Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

I remember a buddy of mine kept bringing up this prog band called Spock's Beard and thinking, "That is the dumbest name for a band that I have ever heard." Little did I know that they'd be one of my favorites eventually.
Another name that I find stupid is Modest Mouse. Death Cab For Cutie is pretty stupid, too. E |

My Dying Bride(A Quite Good band with a Very, Very Good vocalist and a godawful name, they don't risk being namedropped too often by anyone who wants to retain a sense of dignity), Gothminister(Just bad, in every respect), and let's say Anathema. By contrast SSV-NSMABAAOTWMODAACOTIATW is a Very Very Funny name, as is Zweck, but only if you are Norwegian rather than German. Edited by Zweck - July 07 2007 at 13:56 |

It would've been very, very good if it had been some sort sort of Jazz band instead of a Black Metal one... |

Sorry people, the music may be good, but Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Godspeed You! Black Emperor are quite idiotic names...

^ They're ok-ish names... in the "trying to be special so much that they're nothing really special" - category. Though I quite like the name Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.

I like the name Spock's Beard, and I suppose Star Trek fans must love it! :edit: silliest artist name I know of must propably be Yngwie Malmsteen. PS: Anal C**t would have been a cool, provocative name, if it wasn't for the fact that the p*ssies put "AC" on their album covers instead of the full name....

There were some bands doing the rounds in Aus. a while back - 'I Spit in your Gravy' , 'Le Club Foot', 'Chinless Elite' and 'Deckchairs Overboard' - actually, I don't mind the last two. [I used to play in 'Pin Sandwich' which was pretty bad, in more ways than one]! ! !

Hapshash and the Colored Coat. The music was as awful as the name.
Hatfield and the North is just as bad a name; they are named after a road sign on the M1 in Great Britain. When I was in school a friend of mine played guitar in a band named "Urinprobe", another in a band called "Coitus Interruptus". None of these names were any good either. About U2: I always thought the name stood for "You Too", which would have been an allusion to the last words of Caesar. |
