Band names whose words comprise a complete sentence
Socrates Drank The Conium
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead
Everything But The Girl
(thought this would be on page 1)
Not a band, more a statement.
and
The People with Chairs Up Their Noses
both full sentences cos they were both semi avant Australian bands.
(That is, if you were asking if Don't actual name was not really "was"...which, legally...it is)
(Fortunately, they never named themselves, "Wasn't Was?")
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - a sentence
The Hollywood Argyles - not a sentence
Texas Is The Reason - a sentence
Bob Wills And The Texas Playboys - not a sentence
I started making a list of all the suggestions that were not sentences, rather than respond individually, but I gave up after 30...

I have to stop reading this thread as I am getting more and more vexed at the sheer number of people posting band names that are phrases instead of sentences. It's incredibly simple:Frankie Goes To Hollywood - a sentence
The Hollywood Argyles - not a sentence
Texas Is The Reason - a sentence
Bob Wills And The Texas Playboys - not a sentence
