Drawing a blank? This list of number band names will help. You might be really surprised just how many musical groups include digits in their names.In terms of sheer popularity, there’s no doubt that The Jackson 5 are one of the most famous bands with digits in their names.

You might think that 10,000 Maniacs just pulled that number out for effect. In fact, the moniker comes from the low-budget horror movie Two Thousand Maniacs. In terms of lower digits, you’ve got lots of threes, fours and fives here, because that’s a good number of people for a band: 3 Doors Down, Three Days Grace, Three Dog Night, The Four Seasons, Four Tops, Maroon 5, Ben Folds Five, and many more.It's time to count down, or up, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-rock-bands-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the best bands</a> named after a number – so be sure to vote for all of your top choices!

The Best Bands with Numbers in Their Names

The 50+ Best Bands with Numbers in Their Names, Ranked

When looking at rock history, one cannot sidestep the profound influence of post-grunge bands on music. This genre, born from the earlier grunge movement, retains the hard-rocking, often brooding qualities that define its predecessor. But post-grunge bands have spearheaded a unique sound characterized by heavy riffs, introspective lyrics, and a defiant attitude that resonate with fans. From the echoing cries of distorted guitars to the poetic narratives stitched into every song, they've become defining soundtracks of their era.&nbsp;Considering the most famous post-grunge bands, nobody can deny how they've shaped the music landscape. Their sound has been crafted with fervor, capturing the collective pulse of the mainstream while leaving indelible impressions on the post-grunge scene. Stripping down music to its raw elements, these post-grunge bands managed to create a mixture of memorable music, distinguishing them as some of the greatest post-grunge bands ever. They've provided us with countless anthems, their discography reflecting diverse influences while remaining true to their auditory identity.&nbsp;Groups such as the Foo Fighters, Three Days Grace, and Audioslave, for example, have left deep imprints on the musical terrain. Foo Fighters, fronted by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, have transitioned seamlessly from the grunge era, delivering hit after hit and earning numerous accolades. Three Days Grace, with their sensational melodies and introspective lyrics, have been nothing short of a revelation, rising to the zenith of popularity charts with post-grunge classics. Audioslave, a supergroup with members from Rage Against The Machine and Soundgarden, showcased a fusion of sounds that transcends the ordinary, amplifying their distinction among Post-Grunge artists. Each of these bands has a repertoire of achievements - chart-topping songs, platinum-selling albums, and a legion of ardent fans attesting to their supremacy in the domain of post-grunge music.&nbsp;In conclusion, the realm of post-grunge music is rich and expansive, thanks to the bands that have shaped the course of this genre. They've not only remained faithful to the gritty ethos of the original grunge movement but also altered it into something more accessible, yet deeply profound. From the Foo Fighters' monumental success to Audioslave's daring experimentation and Three Days Grace's enrapturing melodies, these post-grunge bands continue to impact rock history, setting benchmarks for others to follow, perpetuating their legacy as the best of their kind in this tempestuous genre.&nbsp;
