Jonesy64 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 One of my favourite band names is a Pink Floyd tribute, Dark Side Of The Room! Dizzy Lizzy is another that used to do the rounds. The worst one I can think of is The Jamm. A lot of effort went into that one:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
