Personally, i think that Puddle of Mudd is the worst Nirvana rip-off ever.


Ok, returning to our topic:

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Boy Anal
Hootie and the Blowfish
Limp Bizkit
Sixpence None the Richer
Mister Mister
Alien Ant Farm
Barenaked Ladies
Jimmy Eat World (A.K.A. JEW)
Take That
Cherry Poppin Daddies

and my personal favorite and just disgusting band:

Boyz 2 men

And special surprise. First place in the BBC Radio 1 "THE 'WORST BAND NAMES EVER' 2003

Korn is a cool name.

Lets see.....
The white stripes
Brittney spears (and anything else corporation created)
JLo (feeble attempt to look and sound black - Also, any other corporate rap falls in the category of shitty names)

It's all subjective, I might think some names sound pretty gay, but that's not my place to say, I'll let their music speak for them, then I'll not only shit on their name, but also on their work, but it has to be pretty awful before I do that, music is subjective in itself, except that Justin guy, I think that's his name, that was the runner up from American Idol, I heard him on Jay Leno a while back and he just flat out sucked, go buy a comb dude, and stop wearing those man dresses, and while you're at it get a job

let's see.........any band that sticks a number in thier name. like blink-182 started because of legal reasons (they were orignially called blink but got sued), which wasn't so bad, but then powerman 5000, sum41 and 311 came along. If you chopped the numbers off the names they'd go from bad to worse. Powerman? Sum?

and more....:
The Music. Can we say dumbest name of 2003?
Megadeth is pretty stupid as well.
Nickelback.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs = yes they have a stupid name, but the music's ok I think. By the way, they named a song "No No No."
The Who. Good music, bad name

I got these from Mojo magazine: Proper, Sussed, the Ran-Dells, and Martha and the Muffins

Undermind
June 24th, 2003, 11:51 AM
Please don't put 311 in that category, not only is their sound fairly original during these times in music, but they existed well before Blink did. 311 was formed in 1990, while Blink-182 debuted in '93, so just be aware of the facts before you go tossing names out, thanx

Cup of Dirt...that suck in a load of ways and probably blow....and swallow...

Next up....

Kid Rock...what a drugged out loser...

And the number one spot goes to.... *drum roll*

Eminem!

For a number of reasons...
1 - He sucks...
2 - For all that 'hard ass' image shit he tries to play off...naming himself 'Eminem" AKA M&M and doing the fag skits really doesn't leave much to the imagination. Incase you didn't get that...think 'melt in your mouth, not in your hand' or brown stuff that is kinda paste IE the innards of an M&M....

In short he can't rap nor can he come up with decent shit to write about and he's already proven himself to be a full out fudge packer....we salute you mindless teen ghetto ass heartthrob of suburban teen males and females alike! Good job cum bucket!

Edit - Undermind I gotta agree...some of their stuff is down right melodic and fairly original...plus some of it sounds really 'neat' when your stoned...as does Radiohead or Tool and even some Deaftones stuff.

i heard 2 stories on how 311 got its name.

1. that it's a police code.

2. that it stands for the KKK. why? because K is the 11th letter in the alphabet, and so it's 311= 3 K (11th letter) meaning 3 K's=KKK.

btw, i like some of 311's stuff off transistor. but i hate when they do rap.

I didn't know that, so thanks for pointing that out. I'm not a fan of thiers, but they are better than blink-182 by a longshot

Here's more for the list:

Herman's Hermits (fun music, but crap crap crap name)
Sleater-Kinney (the one name that manages to conjure up images of.......nothing in my mind. other than a woman sticking another name on, I can't picture anything else. So straightforward, yet so empty
Ludacris. No explanation needed.

DJ anything. I'm sorry, that may be your profession, and you may or may not do it well, but for frick's sake, can't you be more creative here? DJ Dara, DJ Food, DJ Hell, DJ Hype, DJ Kool,
DJ Quik , DJ Zinc. Real DJ's from allmusic.com. How many more DJ's are there? (wait, I don't wanna know)

yeah, I've heard many rumors on how they got the name, I really don't care too much, only they know where it originated from, as long as the music is cool, I could care less if their name was dingleberry sniffers, okay that's a bit extreme, I know, haha, but you get the point


and yeah that DJ thing is pretty gay sometimes, but I think it's done more out of tradition than coolness, but one that I have to say never impressed me is DJ Quick, no good rhymes, plus the name says nothing, Quick? as opposed to what? Slow? C'mon man it's rap, I hope you are quick or else hand the mic to someone else and STFU

Got a few more:
Travis - Who wants to sound like a northerner? Anyways their music is depressive.
DJ (insert) - Very true, too damn many!
Any band which likes to use 'feat.' in their name (especially stuff like, for example, Limp Bizkit feat. the Backstreet Fudge Packers).
Blink 182 - I don't want to blink that many times!
Greenday - No, it's blue damnit!
Something Corporate - Yes, you're corporate sellouts!
InMe - I don't want to be anywhere near you, let alone in you!

Talking about InMe, before they became sunnavabieatch sellouts, they played at a local gig round my area, and the lead singer guy was trying to hit on my girlfriends friend, who is about 4-5 years younger than him!
Let's just say he failed miserably... what a goon!

Most names including DJ something are electronic types of music like techno/trance/dance, and I frankly like a lot of those like DJ Tiesto

This is turning into a "who's your least favorite band and why" thread, you guys are bashing group names because of their music, which I can understand, but its not really the topic...

How about this one, they did "peaches" (one of my favorite songs) "The Presidents of the United States of America" TOO LONG

Actually, they didn't even really have a permanent name at first and used to rotate through a roster of monikers, such as Ashtray Baby Heads, Vodka Family Winstons, and Nine Foot Worm Makes Home Food. All really f'd up names, imo. Butthole Surfer" was one of their early tunes and the audience and poster makers for shows picked up on it. Michael Stipe was once quoted as saying he wanted to name his band Butthole Surfers but since it was already taken he had to settle for REM...

Anyway, there was a point to their name at least, back in the days when white-bread chicken-shit America could still be shocked by a musical group's name. One mid-to late '80's review I read of them claimed they sounded like "Lynyrd Skynyd cleaning an outhouse." To get the idea across to the uninitiated, take a listen to such classics as USSA, Lady Sniff, Kuntz, and Track 1 off of Hairway To Steven (sometimes called Jimi, otherwise known by the pictogram "Defecating Man with Erection Throws Baseball to Urinating Woman with Bat," as seen in the attachment below...)

As a big fan (and creator) of purposefully annoying and abrasive music, I put BS's way up on the list. Don't dis my homies, yo!

Worst names? Some good bands with dumb names: 24-7 Spyz, Right Said Fred, Catherine Wheel (all guy band with no "catherine", and most people don't know its the name for a visual effect--see http://www.tecsol.com.au/CatherineVid.htm), The Jealous Sound, and especially Stabbing Westward--wtf is that supposed to mean?

I would also get annoyed at all the Ebonics-inspired mispellings in the rap genre, even if the last ten years of rap hadn't been a mindless and unlistenable ripoff of the classic "Straight Outta Compton."

Then in ultimate of ignorance of onomonopia, there's Snap. Crackle and Pop? How about Duh?

Finally, there was GTR. I read a one word review of their first record that went like this:

GTR
SHT.


Enough of my one-sided opinion for now. Its too hot up here--I'm gonna go ride my motorcycle over to my friend's new house (well, new for him, anyway).

It will sound just like this:
Vroooooom!?
Vrooooooooooom?!
Vroooooooooooooooom!!!

pax takum amikos

edit: 1) didn't realize the gif I snagged for the Hairway To Steven titles was mangled--here's one with all of the "titles" from Hairway, including the pictogram for Track One (Jimi)

Great White ...... The name is so bad that the band disbanded and will never use that name again.

edit: 2) Great White did not disband--they were the ones that started the fire in the Station Nightclub disaster with their stupid pyrotechnics that killed 100 people in Warwick RI back in February, including my friend's brother, my tattoo artist, and injured many others. And despite losing one of their guitarists in the fire, they are still playing and wanted to come back here to RI to do a benefit. Maybe if they set themselves on fire...

i always thought “backstreet boys“sounded like some subtle gay reference...

and “girls aloud“ wasnt too hot either...


but “linkin park“ is the winner here. it was supposed to be “lincoln park“, but they had to change it "because linkinpark.com was already taken, and our corporate creators decided that kids would be to lazy to go to sonyrecords.lincoln-park.com to buy CDs of us wailing and t-shirts of our butt-ugly faces."


but... i actually like some of linkin parks songs...if theyre manufactured (which they are), i almost dont mind.

