt it fit what they were going for.

I used to think Helloween was kind of a goofy name but then just got used to and now think it is actually a pretty great name for a band. Probably a lot of band names I've just gotten used to and don't even give them a second thought anymore.

How about Diving For Pearls?

I avoided this band for a looooong because of their name, that "Love Is On The Way" song and(at the time) they were opening for Firehouse.

Then I heard the song "One Step Closer". Now I dig 'em and have the first three albums.

I like the name Alabama Thunderpussy!(and Voivod and The Crumbsuckers)

My favorite goofy band name isn't metal at all but it is an awesome name and that's Hillbilly Moon Explosion
