Incubus and Hoobastank, aren't they the same band? Not that I'd know; I've never consciously listened to them.

The Who is a terrific band name.

 

Can't believe no one's mentioned Limp Bizkit yet.

 

Gin Blossoms isn't just two words thrown together, it's the broken blood vessels in the face that alcoholics get. Not a good band name, tho.

 

Pearl Jam's a pretty horrible name.

 

BUTT Trumpet

 

Twink the Wonder Kid

 

Pretty Girls make Graves

 

Ugly Kid Joe

 

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

 

Any Name that's just a random word plus a number: Matchbox 20, Blink 182, Sum 41

Planes Mistaken For Stars is a great name in my opinion. It really rolls off the tongue.

 

The Smashing Pumpkins isn't as bad when you know it's smashing in the british sense.

 

if you count Cash Money Millionaires as a "band" then they have the worst and most redundant name ever.

Isn't "pearl jam" a euphemism for semen? Yeah, that is pretty bad.

 

I have absolutely no interest in their music, but Revolting Cocks is a tremendously fantastic name for a band.

That's basically what they're ripping off, either in spirit, indirectly (Panic at the Disco), or verbatim (Pretty Girls Make Graves).

That's not even close to where that name comes from.

 

And...'Pretty girls make graves' was a line from Kerouac first.

Bland names such as Cold, Switched, and Saliva are always putrid. How could I forget the worst name of all, No One? Seriously, these guys need to name their band in a more unique manner.

jwest, I agree. I am a huge KoRn fan but their name doesn't have any meaning whatsoever. I know in interviews the members always say that when it comes to a band, it doesn't matter what the name is as long as they make music that people like.

 

My friend's band is pretty good but out there at the same time, Cirkus from Hell.

A long time ago, I asked this kid why they called themselves Korn.

 

He said it a gay sex term, Korn being the word used for any shit that comes from anal sex.

 

But only with gay anal sex.

 

I punched him in the arm and never talked to him again.

I am a fan of Mushroomhead, Motogrator and Mudvayne, but they are ridiculous names.

 

Slipknot is kinda shitty as well.
