Television
The Gossip
Be Your Own Pet
LCD Soundsystem
The Pastels
Atari Teenage Riot
Public Enemy
U2
My Cat Is An Alien
Nirvana

Try as I might, I could not make up a band name that stupid.

No way. Those names are so rad.

But that's the guy's name, for god's sake! He can't help what his name is!
His surname is quite a mouthful for non-Greek types, so I think we should count ourselves lucky that he took the Cher/Madonna route.

Hey guys there is actually a band called Fuck. I think it's the worst name ever.

Ok ok, apologies. It doesn't beat Chatzinou for a surname, though. No offence intended to any Greek posters at all. My name is Vittorio, the worst Italian name in the world ever.

This is true. hahahaha

I kinda like it though, simply cause it's so absurdly stupid. You knew that eventually a band was gonna call themselves "fuck", it was bound to happen.

steve shelley has put out some of fuck's records.


and for the record i really like the name Guided By Voices

oohhhhh you have no idea.

Cherry Poppin' Daddies
promoting incest since 1991

(ewww)

pixies. didn't joey santiago just pick it at random out of a dictionary?
never let the foreigner pick the band name.

actually you kmow the more i think of it, the more i like it.

There were a few local bands around here that had some pretty funny names, chief among them being Screaming Monkey Boner. There was another called Danny Downsyndrome, and their flyers depicted a cartoonish, retarded child.

gorky's zygotic mynci

bikini kill

le tigre

think a lot of good-bad ones are taken - it's safe to say objects like the felt tip pens are bad... like there are some rules maybe.... I've always thought Nirvana and Radiohead were terrible names for bands - umm i dont know - i think its a very hard thing to get a good band name.

This did make me think of one band name though, but im not sure because i like it so much - but i give you Severed Head and the Neckfuckers

the onion has a pretty awesome list of sucky names that defy the imagination:

http://www.avclub.com/content/node/57488

cherry poppin daddies,the band,strawberry alaram clock,three dog nite,the beatles,bob dylan(everyone knows yout name is zimmerman bobby every body!) and last but certainly not least panic!at the disco

YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF THE DEAD (so fucking stupid)

There's a band in my area (or maybe they're national, I don't remember) called: THE ALEXANDRIA PROJECT ... ???

Stringing random words together does not a good name make!

My band is gonna be called THE FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT TRUST-FUND SOCIETY EXPERIMENT (FOR LOVERS)

that onion list is stupid it has great names listed as bad shit. 16 bitch pile up? twodeadsluts onegoodfuck? jewdriver? these fucking rule!!!

i agree with clap your hands say yeah.

i agree with a bunch adam listed (throwdown, bongzilla, yeah yeah yeahs, etc.)

can't think of many right now, a lot were mentioned already.

The Number 12 Looks Like You

I'm sure they had a reason for picking this and it wasn't totally random. It's probably a line from some obscure movie or book that only they get. But even still, why would they think it was a good band name?

hüsker dü sounds very stupid today.
pavement
lcd soundsystem
shout out louds
kings of leon
dragonforce
spank rock
architecture in helsinki
junior boys
funeral for a friend
bullet for my valentine ("it sounds emo and it sounds just like my bloody valentine!! sweet!")
my chemical romance
send more paramedics


what the hell are people thinking these days?

The name of a classic Twilight Zone episode. Never heard of the band though.

Atari Teenage Riot is an AWESOME name.

The Horrors
The Kills
The Distillers
The Knife

etc etc

*yawn*

It doesn't have the feel of a name that could stand the test of time, that's all. Awesome band regardless.

Limp Bizkit is a horrendeous name for a band.

Let's up the bar somewhat with ...

Orchestral Manouvres in the Dark.

in fact, there is a "tribute" band in japan named mac teenage riot...

The guy from ATR had a side project called Nintendo Teenage Robots

Gay Dad, this band name is so, uh, gay.

Stroke 9
Maroon 5
Blink 182
Finger 11

And there was a band from here called

Abusement Park

which is so awesomely bad...

don't be such an extremist. 98% of that list is excellent. of course they do shit like listing 16 bitch pileup as a band having "issues with women" when it's in fact a women's band (but still, they might have issues).

they also missed the fact that the name jewdriver is a parody.

but most of the list are masterpieces of involuntary comedy.

now i don't know in what universe twodeadsluts onegoodfuck would be a good name, but to each their own...

The red chord...wtf?

It gets worse than that:

Good Books


^ What a hideous name for a band.

I got one. It's a local band with a few guys I went to high school with. Four Years Strong. Not only does their music suck, but there name sucks worse than their music.

Guided By Voices isnt a bad name. It's not great, but it's not bad. I like it. And them. One of Canada's best bands.

Guitar Wolf isnt a bad name either. You gotta remember, they're Japanese. Their interpretation of English is rather skewed. Just like our interpretations of their language is really skewed too. Fuckin awesome band as well. INVADER ACE!!!!!!!
