    Which one of these sounds better:

    The Yolks
    Papa Smurf and the Ladies
    The Empire
    The Baboons


    Need an opinion because none of us can make up our minds.

    Thanks :cheers2:

    Band names aren't inherently good. Some may be more clever than others, but what really makes a good band name is how it relates to the music. So I couldn't choose any of those names without knowing what your band sounds like, so I can see which "feels" best to me.

    That being said, I would like to vote against The Baboons.

    What type of music do you play? Seems to me the name of the band should reflect the members and the music. I'd lose the baboons, thats just awful.

    No way. Then his music will always be stuck with that name.

    Think of bands like Nirvana, Korn, Nickelback, Slipknot, the beatles

    None of those names have shit to do with their music. You want your band name to be neutral so that it doesn't set boundaries on your music.

    Korn, Nickelback, and Slipknot are not good examples to use if you want to win an argument with me. Unless they're counter examples. ;)

    like naming a child you must anticipate the names your anti fans will use
    i.e.
    the yolks will become the jokes
    the baboons =the bagoons

    its why people dont name their kids mulva

    also need link to a tune from ya's

    I figured that you would say something like that, seeing as the talent, or in your opinion, the absence of talent of those bands really had nothing to do with what i was arguing (although nickelback is bloody terrible).
    You don't want your music to be restricted by a name. Regardless of what genre it is or how shitty or awesome people think it is.

    Maybe some bands do. Dying Fetus deliberately chose that name because they knew it would be impossible to ever go "commercial" with it.

    Ironically, they are one of the most popular death metal bands now.

    Anyway, names aren't really that important as far as the band's directions goes. Metallica's name never stopped them from releasing a hard rock album. Also I think that Nirvana and Slipknot both had names that went with their music. And Korn and Nickelback are just horrible names for a band.

  14. The video quality wasn't that great but yeah the music wasn't bad.I think the yokes is the best name because the other three don't suit you and I love the egg thing above. I'd better go and fill in the poll now.
