Wolves
Almost all still extant or active within this century. Lots of indie/noise/math/metal. Heavily eastern seaboard, with some northward bias.
And, yeah, I like many of these bands to greater or lesser degrees. That’s not the point.
Guitar Wolf!
BLK w/ Bear!

I can’t think of a worse name than “AIDS Wolf.” Though someone will probably cite something I want to know about even less.
Over at the Intellectual House o’ Pancakes, we were also discussing bad band names. I might also point out here the instantly forgotten early nineties act Whorgasm. What - is that a whore’s orgasm, an orgasm with a whore, what? And more importantly - so what?
ps: Peanut Butter Wolf
Fads come & go — remember all of the Super/Jesus band names of the ’90s? (Superchunk, Jesus Jones, Supergrass, the Jesus Lizard, etc.)
I agree with Amy, AIDS Wolf is a really, really bad name. The Dayglo Abortions might be worse, though.
The whole wolf thing doesn’t appeal to me much–not my aesthetic, I guess. It’s not a theme I’d choose for my band name if I had one, but apparently a lot of musicians out there disagree with me!
