Worst band names (1 Viewer)

I like Jawbox. Not just the name like.

 

[coast to coast]

does there being a band called The Radio kinda wreck my band's buzz of being called The Radio Playing?

Or there's peel fav Jawbone.

I always though tindersticks was a really terrible name for a great band.

 

[Hector Grey]

in fairness lads, this is easy.

what's a good name for a band? dead kennedy's. best name ever. joy division. uh. that's it.

Jawbox is awesome but i'd rather have been in jawbreaker, have you heard the split 7" they did?

heard the Jawbreaker half - isn't it With or without U2?

 

[oh shit]

heard the Jawbreaker half - isn't it With or without U2?

yeah it is... it's a bit 'eh?' isn't it?
jawbox do 'airwaves dream'

they shoulda done one of those covering-each-other's-songs things, like jawbreaker coulda done a great version of 'Ballast' and jawbreaker done one of their slow cathartic style numbers on 'Want', that woulda been great.
but then it was in 1991 so i guess neither band's songs were legendary at that point...
and all the pressings are sold out long ago so all this is kinda pointless fantasising.
*sigh*

People in glass houses shouldn't throw shoes, but I think the following are terrible names

-Fleetwood Mac, at a time when everyone had a mac to keep the rain off and fleetwood paint was made in Ireland i bet a load of people were confused
-Exit, why?
-any band named after an element from the periodic table or containing a word from the table.
-The Radiators From Space
-And You Will Know Us From The Trail Of The Dead
-Godspeed Black Emporor
-The Postal Service & Death Cab For Cutie
-My Morning Jacket
-Big Tom and the Mainliners
-CKY

and I know we're really guilty here of having a poor name...but I wouldn't have it any other way

The Garlic Boys. Always a favourite for this game.

 

[red]

Is it not Godspeed! You Black Emperor?

I'm surprised and shocked and a little sad that nobody has mentioned Clive*Star

(...still bitter after all these years)

Audioslave-terrible name for a terrible band

Kaiser Chiefs-just utterly shit.In every respect

Broken Social Scene-Actually a really really good band but by rights they should be an emo monstrosity.

Mother Love Bone-How did that seem like a good idea at the time.they weren't all on smack surely.

Actually... Already Dead is quite good. Well done.

Beards of Jesus... em.. phone was stolen about two weeks ago and I've been busy with family business. So haven't been able to do anything. However, PM your number... I'll round up the others and get something sorted out.

Honestly, it'll be January before anything happens.

The Boy You Hit Is Dead is a great, great name for a band.


when we heard that the lads were calling them selves that we were gona call ourselves "the guy with out the seatbelt did the damage". but we didnt.

 

[Break Neck Speed]

Wallmark is a shit name for a band. sounds like hallmark and wallmart and their manager is a total fuckin wanker.

 

[Dude no.7]

porno pete, the red monkey pirate!!!!!

'The Boy You Hit Is Dead is a great, great name for a band.'

You know when they cut to the shot of the binliner in the empty bedroom.Is that meant to be the kid in it or whats the story?

it wasn't the guy without the seatbelt that did all the damage, it was the car driving on the wrong side of the road. fact
