Prog band's have the coolest names... but it's not that easy to come up with a good one, I suppose.
If you have to come up with a name for a prog band what would it be? -------------

Yes, there's a German thrash metal band by that name, formed back in the eighties. They have some member connections with Sieges Even.

Yes, something like "Eleven Shades of Fibonacci" would sound pretty cool (basically because it would be totally meaningless)... But it would have to be a post rock band, and the first album would have to be entitled "Postmodern Algebra for Chamber Rock Ensemble and Choir".
