I always found Humble Pie and Hot Tuna to be quite interesting band names, but I'll go with Henry Cow. ------------- Beauty will save the world.

Uhm... ACQUA FRAGILE Uhm... FRAGILE WATER (in English). All right that Bernardo Lanzetti is more American than Italian... But explained me what it means this name? A liquid one is able to break itself? -------------

I could mention "mincing fury and guttural clamour of queer decay" but that's grindcore and hardly progressive :D I like Einstuerzende Neubauten a lot, and their name translates to something like "demolishing new buildings". if you want classic prog then it clearly has to be MURPLE! ------------- FREEDOM OF SPEECH GO TO HELL |

Incredible Expanding Mindf**k Hectic Watermelon Both of which are very good bands. Also, Porcupine Tree was the weirdest name when I first heard it. |

Sieges Even - I haven't figured out what it's supposed to mean (never bothered, it just popped into my mind just now).
