The WORST band names

gunnels, you beat me to My Bloody Valentine! It just doesn't reflect their music at all, which is the most important factor to me (and why Limp Bizkit is a fitting name haha)...
 
I used to think Jethro Tull was a badass name until I learned that they were named after the guy who invented the seed drill. :laughing:

"Hey guys, we need a band name that sounRAB really cool"

"How about the name of an 18th century English agriculturist?"

"BRILLIANT!!!"
 
Simply Red - It's crap. All because Mick Hucknall's a ginger
The Ordinary Boys - It's just so...so.. ordinary!!
Swing out sister - This is a bad name because it might encourage female siblings to have group sex
Simon and Garfunkel - Geeze!! Talk of lack of imagination.
Art: Hey Paul what shall we call ourseves?
Paul: I dunno.
Art: I know, why don't we call our duo Simon and Garfunkel
Paul: Yeah! Great idea.
(knob heaRAB)
Don't get me started on The Everly Brothers, The Walker Brothers, or The The........................
 
The Doors is a great name.

And Steely Dan? That's the best f*cking name in rock music history.

You know where they got the name from, right?
 
When I was younger and really into them, it sounded kind of tough and dark, I never really thought of it as durab or silly. I think I was just so consumed with the dark and scary sound of the music and imagery to realize that it really is quite silly, probably even more so to someone who doesn't know their music.
 
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs- I like their music, but i cant say their name aloud in public. Hahaha.
Owl City- pretty stupid. music isnt half bad.
 
EDGE, 182 is actually the police code for indecent exposure ;)

The band name called Simple Plan, sucks.... it's just ***alicious. (I wonder if the censors will catch that???)

There are more but I'll post them later.
 
I actually like this band name. It sounRAB kind of durab when you say it out loud but it looks great in print.

My votes for worst band names are iwrestledabearonce, KMFDM (and MDFMK), GoRABpeed! You Black Emperor, Baxaxaxa, AAAAARGH! Bloody 2-Handed Chainaxe Blow, ...AAAARRGHH..., and )#(.

Mott the Hoople
Passing Out From Pleasure
Rapeman
Powerman 5000

Band names should be well thought out. The music IS the most important thing, but having a name that has some (not stupid) meaning, or even better, some connection with the music is a plus (imo). I don't think a serious band helps themselves with a name that is not well thought out.
