Worst Band Names list
 
Check this out:

http://www.avclub.com/content/node/48956

basically i think most of those are some of the best band names ever.

i mean, bad band names? panic at the disco, my chemical romance, the strokes, the killers, the subways, arctic monkeys, keane; those are shitty names.

Savage Clone 06.27.2006 12:16 PM

Indeed.
Green Milk From The Planet Orange is not only a fine band name, but one of the very best live bands I have seen in recent years.

HaydenAsche 06.27.2006 12:16 PM

I liked the name Panic! At The Disco because it reminded me of At the Drive-in. The band was of course total shite.

i meant they were some of the worst, shittiest names ever and that that website actually put mostly awesome band names and saying they were bad.

CHOUT 06.27.2006 01:54 PM

HAHA I saw Jehova's Shit List recently.

Pax Americana 06.27.2006 02:02 PM

Hahahaha! Jew Driver! Holy shit that made me laugh.

jon boy 06.27.2006 02:44 PM

there are some great names on there. i like mc vagina.

trance feeeedback 06.27.2006 02:45 PM

my bloody valentine is one of my favorite bands, but I hate their name, so many gothic/emo kids must have gotten a whole lot more depressed once they found out the band name my bloody valentine was already taken.

LittlePuppetBoy 06.27.2006 02:48 PM

As I lay dying and Everytime I die are two of the worst bands names I have ever seen

youthoftomorrow 06.27.2006 02:51 PM

man, i'd totally name my band Mood Syrup (if we weren't already named Lava Yeti).

Danny Himself 06.27.2006 02:54 PM

16 Bitch Pile Up is almost as good as Fat Worm of Error- and Jew Driver? Pure genius. What a cunt.

Everyneurotic 06.27.2006 03:03 PM

twodeadsluts onegoodfuck is not just a clever name.

their music rules, them and genghis tron play this style of electronica/grindcore that's pretty awesome.

yeah, my bloody valentine is a good charlette song

The stupidest band name I ever heard has to be Dogs Die in Hot Cars.

Norma J 06.27.2006 05:54 PM

I think Architecure in helsinki is a good name, as I do with Black Rebel Motorecycle Club, if that was an insult before. I just can't tell these days.

One of the worst tossercore bands ever, too.

matt reeder 06.27.2006 09:25 PM

How about Limp Bizkit, Enuff Znuff, Los Lonely Boys, or Jimmie's Chicken Shack? Band names don't come much worse than that.

Oh, and Jew Driver is a GREAT band name.

Sonic Youth 37 06.27.2006 09:30 PM

Underoath
Fall Out Boy-(because is makes me sad that they stole is from the Simpsons and I can't use all my old Fall Out Boy lines anymore without some dumb emo kid shouting "Sugar, We're Going Down")
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead
The Amino Acids
I don't know why, but I hate the name Dinosaur Jr. with a passion like no other.

Norma J 06.27.2006 10:16 PM

... and You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead is a super cool name, and a good band to boot.

Sonic Youth 37 06.27.2006 10:51 PM

...And you will know us by the trail of the dead is indeed a good band, but I hate the name. Same way with Dino Jr. Good band, hate the name

Secret Boys 06.27.2006 11:05 PM

sailboats are white
arctic monkeys

m^a(t)h 06.27.2006 11:07 PM

Roxy Music

Pearl Jam

Nirvana

Metallica

and every other metal band's name

qprogeny79 06.27.2006 11:16 PM

honestly, i can see the guy's point. they are horrible, horrible names.

except for "mariospeedwagon." that's kind of clever, actually.

Fortunately, I like the music too.

If that other stupid band weren't named Dinosaur ("Kiss Me Again"?) then the true dinosaur (jr.) would have kept their name as it was from back in the ol' days.

Norma J 06.28.2006 02:36 AM

I don't mind the name Dinosaur jr. Quite like it infact.

fishmonkey 06.28.2006 06:32 AM

i think The Smashing Pumpkins is a shit name. also a load of Death Metal bands... like My Dying Bride or Cannibal Corpse

DemonBox 06.28.2006 08:17 AM

porkmarras 06.28.2006 08:18 AM

Yeah, for sure. Metal bands don't seem to have a clue when it coems to band names. Anal Cunt being one bad metal band name. Probably the worst band name of all time, I think.

i'm sorry but slayer slays, that band name is awesome, i really hate that it's already taken.

some of the coolest band names are metal bands. there's also ten thousand metal bands (although it's mostly pseudo-metal bands) that have crappy names like cradle of filth or stratovarius or symphony x.

stoner bands have awesome names: kyuss, fu manchu, electric wizard, ufomammut, sunn o))), boris, melvins, the obsessed, saint vitus...the list goes on!
