Worst band names ever...

[ghostsofgiants]

I recently found out about a band called Whole Wheat Bread. What a horrible name.

So what say you, people of the Lounge? What are the worst band names you've ever heard?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

1. Oasis ......

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[driver8]

5. Damn...you beat me to it!!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

8. I just thought I'd throw that one in.

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[KyndCulture]

29. Here's my choices...

The Killers
Taproot
Live (although they are my FAVORITE- name is suckitude!)


ANY band name that ends in a number...

Blink182
Eve6
Matchbox20

[ghostsofgiants]

32. I like the name The Killers

And the band too, for that matter. They got the name from a New Order video.

And at least the 6 at the end of Eve 6 isn't arbitrary. It's a reference to an episode of The X-Files.

"After seeing the episode "Eve", which featured genetically engineered characters known as "Eves," he got the name from the character called Eve #6 who made a remark about biting a guard's eyeball, which Fagenson thought merited "Eve 6" as a band name."

[Texasgal]

9. Forgot these guys

Accidental Goat Sodomy

They sucked live! :hi:

[Redstone]

10. Strawberry Alarm Clock.

Fever Tree.

Gid Tanner and His Skillet Lickers.

The Bucksnort Ginslingers. (And you have to give me credit for having the guts to post that one where everyone can see it, because it was the name of one of MY bands. And I was the one who came up with it. I guess I owe everyone an apology for that. Good thing we never got famous, or I'd never live it down.)

PS: That's not a typo. It was "Ginslingers," as in the booze, not "Gunslingers."

Redstone

[Texasgal]

11. HA! HA!

That got me thinking. My Dad was in a band called " Custers last BAND!"

:rofl:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

12. Did they ever put out a record that got notice? Just wondering.

[Texasgal]

13. nah...

He was in college...nothing big!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

14. It just sounded familiar.

[Texasgal]

15. Ever been around the Austin Music scene?

They were "known" in the late 60's. Just in clubs and such.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

16. No. Oh well ....

[philosophie_en_rose]

17. Harry and the Potters.

:eyes:

[ragin_acadian]

18. anal cunt

they suck just as much as their name.

[mainegreen]

20. Lawnmower Death (nt)

[Dave Reynolds]

21. Any of the bodily secretion names,

Snot, Saliva, etc....

I am surprised we are not hearing some band called "Tinted Jism" on the radio.

[Initech]

27. There's an industrial rock band called "Bile"

Ugh, they have to seriously be the shittiest band I have ever seen live. I saw them open for KMFDM. Ugh, they should take their name's advice. :puke:

[Doctor_J]

38. Does Butthole surfers count?

[Dave Reynolds]

39. No, I like them.

Anatomic features are okay, but something like "Poop Shooters" would be kinda iffy in my book.

25. Bloodrock

Their music sucked, too.

[Shredr]

26. i always hated BETTER THAN EZRA

I know there are people who love it. It just bugs me.

[Initech]

28. A crappy band name but makes good music - Of Montreal

They make up for it by having some awesome album titles - "Satanic Panic In The Attic", or "But Who Will Help Big Oil?".

[blackcatpgh]

30. any pseudo punk band that...

puts a number at the end of their name. christ, it's like a disease.

[ghostsofgiants]

31. You mean like Blink 182 and Sum 41?

Yeah, that's pretty lame.

[blackcatpgh]

35. yeah, that and...

the untold thousands of copycat idiots they've spawned. i've seen the disease spreading locally. blink182 and their ilk started it, but now it's out of hand.

which sounds better:

blink182

or

dead boys

give me the dead boys anyday..

[TroubleMan]

34. Backstreet Boys, Color Me Bad, 98 Degrees, N-Sync

Boys bands have bad names to go along with their bad songs.

[Merrick]

36. The Happy Mondays

as if such a thing existed... well, excluding holidays and the possibility that Bush careens off the side of a mountain on his bike on a Monday...

[LaraMN]

37. Hootie and the Blowfish.

Or maybe I'm just so tainted by my overwhelming dislike for them that I can't make an objective assessment.
