TTT: Titles That Would Make Good Band Names

Top Ten Tuesday: Titles That Would Make Good Band Names

A rather frivolous and funny  topic. Just about any title could be used by bands for the names of their groups. I live near a freeway sign which was used as the name of fairly famous rock band, Sleater-Kinney. So I know that anything can used as a band title.

1. Daisy Jones and the Six (Reid)---Ha ha. This is cheating since it is the title of rock band in a book.

2. True Grit (Portis)---Doesn't this have a nice ring for a country group?

3. Ready, Player One (Cline)--- A play on the word player. Fun idea.

4. Manhattan Beach (Egan)---Maybe a funky name for a jazz group out of New York.

5. Pachinko (Lee)---Take a Korean/Japanese game and name a K-Pop group after it.

6. Brazen (Bagieu)---How about this for a title of a kick-ass female rock group?

7. Artemis (Weir)---How about this title for a techno group?

8. Force of Nature (Harper)---Sounds like the title of some strong group, maybe a hair rock band.

9. The Great Alone (Hannah)---Would be a great title for a band out of Alaska since it comes from a poem by Robert Service about that state.

    Great choices! I always wonder how bands choose their names, sometime they seem so random.

    Pachinko as K-pop is a good choice! I love the creativity this week.

    I have always told my daughter she should have an emo band called Death Nell. I will be looking at book titles in a new light. Personally, I would call my rock band Potemkin Village.

    Good band names are poetry. How about Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance?

    I veered off the path this week, and made a list of great books to read for the fiftieth anniversary of Earth Day tomorrow.

    I like your choices, and the band descriptions you give for them. Ready Player One works really well, and Force of Nature totally sounds like a big '70s rock band. Great list!

    Here's my TTT.

    Listing Daisy Jones is only kind o cheating ;)

    Honestly, for the longest time I thought Ready Player One WAS a band, the way people talk about it online.

    Love Brazen and The Great Alone. And I chuckle whenever I pass the Sleater-Kinney exit.
