worst band names

some that i think are:

RAM, Coldplay, Collective Soul, Oasis, Matchbox 20.elbow.

The Presidents of the USA The Beatles The Doors

The twins

A flock of seaguls

Nick Cave.....and the bad seeds

Crispy Ambulance

tendorloin (spelling?), wumpscut, & moon rock, hootie & the blow fish.

tendorloin opened for soundgarden and all i remember about their set was that the obese lead singer took off his shirt and poked himself with a fork and did belly flops. i think i might be making the last part up but i'd hope the point is sent. they suck.

Right Said Fred New Kids on the Block Hoobastank Maroon5 Hootie and the Blowfish NSync Cinderella Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch Goo Goo Dolls Vengaboys

...CHUZPE...

Smashing pumpkins.......great band though, shit name.

The Beatles is a very clever name; they were a "Beat Group," thus, The Beatles.

NObabe wrote: The Doors

The band took their name from the title of a book by Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception, which was in turn borrowed from a line of poetry by the 18th century artist and poet William Blake: "If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it truly is, infinite."

Styx REO Speedwagon Grateful Dead Phish Frankie Goes to Hollywood Matchbox 20 All the nu-metal groups currently littering the charts Jefferson Starship Hootie (wait for it)...and the Blowfish ABBA Katrina and The Waves Yes Asia Basia Toto T'Pau Backstreet Boys Beach Boys Freddie and The Dreamers Oingo Boingo Rammstein Urge Overkill Genesis Big Brother and the Holding Company Poi Dog Pondering Stevie and the JDs :p

T'Pau :p

Ahh yes. T'Pau. Good one!

No Vulcan-dressing Trekies here, I take it?

Oh, I got another one...Bananarama.

The band 'Live' .... truly unoriginal boring pretentious shitty band with an asshole leader, and an incredibly stupid band name... i don't know if they were ever popular outside the USA, i hope not

i must admit that i have always thought that 'Electronic' was a pretty lame name, uninspired

and must agree about the "supergroup" Asia , everything is lame about that "band"... thename was probably thought up by the record label execs

i bet nearly EVERY english word you could think of has been used as a band name by now, you prolly couldnt get a truly original new name except for stringing together an odd combination of words

i guess it is all subjective...

what about U2? spy plane with a "you too" pun... i don't get it...

U2 and the cure

europe staind limp bizkit death cab for cutie

Maroon Five Linkin Park Limp Biscuit(I'm not sure how they spell it) Collective Soul Right Said Fred Nickelback Saliva Disturbed Korn

And there are tons more...

Worst name and worst band I ever saw, abysinian polevault, played in a pub in Blackpool (which I was working in, I couldn't escape!) in the late 80's, utter shite, sang bad covers of tears for fears, couldn't get the hang of triplets or the bloody melody, the singer was cross eyed, and they had an attitude like they were top of every chart going, utter wankers, thank god i was mates with the DJ and got him to play NO after each gig.

Oh, the ultimate bad name.......Air Supply

You know you're in a world of hurt when you hear the band name...

This brings up an interesting arguement: can a good band survive a bad name?

Sorry Rian, can't agree with you on that one, it's a good name for a stern-looking group of men..

Crispy Ambulance is a pretty bad one.

Can't imagine a band would be eager to have a name like Something Corporate as their moniker, but if those boys have their knee pads at the ready, well then, more power to 'em.

i agree, green. i think it's a fantastic name and fits them perfectly. perhaps rian isn't familiar with the colloquial term 'a bad seed.'

now for the best band name ever...sandy duncan's eye. the first time i heard it i almost crapped my pants with laughter, but i was in the DJ booth and had to go sit in the corner until i could compose myself.

Maybe it's just me, but naming your band Jet is incredibly lazy. It's like saying "we could invest more time in coming up with a good name, but we won't"

Might as well have a string of airplane-inspired monikers to follow:

Biplane Monoplane Messerschmitt B-15s The Fokkers Spruce Goose Led Zeppelin...erm, that one's taken?

The Blue Aeroplane

The is a great german fun-acapella-band (is it called "acapella", too in english when you sing without instruments?)

They are called: Die U-Bahn-Kontrollöre in tiefgefrorenen Frauenkleidern (which is kind of: The Subway conductors in deep frozen women's clothes)

This can't be beaten. And the boys are crazy but great,too. They call themselves harcdore-acapella band...

I put a link in for proof:
