Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band?
although i did find some band called Jesus H Christ and the Four Hornsmen Of The Apocalypse but i'm not sure they're actually famous!

[Reverandfunk]

There was actually a band called M who did "pop muzik" in about 1978

[Vanilla Face]

Hardly the longest now is it Reverandfunk ;o)

Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and The Trinity,

How about the longest single word band name?

I propose the Mexican deathgrind ensemble with the moniker...
Paracoccidioidomicosisproctitissarcomucosis

[Mattk]

how about a band with no name ?! that one damon albarn was in recently that released the good the bad and the queen?

[Aquariel]

I'm afraid you're all wrong!!

The longest band name in the world is "The Postmen".

How many letters? Thousands!!!

Such an old joke, but I'm recycling after watching Live Earth.
