Good band names?

I always thought Massive Attack was a good name. Nice and big and straight to the point.

I have toyed with the idea of forming a twee indie band just so I can call them Pink Slip Ownership Papers, which I think is a great name for a twee indie band.

it's because of a myth (i think it's a myth?) that US buildings were built without a 13th floor cos it's unlucky