First off, it's Backstreet Boys, all one word.

*NSYNC derieved their names from their last of their first names.

Justin - N
Chris - S
Joey - Y
Lance - N (I don't know why they used N and not E, they just did)
JC - C

And UBER-RAT, I was once doing an interview with Kasey Kasem, and later on in the show, he was talking about Linkin Park and said that they wanted to originally name themsevles Hybrid Theory, but because of a legal problem they couldn', so they decided on Lincoln Park, since it was one of either the members, or managers favorite place to hang out when they were little, they decided to change it to "Linkin" to appear more cool though, and for, of course, website address confusion.

Anyways, I think the worst band name ever is:

The Be Good Tanyas. They sing folk/blue grass, and they're song "It's Nt Happening" from their 2nd studio album [China Town] is fairly enjoyable, but still, quite a mouthful, also other groups with bad names are:

Rascalz
Bowling For Soup
Basement Jaxx
The Vapors
Blue
Box Car Racer (eww, horrible name)
Crazytown
Ja Rule

On the otherside though, I really like the name of Vertical Horizon, it's a very unique name thats meaning doesn't click in riught away ; ) Also, Evanescence is a good name too, quite uniqe.

- Marilyn Manson - neither Marilyn nor Manson-just a powerfaggott

- Carter the unstoppable sex machine - Complete Nonsense

- TAFKAP - rather no name than that

- Powerstation - ran out of power pretty fast

- Kajagoogoo - didn't last because babies don't buy records

- Red Hot Chilli Peppers - pfffffffff

- Severed Heads - yeah go on. chop it off

- Mothers Finest - pot or what?

I can also add Boyz 2 men to this list.

I really dislike their music and these ooh-ahh in each song, but that's beside the point.

Their name really sounds like some section in American clothing store - in some section they have new stuff for boyZ, in another - for men. Something like awful clothing store that's offering really bad background music.

thanx riaa employee for turning me on to the site www.whatreallyhappened.

i always thought “backstreet boys“sounded like some subtle gay reference...

and “girls aloud“ wasnt too hot either...


but “linkin park“ is the winner here. it was supposed to be “lincoln park“, but they had to change it "because linkinpark.com was already taken, and our corporate creators decided that kids would be to lazy to go to sonyrecords.lincoln-park.com to buy CDs of us wailing and t-shirts of our butt-ugly faces."


but... i actually like some of linkin parks songs...if theyre manufactured (which they are), i almost dont mind.


almost.

So.This old thread has been breathed back to life...alright then.

I've never seen this one or been in aband that wanted to use this name, but I always thought a really annoying name would be TBA (To Be Announced). People would never be quite sure if we were playing or someone else was when they saw that in the paper. Of course, annoying your fans in such a way would not really be in any bands best interest, but it still is a funny idea in an obnoxious sort of way.

Besides AC, there's a band called Anal Jackson which is also playing grindcore

and some other bands Anal Kittens, Anal Solvent etc.

Live is also quite stupid name.

"Today you'll see Live performing Live !"


And...uh....what else ? Satan ! That's also quite stupid. This band wasn't

satanic and why did they called themselves like that ?


Armenia also sounds funny to me. While it may not be the stupidest name for

the band, its still funny - band is from Canada and i really doubt that they have

any relation to Armenia, they just playing pure noise. "Today, Armenia from

Canada is performing live!"


Another thing - Billy Talent. I like their first single and i really don't know why,

because its not the type of music that i'm listening to. But can't imagine how

they came up with the name which is including the word "Talent". You still have

to prove that you're talented before you'll give that title to your band.....

I've always thought Weezer was kind of a stupid name. Why not name a band cougher of farter or urinater if you're going to name it Weezer. Another stupid name is Q-Tip, who is a rapper.
