Noun / Adjective / Etc Word Lists or Dictionaries (Common Words)

Question

I am looking for dictionaries that are split up by parts of speech and are preferably more common words.

I am trying to generate random band names for fun.

I found a set of dictionaries HERE which was compiled from the MOBY Word Lists and the UK Advanced Cryptics Dictionary, however, when I generate random band names I get stuff like this:

bandName = "Nummulite Repercussions"
bandName = "Lemures DebasementsEarphones"

which is obviously dumb.

Any suggestions?

http://dictionary-thesaurus.com/wordlists.html has some decent short lists but they are hard to get in a usable form.

I've written a small yet sufficient and extensible PHP library for parsing the wiktionary.org categories. You can parse lists of nouns, adjectives, e.t.c. All you need to do is to select a desired category.

The repository has noun dictionaries in samples directory as an example of its work.
