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 emoticon
** The word 'band' is used in the loosest possible terms

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. emoticon

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

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?)

Would you welcome please, Robin Trower.

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 emoticon
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. emoticon / emoticon
