Top 10: Worst ever band names

[dave1138]

I think 'Bush' was a pretty poor name

 

[Cheese]

'The The' is a horrible name

I think metallica is a great name

Our tastes are very different then. I found "The The" excellent ...

But we agree on Bush. We might also agree on "The Presidents Of The United States Of America", I had forgotten this one. Metallica is brilliant in comparison.

West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band.

Slightly too literal?

 

[BenS]

The soundtrack of our Lives - Bluergh, no thanks.
Velvet Revolver
The A silver mt zion and the assembled rank of portenious sounding sticklebrick band name, serious but cuchi-coo, fey but noisy, orchestra (and almost all Canadian bands)

 

[The Captain]

Guns n Roses

Arctic Monkeys

.. both make my toes curl right upwards.

Great band, though. (POTUSOA, that is. Well, Metallica too. And POTUSOA is a better band name when pronounced that way - like some sort of dinosaur. Or dinosoa, if you will.)

'The The' is a horrible name

That is so not a horrible name! It's probably the ultimate conceptual name you could give a band. And it's great saying it to someone who doesn't know the band ("The what?!").

In homage to the Commitments

And, and, and!

 

[St.Noah]

Everything But The Girl - trips off the tongue like a broken tooth.
NRBQ - allow thy mind to freely boggle.
Question Mark & The Mysterians - marginally better than Blankety-Blank.
New Riders Of The Purple Sage - strikes the right note of Country weirdness.
Deep Purple - pathetically devoid of any redeeming feature whatsoever.
Wilco - come again?

etc.

Today I got a record by :

"Josef Brinkmann and the Conspiracy of Equals"

Not exactly inspired is it?
