Top 10 Best Bands with Colorful Names
The world of music is bursting with creativity, not just in terms of lyrics, melody, and rhythm, but also when it comes to the names musicians choose for their bands. These colorful names often go beyond being just a catchy moniker. They reflect the band's identity, their musical style, their ethos, and sometimes, they're just for the fun of it. From the psychedelic rock of Pink Floyd to the bluesy undertones of Deep Purple, the bold energy of Black Sabbath to the alternative vibes of The White Stripes, bands with color in their names span genres and generations, leaving their vibrant hues on the canvas of music history.The greatest band England has ever created, journeying through and incorporating the many styles and genres of blues, classical, pop, rock, and prog, they rightly sit at the top of the list. With multi-million-selling albums and multi-million fans worldwide, how can they not be at the top? It's reputed every home in Britain has a Pink Floyd album in it ('And quite rightly so'), mine thankfully has a vast amount of their official and unofficial album releases. They have touched on many aspects of man's and the world's hopes and fears, 'War, alienation, greed, love,' and not just in the Dark Side of the Moon album but in albums before and after this milestone. This album was a 'Benchmark' for all those around (And also to follow) to try and emulate and better. Many tried and succeeded, many others fell short, but in doing so, it enriches us all. So I say, 'Shine on you crazy diamonds,' 'Let there be more light' on an 'Interstellar overdrive,' and let's 'Set the controls for the heart of the Sun' because it's a trip I'll continue taking and making with you as long as you keep on producing albums of this caliber.
The band's members are Anthony Kiedis (Vocals), Michael "Flea" Balzary (Bass), Chad Smith (Drums) and numerous guitarists, most well-known being John Frusciante.

I Love The Chili Peppers... They have the most original music ever... They are awesomely crazy!
Green Day shouldn't be before a legend of metal, but what's wrong with you people? Black Eyed Peas before BLACK SABBATH? It's clear that the people who voted for those suckers don't know what music is!
Green Day is amazing on its own, and it just happens to have a color in the name. As a bonus.
I love the name "Green Day". It just says something, and their songs are great.
Their early, older grungy stuff is great, but their recent music is crap.
The best band ever with the best colorful name.
Purple is the color most often associated with royalty, magic, mystery, and piety.
Imperial color, worn by the rulers of the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, and later by Roman magistrates and Roman Catholic bishops.
The name of the key band member is also with a color - Ritchie Blackmore, aka The Man In Black.
They also have many songs with colorful names: Black Night, Black & White, Rat Rat Blue. And albums - Deep Purple in Rock, The House of Blue Light, Shades of Deep Purple.
A band can't get more epic and colorful than that.
You know a band is too low on this list when The Black Eyed Peas are above them.
Uh... Honestly now, I don't think anyone can surpass this band's greatness...
One of the best Psychedelic Rock bands!
How is the band who made everyone's favorite stadium chant, Seven Nation Army, below a band who makes annoying hip-hop beats with speech and calling it music? This is almost as bad as saying Lil' Wayne is a good guitarist.
Listened to "Here I Go Again"! 4 times on the trot yesterday! Say no more?
Maroon 5 is better than Green Day (IN MY OPINION). They have more #1 Billboard songs, better songs (I'm sorry to all the fans of Green Day), etc.
Maroon 5 rock! Green Day is overrated. They should be last. Or not on the list at all...
The band has often been compared to The White Stripes as they are also an indie rock duo, that works with low fidelity equipment... read more
The Black Keys know how to form a good sound and keep it. Plus, their band name is legit. 'The Black Keys,' and most of their songs are in a minor key, meaning they use more of the black keys. Makes sense, right? Awesome band! Put them in the top ten!
