Bands who'se names describe thier sound.

always liked bands that would have to holdup to the name.
the fabulous thunderbirds
as prev mentioned tower of power
cpt beefheart and his magic band
and my fav the amazing rhythm aces. what a challenge!! to be amazing, and aces of rhythm, ta boot.

this one doesnt describe their sound but rather their live performance...wet willie

Magma.

Iron Butterfly

The most annoying drum beat and song title of all time. In a godda whatever.

IMHO that is.

dead kennedys

Names which are the antithesis of their sound would be a good thread as well, like Nirvana? The Fabulous Thunderbirds? As for names consistent with sound, how about Southern Culture on the Skids? The Bangles? The Smiths? Ok, that last one is a reach.
