Suicidal Tendencies meets Dead Kennedys: Best band names of the '80s
Paste Magazine has named the 100 best band names of all time. Of course, a portion of them are from the '80s. They're not ranked 1 to 100. Rather, they're grouped into certain categories, like "Brilliantly Generic" (The Band) or "Celebrity Tribute" (John Cougar Concentration Camp).
Here are some '80s-centric groups they picked. Though I think we could certainly name a few dozen more that belong there. (Echo and the Bunnymen? Oingo Boingo?) Click here to see their full list.
