Great Backing Band Names

Cliff had his Shadows, Bob was joined by a bunch of Wailers and Siouxsie came with her Banshees! Who are the great backing bands with equally great names.

So who were the greatest backing bands, from The Wailers to the Commodores, we鈥檝e had Bad Seeds and Banshees, Modern Lovers and Blockheads and someone just got fed up at the ideas session and said let鈥檚 just call them The Band.
