The band names We are aiming for are Rock.
Going on upyerkilt's idea, how about "We are aiming for Rock"?

He covered their song Hurt.
Here's an idea-Giant Killer Duckbilled Palatapuses of Death. The name really depends on what kind music you play.
Edit: I thought of another one, Cero Dinero. Sounds cool, and is spanish for "no money".
Some people may like that minimalist look, but I personally think they are pretty ugly guitars. One single coil? I like versatility-my Danelectro has 3 lipstick single coils with 7-way switching. I would probably never buy a Junior or a Melody Maker-why not spend another 100 or 200 for a Faded SG? Actually, the Junior is more expensive thatn an LP or SG standard. Unless you're a Green Day freak, I don't see why you'd want one.
I know these are cheapies, but for the money are they worth it? I might pick up one of the metal pedals. For 15 or 20 bucks, what's to lose?
I don't have any experience with a Melody Maker, but I know that Gibson still makes the Junior-they have several LP Juniors, one is a Billy Joe Armstrong (Green Day) signature. They also have an SG Junior.
Well, I'll be busy for a while. . .right now I'm working on 3 songs. Song for George, Classical Gas, and Black Mountainside. I'll have to check this one out soon.
On my acoustic I love to play Layla (acoustic), on the electric, I really have a lot of fun busting out some power chords on Lonely is the Night.
Wow. . .Black Mountainside is a cool song, but it's probably the toughest one I've learned yet. Maybe I'll try to learn the "White Summer" part of the song too.
Well guys, thanks for the suggestions. I'm curretntly working on Classical Gas and I've looked at Black Mountainside-I didn't have it in me to learn the latter today though. When I get my electric in a few days I'll be giving the old acoustic a rest for a while anyway-got to work on some Eric Johnson. Again, thanks!

That was one of the first acoustic "solos" I learned, great song!

There's loads of Mason Williams songs you could do, like his version of Greensleeves, Flamenco Lingo...
And I know this is off topic and irrelevant, but my Great Uncle is good friends with him, and owns one of his pianos 
If I would have tried to learn this song last year, it probably would have taken me 7 months. However, I've been practicing my finger playing lately, so this one wasn't too difficult to learn.
So we can both play it fairly well?
I can feel a guitar battle based around classical gas coming on
LOL. . .you can really rock out to that song!
Octopus's Garden
Pinball Wizard
I am the Walrus

Thanks for the recommendation-great song, and really fun to play. Just printed it off this morning, and I can play about half of it without pause (I need the music, though, memorization comes with repetition). Clapton (even though this isn't his song) is in my opinion the world's best acoustic guitarist. He also is one the greatest electric blues guitarists ever, though I like his unplugged songs better. Again, thanks for recommending the song!
My Danelectro has a purple/blue metallic finish, although I prefer natural wood-like finishes-I think most guitar players would agree. You know, I don't think that purple is the most popular color for anything. . .

Can't play riffs? I bet you could play Smoke on the Water. I'll write out the main riff (the easiest way to play it):

Clapton's (with Cream) Sunshine of Your Love is a pretty cool riff. Easy riffs, hmm. . .I'll rattle off a few of my other favorties. Round n Round by Ratt, Bang Your Head (Metal Health) by Quiet Riot, Lonely is the Night by Billy Squier, Back in Black by AC/DC, and Righteous by Eric Johnson. Speaking of Eric Johnson, try Cliffs of Dover-the three solos and some of the high-speed runs are a bit ridiculous, but the main riffs are fairly easy. If you noticed, most of these are off of Guitar Hero, that's where I learned a lot of the songs I play. Some really cool acoustic guitar riffs are the intro to Jessica by the Allman Brothers (the electric part is really cool and easy too), and Pinball Wizard by The Who (the strumming is a bit tough on this one). Good luck!
Edit: By the way, music for every one of these songs can be found here on Chordie.
If your into strumming, try some Johnny Cash songs.
Are these instrumental songs?
Anyone have any recommendations for a good acoustic guitar solo I can learn? I don't really sing, so I play a lot of songs as solos (songs like Layla, Tears in Heaven, Staiway to Heaven, and Here Comes the Sun make good solos if you cut out the words). I know a few acoustic solos, two of my favorties being Clapton's Signe and Eric Johnson's Song for George. Any songs you have to recommend would be appreciated. Thanks

I have heard only one person playing this really good apart from Clapton himself. And sitting in a room with someone playing this song note for note is just a wonderful exprerience to the ear hole.
so I nominate "Tears in Heaven"
but if that is too hard then the Who's " behind blue eyes."
If you can get a copy of Pete Townshend playing it solo it is marvelous, also easy to play as I can play it.
ken
The problem is that it has two guitars 
I could play it no problem im just not sure about playing another two guitar song.
Behind Blue eyes would probley get boring for the listener for a while with no singing.
Thanks anyways tough,im going to look closer at tears in heaven to see if theres a way to play it using both parts at times were they seem influencual to the song
I play Tears in Heaven by myself, I just add in the other guitar's fills when Clapton is playing chords, and the solo when Clapton is playing chords. If you are decent at finger picking, I'd recommend Eric Johnson's Song for George-very blusey, fun to play, easy to listen to, and it's only like a minute and a half long. That one is in a strange tuning, I'm not sure what it's called, but it's DADGAd (low to high). One other one I like to play is Clapton's Layla acoustic, though I don't sing so I go from the intro into the solo, and it makes a good minute-and-a-half to two-minute song all by itself without the chorus. The solo is cool and fairly easy to play (by the way, Clapton and Johnson are in my humble opinion the best guitar players the world has ever seen). Good luck!
