My offering:
The Graceful Dead.
My wife's suggestion:
The Rolling Scones.
One more:
Crosby, Stills, Hash and Young.

What could we do with "The Slits"?
Harker
(14,019 posts)ProudLib72
(17,984 posts)But the thing is, they named themselves after a vulgar term for "vaginas", so it kind of doesn't make much sense changing the name anyway.

(4,858 posts)...formed, of course, in Liverpool. Honed their craft in Hamburg. Produced the great records Rubber Filet of Sole, the White Sauce Album, and Sergeant Pepper-and-Sausage's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Greatly influenced the fashions of Carnivore Street in London. My mouth waters just thinking of them...

(17,984 posts)It's too bad so many punk band names are already horribly nasty. Changing a letter lessens their effect.
