I decided to add what genre of music I think these imaginary bands would play, too!
Genre of Music: Happy Hardcore
Genre of Music: Caribbean. But I think I’d tweak their name to be “The Go-Betweens.”
3. Daddy Cool
Genre of Music: Jazz
Genre of Music: Modernized folk music from around the globe performed by a diverse group of musicians from those cultures. Their band name would be a misnomer for sure.
5. Lullabies for Little Criminals
Genre of Music: Rock
Genre of Music: Annoying but also strangely catchy tunes for young children. This band reserves the right to borrow from any other genre with no advanced notice.
7. Mystic River
Genre of Music: Country
Genre of Music: Pop
Genre of Music: Classical
Genre of Music: An R&B girl group. I choose to believe that Blue Ivy Carter would be one of their members, but I’ll leave it up to the rest of you to pick the others. 😉
I picked the Thorn Birds too, Men without Art? Would they come out dressed like cave men? or maybe Wall Street business men?
Ooh, that’s a good question! What do you think would be best?
Great list! Midnight’s Children would be such a good band name, and so would Man-Eating Vegetables.
Thank you!
Great picks, Lydia! Daddy Cool absolutely sounds like a jazz band. 🙂
Thanks. Glad you agreed there.
Great choices! Midnight’s Children is a good one!
Thank you!
This is certainly a fun prompt. It seems like almost any good title of a book, especially a poetic one, would make a good band title. Even if you just stuck with classics…Grapes of Wrath…Secret Garden…Things Fall Apart…Sound and the Fury….
Yes, for sure!
I would definitely buy an album from a band called ‘man-eating vegetables’! and I love the name ‘lullabies for little criminals’! This is a cool list:)
My TTT: https://moonlitbooks.home.blog/2020/04/21/tttbandnames/
Heh, thank you.
My college roommate tried to get me to read The Thornbirds FOR YEARS but I just never got around to it. Would definitely be a good band name!!
Heh, I haven’t read it either. But agreed.
I like the sound of Mystic River and The Thorn Birds as band names!
Thank you. 🙂
My favourite is Lullabies for Little Criminals! I think it’s one of my favourites from all the many lists. 🙂
My TTT
Heh, thanks!
Blinded by the Sun sounds like a great one!!
Thank you.
Great choices! Man-Eating Vegetables made me laugh. 🙂
Heh, thanks!
Daddy Cool would definitely make a great jazz band name. I also like Mystic River a lot. Fun list. 🙂
Thank you very much.
These are all good, but I really like The Go-Betweens, Men Without Art, and Midnight’s Children.
Aww, thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
What a great list! I would definitely listen to Man-eating Vegetables! 😀
Heh, thanks!
These are all so good! I never released before this topic how many book titles would make awesome band names ♡
Yeah, I didn’t realize that either. It was a very unique and fun topic for sure.
Daddy Cool sounds like such a perfect jazz name! Great list, and thanks for checking out my blog :).
You’re quite welcome. Glad you liked the idea of Daddy Cool.
Oooh I like Midnight’s Children! I also like Twelfth Night! I can so picture that as classical music! 🙂

Aww, thanks. Glad to hear that.
Daddy Cool definitely has a jazz vibe to it.
Heh, thank you.
The Go-Between would be an awesome band!
Totally agreed there.
Great post, love Lullabies for Little Criminals as a name
Thank you very much. I’m glad you liked that name.
I would totally listen to a band named Daddy Cool!
It would be awesome for sure!
Lullabies for Little Criminals is an awesome pick! Agree on the genre too 😀
Heh, thank you!
OMG, Man-Eating Vegetables is the perfect band name for the next group playing annoying-but-catchy kids’ songs! I can see it being a combination of parody songs and edutainment, but 100% ear worms.
Heh, thank you. And, yes, that’s totally what their songs would be like.
Midnight’s Children is a brilliant band name! Love that you also added the genre of music for each of these! 🙂
Aww, thanks. I’m glad you liked my post.
