Ladyfuzz
Throbbing Gristle
The Violent Femmes
The Butthole Surfers
The Velvet Underground
The Breeders
Touched by a Janitor
The meat puppets
Dead Kennedys
Sex Pistols
Drowning, Not Waving
Beastie Boys
Revolting cocks
Superchunk
The Darkness
The Hope Bombs

And my favorite names for back-up singers and bands: The Pips, The Scorchers, The Bad Seeds, The Homewreckers
