Crappy Band Names

I'll start.

The runner up.... Belly.

My personal least favorite name.... Dappled Cities.

Reminds me of an afterschool special I once saw about a 'developmentally disabled' kid who ran around going....

"Dapple!! Dapple!! Dapple!!"

Throwing green beans on the floor...

"Dapple!! Dapple!! Dapple!!"

Punching himself in the head...still....

"Dapple!! Dapple!! Dapple"

Regardless of talent....

"Dapple!! Dapple!!"

What are some band/dj/whatever names that you don't like?

"Dapple!! Dapple!!"

murder by death

bear vs. shark

i hated both those band names the minute i heard them, and wrote both bands off as being terrible based on the name alone. (dunno if im right or not, i won't give either a chance based on the name)

BvS is amazing!

give them that chance.

I hate the following:

A Thorn for Every Heart

(insert anything here) Romance

!!! (love the band...hate saying the name)

Mando Daio (how the fuck do you even say this?)

Bullet for My Valentine, just the name makes my stumach turn for some reason :/

Maybe it turns your stomach because its a shit name for a shit bad playing shit metal to shitbag kids?

Murder by Death isn't a brilliant name but they are a cool band.

I always thought Oasis was a poor name for the band as it always reminded me of the soft drink

i'm undecided on an all time worst name though - i don't want to commit too soon.

I'm going to preface this by saying that I enjoy all these bands:

I stayed away from My Bloody Valentine for a good while until I realized that they weren't some crappy emo band.

Thee Silver Mt Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band or whatever the fuck ASMZ decided to call themselves this week.

Boris. Or I guess I could say that that's a crappy song title.

Gorguts, Monstrosity, Gorgasm, etc. Come on...

I've always liked Bear Vs. Shark, both name and tunes.

Keeping with the animal theme, their album Terrorhawk is pretty darn good.

Its a shame they broke up after making it.

My least favorite are bands with "The" then random objects.

The Doors.

The Cars.

Reminds me of an old interview with John Lennon where he states The Beatles could've been named The Shoes for all he cared.

I guess all that matters is the tunes.

Here's my favorite from list....

The story: When the band regrouped in the late 1960s, their new manager changed their name from Silence to Mott the Hoople, after a novel of the same name about a circus freak.

Why it's ridiculous: First of all, we don't know anyone who's ever read, or even heard of the novel. We asked a professor of mid-20th century circus freak literature if he'd read it, and he punched us in the stomach for making up such a stupid sounding novel. Also, calling anything Mott the Hoople basically begs one to enquire what the hell a Hoople is, for which of course there's no good answer. It's basically the band name version of the joke that goes "You've got some updoc on your shoulder!" Only when the person replies, "What's up, doc?" you say, "I have no idea, something about a circus freak."

LMAO