I super love the name Lullabies for Little Criminals.
Yay! That’s awesome.
I would totally listen to Midnight’s Children 🙂
So glad to hear that. Ditto.
Wonderful list. I think my favorite is Mystic River!
Thanks. Glad you liked them.
Man-Eating Vegetables- love that one. 🙂 I like The Go- Betweens as well- makes me think of some cool steel drum music!
Heh, thank you. And the Go-Betweens would definitely have steel drum music.
Man-Eating Vegetables could also be a rock band 🤣 Great list!
Absolutely! And thanks.
Love the way you organized the titles by music genre.
Thank you very much.
Haha, I saw “Daddy Cool” and “jazz” and my brain was like “oh neat, I wonder what kind of jazz music he plays” before I remembered this was, in fact, NOT a list of real musicians you matched with books. So I’d have to say you nailed that one especially well!
That’s awesome. If only we could really see Daddy Cool in action and figure out what kind of jazz it is.
Man-Eating Vegetables made me laugh out loud! Great, unique choices! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
See my post here!
Yay! I’m glad you liked it so much. And you’re welcome.
Mystic River is my favorite! Great job.
Thank you very much.
Man Eating Vegetables, I love it. Great list.
So glad to hear that.
Great list! I would totally listen to these bands! 🙂
Thank you!
Great list!
Thank you!
Lullabies for Little Criminals is a perfect pick!
So glad you think so.
Lullabies for Little Criminals – love that!
Thank you!
Those sound too real!! I am inordinately fond of Man-Eating Vegetables… 😀
Ha, glad to hear it!
I love that you noted the sort of music the band would play, too! Daddy Cool would make a fabulous jazz band name! Lullabies for Little Criminals is great, too! Your list is fantastic.
Thank you very much. I’m glad you liked my picks.
Lullabies for Little Criminals is a great book, and it makes a great name for a rock band!
Thank you!
Love that you’ve included the genres as well, Lydia! I can definitely see all of these being real bands (surprised they aren’t, some of these names are so awesome)! Daddy Cool, Mystic River, Midnight’s Children are my favourites. Such great choices 😍
Aww, thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I like that you included the genres. It really helps get a feel of your inspiration behind choosing that book title. 🙂
Thank you very much!
Man Eating Vegetables – I don’t know if I see them more as that one or two hit wonder with the really annoying summer song that plays on endless repeat in your head 😂.
Men without Art sounds like a real 80’s group!
Heh, I hear you there. And Men Without Art would be a fantastic 80s group, too.
Oh you’ve got fab picks here – I love the Man-Eating Vegetables and Lullabies for Little Criminals!
Thank you very much!
Great choices! Love the sound of The Go Between and Mystic River.
Thank you very much.
I completely agree about Man Eating Vegetables — it has kids’ music written all over it! I admit, Daddy Cool is … very cool sounding!
So glad you liked those.
Fantastic Band names. Daddy Cool used to be a song in the seventies, ever heard it?
From your list, I’ve read The Thorn Birds and Midnight’s Children, both great ideas for a band name. I love how you added the genre you think they might represent.
I had no idea Daddy Cool was once a song. That’s so neat! And thank you.
Love that you added genres to this – such a good idea!
Thanks a lot!
Man-Eating-Vegetables would be a really fun name. I would listen to them.
Glad to hear it.
I love all of these!
Thank you very much.
These are all great. Could totally picture them as band names. Man Eating Vegetables gave me a good laugh too. Made me think of the Wiggles.
So glad you liked them! Yeah, I was thinking of the Wiggles, too.
I’d definitely listen to Midnight’s Children!
🙂
Man-Eating Vegetables has me intrigued. I love your description for them!
Heh, thanks! There was a similar sort of children’s band that visited Toronto a few years ago for one of our festivals. It was interesting.
I love your picks! Men without Art, Midnight’s Children, Daddy Cool, all of them sound perfect! Sorry for commenting so late, to make up I’ll comment on your recent posts as well!
