I think the best band names are the ones that really accent the tone of the band itself. I also like when it's embarrassingly simple that you kick yourself for not thinking of it first.
Lightning Bolt comes to mind, that name captures the band's tone perfectly and has just a good sound to it.
I have/had/will have again a band called Meat Maggot. Sometimes people will call it Maggot Meat, which is an equally acceptable name. We have only one song, it's never been recorded, never will be recorded, will never have a name. And we'll probably play once every three years. I think that's a pretty good band name.
