The Stupidest Band Names
Inspired by another thread.
That Petrol Emotion
Prefab Sprout
An Emotional Fish
Gerry Fish & The Mudbug Club
Those Nervous Animals
Cactus World News
Mad Dog Foley & The Dancing Bastards From Hell*
Boyzone**
Cannibal Corpse (and a multitude of similar extreme metal bands)
*These guys didn't get very far
** The word 'band' is used in the loosest possible terms
--- Dr. Lyn *sigh*

Re: The Stupidest Band Names
CL, when I read the title of the thread, the first thing that came to my mind was Boyzone, and then I read your list... I see this as evidence that Boyzone is a stupid name, rather than we having a telepathic connection.
Apart from #1, no particular order:
1. Boyzone
Cream
Yes (no...)
The Miracles
Wargasm (their Fireball cover is perfect!)
Spock's Beard (Bread would have been better)
Gravy Train
The Potatoes
Judas Priest
The Butthole Surfers

Re: The Stupidest Band Names
Love (It was a clever name if you know their music, but if I say 'I like Love' to my mates, it gets kinda embarrassing)
Bubble Puppy
Rainbow
Whitesnake
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
The Beatles
Taste
Hard Stuff
Caravan
The Nice
Robin Trower (there were three of them, for goodness sake. Now there's four. Surely 'The Robin Trower Group/Experience/Band' would have been more appropriate)
King's X (Is it 'ex', or are the really named after a grubby North London tube station?)
An*l C*nt (Like, why?)
--- We are here to watch three men, and three men only.
Would you welcome please, Robin Trower.

Re: The Stupidest Band Names
Bad Company (did they pick that one out of the hat marked "cheesey and clichéd?)
Free (from what?)
Mahavishnu Orchestra
Rush (see "Bad Company" )
Pantera (sounds like a feminine hygiene product)
Megadeth
Judas Priest
Motley Crue (even worse with the silly umlaut)
Colosseum II
Blackmore's Night
Camel (were they on a sponsorship deal with the cigarette brand or do they just have phenomenal bladder control?)

Re: The Stupidest Band Names
Here in Sweden there's a punk band called 'Buttsweat' (Rövsvett). Think that that name should definitely belong to the top of this list.
Milan, I don’t think Sweet should be on this list. /
