My offering:

The Graceful Dead.

My wife's suggestion:

The Rolling Scones.

One more:

Crosby, Stills, Hash and Young.

[Zoonart]

1. The Beagles

[guillaumeb]

2. Not the Beagles!!

Great choice.

[ProudLib72]

5. Wait a minute. Is that from The Beatles or The Eagles?

Or is adding a letter not allowed?

[Zoonart]

7. Beatles...changed letter.

Don't know about adding letter, but good catch.

[guillaumeb]

25. That counts on both areas. Adding and changing. eom

[Ptah]

3. Hot Tina

[guillaumeb]

26. I love Hot Tina.

And Norma Kaukonnen's guitar playing.

[Ptah]

34. Was Grace Slice with them?

[guillaumeb]

36. Yes, And Marty Palin.

[Tikki]

4. The Tanking Heads.

What could we do with "The Slits"?

[Harker]

14. Slats? Slots?... n/t

[ProudLib72]

19. Starts with a "C"...

But the thing is, they named themselves after a vulgar term for "vaginas", so it kind of doesn't make much sense changing the name anyway.

[Harker]

15. So too The Moldy Blues... n/t

[The Polack MSgt]

61. With LEX Interior

And special guests - The Blasted

[Harker]

[First Speaker]

21. The Meatles--the famous anti-vegetarian band of the 1960s...

...formed, of course, in Liverpool. Honed their craft in Hamburg. Produced the great records Rubber Filet of Sole, the White Sauce Album, and Sergeant Pepper-and-Sausage's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Greatly influenced the fashions of Carnivore Street in London. My mouth waters just thinking of them...

[NotASurfer]

24. I understand that the New Pork Philharmonic does a concert every year

Starts with some of the early songs, like "I Wanna Hold Your Ham" and "Mirepoix, my Belle", goes on to cover the whole charcuterie of songs

[IndianaDave]

38. Piss? I kind of hate to do this to them, because I always enjoyed their music.

But it's just a game, right?

[guillaumeb]

39. That name might appeal to Trump.

Or so the rumor suggests.

[IndianaDave]

41. Great comeback!

[missingthebigdog]

43. Horn.

Kalestorm
Fool
Hiss
Blank Label Society
Cheap Prick
Prance

[guillaumeb]

46. THANK YOU for the submissions.

[IndianaDave]

44. How about Tickleback? Sounds like more fun than the original.

[guillaumeb]

52. It does.

Does Tickleback play all of their songs in minor keys as well?

[jberryhill]

45. Judo's Priest

[guillaumeb]

47. Now that was clever.

[IndianaDave]

48. The Rolling Scones

[guillaumeb]

49. My wife did that one above.

Now if you had written:

The Rolling Stores, that would be different.

Or, the Branberries, if you like Irish bands,

[IndianaDave]

54. My apologies - I missed that, and Kudos to your wife!

[guillaumeb]

55. No problem.

Great minds thinking alike.

So do you like the Branberries?

[IndianaDave]

I love Brian Hays guitar work.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

88. Thank you

I have been a Queen fan for 44 years now.

You mean Brian May, PhD?

[guillaumeb]

89. Yes, but I was following the thread.

May was, and is, a very inspiring guitarist.

[Miles Archer]

56. Can't go wrong with Punk Floyd.

[guillaumeb]

Stylin' drunk Irish band.

Mumford & Sins.

Fussy Riot.

[guillaumeb]

60. The Cranberries are my favorite recent Irish band.

Great submission.

Fussy Riot. Putin loves them.

[LisaM]

63. I love the Cranberries, too.

Fussy Riot just popped into my head.

Just think of U2 - A2, B2, C2........U1, U3, U4.....

[guillaumeb]

64. Sorry, I meant to write the Branberries.

Good for breakfast and lowers cholesterol.

[LisaM]

66. The Crawberries.

Half fish, half fruit.

People at DU are very clever.

[IndianaDave]

70. I definitely agree with that. I'm always impressed with the creative energy I find on DU.

[guillaumeb]

71. My edited addition to the post:

Crosby, Stills, Hash and Young.

[IndianaDave]

72. Like most of the responses, this made me chuckle. It's good to get away from

all of our serious concerns for a while. I'm glad you started this thread. Thanks! - Dave

[guillaumeb]

75. Agreed. You are welcome.

[Docreed2003]

73. The Doodie Brothers

[guillaumeb]

77. Nice.

[ProudLib72]

74. Ass Punt!

It's too bad so many punk band names are already horribly nasty. Changing a letter lessens their effect.

76. Yes, the change helped.

[Blues Heron]

78. Meat Loofa

[guillaumeb]

79. One would need a big tub for that loofa.

[guillaumeb]

83. Liquid Pension Experiment?

I like the last 3, but I am unfamiliar with the first.

[better]

99. Liquid Tension Experiment...

[OriginalGeek]
