Favourite/best band names

[Carrick Dave]

We all remember certain band names that strike a personal chord for their cleverness, bawdiness, obscurity, whatever.

Mine are mostly local to Northern Ireland but offer a starter for 10.

Horslips
Arms of Venus de Milo
Tyrone Shoelaces
Tiberius Minnows - recently resurfaced - classical reference, trust me you don’t want to know

One other of dubious provenance - Matt Vinyl and the Decorators.
