Worst Band Names

[Jimmie Higgins]

I had the idea for this post after reading a comrade's thread about the band My Morning Jacket - sorry comrade, it has nothing to do with the music or their hometown, but I can't get past that name.

Here's my list:

Chicago/Boston/Alabama - any band named after a place

Blink 182/Sum 41 - any band that has random numbers in its name (10,000 Maniacs is ok - the name of the band that is).

Bush/Hole - any band that is a stupid reference to genitalia (sex pistols is a great name however)

Meat puppets/Meat Beat Manifesto - any band with "Meat" in the title

C&C Music Factory - if it was "C&C Music Worker's Commune" I'd be fine with that.



... and the best band name ever: The Crucifucks.

I think theyre crap :tongue_smilie:Their cover of the Sisters of Mercy song Lucretia my Reflection was just shit. All they did was scream the lyrics. I just had to say something because SoM is one of my fave bands, as you can see from my avatar :D

[fionntan]

[The Ben G]

Yeah, I guess they should have not coverd that song. Their old stuff is good.

[Axle]

They're a punk band. Stupid names are a given.

[Axle]

Kreator is an alright band.

Pretty much. I was never really blown away by anything they did, German thrash really isn't my thing.

[I.Drink.Your.Milkshake]

They're absolutely brilliant, by the way.

I like them a lot, but it's an awful name.

No. I believe it was disabled after people abused the feature to make "quote trains/pyramids/ziggurats" that really screwed with the way the site displayed. I think that's why we can't anyway, it happened before I was an admin.

We got rid of them for a reason.
