I'm pretty clueless as to the current state of music, so can somebody explain to me why bands are all using animals in their names these days.

A far-from-complete list:

Metal Porpoise
Hot Snakes
Guitar Wolf
Mastodon
Manaconda
Whale
Wolf Eyes
Deer Hoof
Bear Suit
We vs. the Shark
Pelican
Cougars
The Reindeer Section

Do I need to change the name of my band to "Elephant Eye" or something?

hey, i'm in Elephant Crush. don't be hatin'!

let's just be glad the influx of number-based band names has dwindled:
Mathchbox 20
Sum 41
Maroon 5
7 Mary 3
Blink 182
3 days grace
3 doors down
etc....

I don't think it's as much of a phenomenon as you make it out to be, personally. I haven't even heard of half the bands you listed.

These things come in waves, really. I mean think of rock in the 70's/80's and all the "places/travelling" themed names - Chicago, Kansas, Alabama, Journey, Boston, Europe, etc.

You think they would give the duties of drumming to the frog and let the snake play the tamborine. Actually, on second thought, they should just kick the snake out...snakes are fuckin' assholes.

I've taken the liberty of arranging a timeline of place-themed names (I replaced Journey with America) based on the release of their first album.

Chicago-1969
America-1972
Kansas-1974
Boston-1976
Alabama-1980
Asia-1982
Europe-1983

Source: Allmusic.com

These were spread out over a period of 14 years, an average of one band every two years. I'm pretty sure that 6 new animal bands were born since I started this thread.
