Well, that's all I can think of, but I'm sure there's something else, way down inside me. (I can feel it coming back.) If you have any additions to this list (or if you happen to know a band with one of these names), feel free to e-mail me. Also, if you're thinking of using one of these for an actual band name, please clear it with me and/or the name's creator.

Oh, and for an added bonus, here are a few hypothetical song (and album) titles. (Not as many of these have come up in conversation.)

Also, just today, I thought it would be interesting for someone to write an ode to artificial food colouring. I don't know what I'd call it, though. Maybe just "Ode To Artificial Food Colouring." For all I know, there might already BE an ode to artificial food colouring, but you can't have too many odes to artificial food colouring. That's my motto.

Most of these names merely came up in conversation. A few of them, however, can be attributed to particular people:

{dbb} Davey-Bob Bennett
{sc} Shonket Chakrabarti
{md} Mindy Davidhizar

{bg} Bethany Getgen
{sg} Steve Getchell
{jg} Josh Gildea
{mj} Malia Jackson

And, incidentally, I have been told by someone named Robert Wesley that Sweet Sodomy, which used to be in the list of band names, is the name of a Marilyn Manson cover band. Next thing you know, I'll find out that Funky Psychosomatic really IS a rapper.

Jack Manuel informs me that he is the guitar player in a band called "Doppler" (similar to "The Doppler Effect," in the band name list), which he describes as "a rubbish grungey-rock band from Stoke-on-Trent, which is in the middle/north of England." He also states that the group is terrible, and is going to split up soon.

Anyway, you've probably wasted enough time here, so I would advise you to:
