Giuseppe Zangara Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 I Love You but I've Chosen Darkness The more I think about it, the more I like this one. The band itself sucks, though.
FroGG_NeaL Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 Alice In Chains, Blind Melon, Bush, Butthole surfers, Days of the New, Deep Blue something, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Eve 6, Foo fighters, Gin Blossoms, Good Charlotte, Goo Goo dolls, Green Day, Hootie & The Blowfish, Marcy Playground, No Doubt, Porno For Pyros, Phish, Silver Chair, smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots,Third Eye Blind, Fozzy, Jefferson Airplane, Martha Reeves And The Vandellas, 3 Doors down, Alien Ant Farm, Alterbridge, Box Car Racer, Fall Out Boy, Five For Fighting, Incubus, Hoobastank, Killswitch Engage, Maroon 5, Matchbox 20, Train, Nickelback, P.O.D., Rusted Root, The Ataris, Tool. I like some of those bands, and a few of them are some of my favorite bands of all time. But still, those are all fucking stupid band names.
Guest Felonies! Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 Incubus and Hoobastank, aren't they the same band? Not that I'd know; I've never consciously listened to them.
FroGG_NeaL Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 Nah, Incubus is a much better band then Hoobastank. I can listen to certain Incubus albums all the way through, Hoobastank I only like maybe 2 songs.
Special K Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 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
Wyld Cannon Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 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.
CanadianGuitarist Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 Strawberry Alarm Clock. Revolting Cocks.
Toshiaki Koala Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Posted August 31, 2006 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.
Epic Reine Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 Death Cab For Cutie Bullet For My Valentine Burn Her Anyway
Ravenbomb Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 I don't think band names should be long, complete sentences
Slayer Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 I don't think band names should be long, complete sentences Like Morrissey song titles
Guest Felonies! Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 That's basically what they're ripping off, either in spirit, indirectly (Panic at the Disco), or verbatim (Pretty Girls Make Graves).
snuffbox Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 Isn't "pearl jam" a euphemism for semen? Yeah, that is pretty bad. That's not even close to where that name comes from. And...'Pretty girls make graves' was a line from Kerouac first.
Spaceman Spiff Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 Eddie's, but he's denied those rumors.
Smartly Pretty Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 I can't believe Red Jumpsuit Apparatus hasn't been mentioned yet. Or maybe it has and I suck at reading, which is entirely possible.
PLAGIARISM! Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 Whilst The The is pretty shite, Matt Johnson was a pretty damn good songwriter, so I try to look past it.
DCMaximo Posted September 2, 2006 Report Posted September 2, 2006 Get Cape.Wear Cape. Fly Terrorvision Various (just for the "impossible to find on the internet" factor) A (ditto) My Life Story the Artic Monkeys OPM
Guest J0bber Posted September 2, 2006 Report Posted September 2, 2006 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.
cd213 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Posted September 7, 2006 Boysetsfire, Alexisonfire, Boyhitscar...what the fuck is up with these!? Agree with Kajagoogoo and Oingo Boingo
jwest27 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Posted September 7, 2006 I actually like them(or used to), but Korn is pretty bad. Korn it's like corn, but with a K, you see
cd213 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Posted September 7, 2006 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.
FroGG_NeaL Posted September 7, 2006 Report Posted September 7, 2006 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.
PLAGIARISM! Posted September 7, 2006 Report Posted September 7, 2006 Dunno what's wrong with 'Butthole Surfers'. For a knowingly attention seeking name it's pretty concise.
Red Baron Posted September 7, 2006 Report Posted September 7, 2006 Red Hot Chili Peppers Damageplan Rhapsody Guess Who Jethro Tull
cd213 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Posted September 7, 2006 I am a fan of Mushroomhead, Motogrator and Mudvayne, but they are ridiculous names. Slipknot is kinda shitty as well.
