16. Peanut Butter Jam & The Whitebread Odyssey.
They only do songs that The Archies would have rejected.

Imagine this album except the participants are all thrash metal bands.

24. Choco Frosted Sugar Napalm! (alternate and recommended spelling: Choco! Frosted! Sugar! Napalm!)
Imagine the band above but it's ska instead. No one can have this name unless they absolutely destroy the theme song to "Gigantor." I'm just saying. And yes, it's a spin on the Calvin & Hobbes cereal.

25. existentianihlism.
From our notes: "It has to be a lower case E. It's one of those bands."

It Begins Here: 700 Bands

For a long while, Ken and I have had a dream. And that dream involved world conquest, Miracle Whip and an albino gazelle. Sadly, that dream has not yet been realized.

Another dream hatched around the same time was to launch a list of 700 band names, much in the same vein as John Hodgman's definitive list of 700 hobo names. While ours could not hope to have the historical and sociological significance of Prof. Hodgman's, it might, we reasoned, help out some band struggling to name themselves.
