Even more confusing is the fact that there have been two bands named Them.

I'm honestly kind of disappointed.

Yeah I think "And Them" would have been a snazzier name than just "Them."

Maybe someone could start up a band called "And Then."

There are some great visual kei band names that make no sense:

Zi:Kill
9Goats Black Out
Siam Shade
Blam Honey
Core the Child
Exist Trace
Guniw Tools
Inugami Circus-dan
Kagrra, (don't forget the comma)
Moi dix Mois

And K-pop idol groups:

SUPER JUNIOR
SISTAR
TEEN TOP
Bebe Mignon
Led Apple
Piggy Dolls
She'z
CRAYON POP
Orange Caramel
Joy o'clock
SHINee
f(x)

Yes, there are some great names in your list, misspoptart - I think 9Goats Black Out is my favourite. I´d also like Death Cab For Cutie , which incensed Batlord in his OP, but for the fact that they took the band name from a track by Bonzo Dog, so that name is actually confusing - and unoriginal.

Also confusing would be to name your band Whippersnapper, when there are already at least three bands using the name:-

USA, 1998:-

Australia, 1989:-

England 1987:-

Another band that is difficult to search for: dalek.

Doctor Who can suck my dick, gimme some noise.

^ Noise?
