Hello! Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday (hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl). Every week, we talk about a new topic. Tuesday is our day to gush over books, and you’re welcome to join in! Today we’re talking about Book Titles that Would Make Good Band Names. There are so many books that would make good band names! Simon Lewis from The Mortal Instruments came up with some REALLY horrible band names, until he finally decided to call his band The Mortal Instruments. That one stuck. But let’s see some more! I decided to go mostly with books I read in 2018, just so I can talk about some different books than I normally do.
Maybe some of these titles already are band names? I don’t know. If they are, it’s entirely coincidental.
I just finished reading Veronica Roth’s Chosen Ones, and that’s the first book that came to mind. That’s why it’s here. I love it as a title.
There was Ace of Bass, so why couldn’t there be a band called Ace of Shades? I was sad to learn, years later, that one of Ace of Bass’s band members was a former skinhead. š Let’s hope the band members of Ace of Shades are not that way. Maybe we can have the characters form a band with this title.
I could definitely see War Storm as a heavy metal band. It might not be my cup of tea music wise, but as a band name, it’s definitely catchy.
Frequency actually is a very music-driven book, so it’s not surprising to me that it seems like a good band name. Maybe the main character starts a band called Frequency after the book ends.
The Midnight Star would probably be a pop band with huge stage shows and flashy pyrotechics. At least that’s how I’d imagine the band to be.
I see Fangirl as the female equivalent of a boy band. A group of teenage girls singing pop songs about cute boys and crushes and things like that.
Addicted to Outrage would be another heavy metal band, I think. I don’t think the lead singer could audition for the role of Colonel Sanders though. I imagine the band members to be in their 20s with mohawks and a very gritty sound.
I think Fawkes would be a band whose brand would be wearing those Guy Fawkes masks on stage. They could get the audience to chant “Remember! Remember! The 5th of November!” as something of a catch phrase.
I actually still have to read Starfish (bad me!) but I think this would be a really cool band name. I think this would be a pop band with catchy tunes and the occasional ballad or mellow song you could chill out to.
A Reaper at the Gates would probably be another good metal band. It makes me think of death and anger. I probably wouldn’t be too fond of their music, but the band name is pretty cool. Maybe they could wear masks too.
So there’s ten! This was a fairly unique topic this week! What books did you decide to immortalize today as band names?
Next week we’re supposed to do Books I Wish I had Read as a Child. I’m not sure if I’m going to do that one, because I can’t really think of anything. But I do have an idea that twists the topic, and I think I’ll go with that. See you then and you’ll see what I come up with!
Lovely list! Starfish would make such a nice name!

I think I’d want to listen to them!
oooh you have some good names on here! I like the idea of a band called ‘Fawkes’! And I can definitely see ‘The Midnight Star’ being a great pop group!

Ooh Ace of Shades is a great band name-actually I think all the books in that trilogy would make pretty good band names!

You’re right!
Those are some really great choices! Fawkes sounds perfect, and I definitely got a laugh when thinking of the band names Simon tried out. š¤£
Simon and his band names was so funny. Thinking about it makes me want to read the series again, but that’s a big commitment and I just reread it last year.
Frequency sounds like a great band name! I love that the book actually has music in it, too.
I loved the book, primarily because of its focus on music.
Fangirl would be such a great band name.
My TTT.

It just seems so cute and sweet and light!
Chosen Ones would be a great band name! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
In an alternate universe, I could definitely see the Chosen Ones playing in Chosen Ones too, LOL.
I love Chosen Ones and Fawkes! They’d be very cool.

I wonder if Anonymous started a band, would they call it Fawkes?
I forgot about Simon and his many band names! Ha! Have you ever seen Parks and Recreation? Reminds me of Andy and his changing band names, too. I had no idea one of the members of Ace of Base was a skinhead. Yikes!
Love your choices! I thought about Fangirl, too. Definitely a pop girl group. š

I haven’t seen Parks and Recreation; I don’t watch a lot of TV. But if Simon was still looking for band names, he’d have a lot of choices this week! All he’d have to do is visit all the Top Ten Tuesday posts and I’d think he’d find one that would stick!
I really like Ace of Shades. I don’t know why. It just sounds cool!
I would definitely want to know more about a band called Starfish. Also, yes, you should read that one.
Using a Glenn Beck for a band title. Ha! Better be a red-neck group.
Well, he’s certainly not going to be IN the band…
I like Starfish a lot. The Midnight Star and fangirl are fun as well. š

I’d listen to A Reaper at the Gates. š
Yes to Addicted to Outrage!

Great choices, I definitely see all of these working as band names.
