Worst band names ever...
I recently found out about a band called Whole Wheat Bread. What a horrible name.

So what say you, people of the Lounge? What are the worst band names you've ever heard?

32. I like the name The Killers
Edited on Tue Sep-27-05 08:05 PM by primate1
And the band too, for that matter. They got the name from a New Order video.

And at least the 6 at the end of Eve 6 isn't arbitrary. It's a reference to an episode of The X-Files.

"After seeing the episode "Eve", which featured genetically engineered characters known as "Eves," he got the name from the character called Eve #6 who made a remark about biting a guard's eyeball, which Fagenson thought merited "Eve 6" as a band name."

10. Strawberry Alarm Clock.
Edited on Tue Sep-27-05 05:11 PM by Redstone
Fever Tree.

Gid Tanner and His Skillet Lickers.

The Bucksnort Ginslingers. (And you have to give me credit for having the guts to post that one where everyone can see it, because it was the name of one of MY bands. And I was the one who came up with it. I guess I owe everyone an apology for that. Good thing we never got famous, or I'd never live it down.)

PS: That's not a typo. It was "Ginslingers," as in the booze, not "Gunslingers."

15. Ever been around the Austin Music scene?
They were "known" in the late 60's. Just in clubs and such.

39. No, I like them.
Anatomic features are okay, but something like "Poop Shooters" would be kinda iffy in my book.

28. A crappy band name but makes good music - Of Montreal
They make up for it by having some awesome album titles - "Satanic Panic In The Attic", or "But Who Will Help Big Oil?".

37. Hootie and the Blowfish.
Or maybe I'm just so tainted by my overwhelming dislike for them that I can't make an objective assessment.
