invisible airwave Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 The Alan Parsons Project HSAS and maybe it's my bias, but names like Emerson, Lake, and Palmer make the band sound like a law firm. I expect to hear commercials promising to get me the disability insurance I'm owed (of course, if that were ELP, the commercials would be eight minutes long, with multiple parts . . . ) I just found out there really is a band called Operation Wang Chung in regards to Austin Powers 2.

Principled Man Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Toad The Wet Sprocket The band stole it from an old Monty Python sketch, so they gets bonus points for that. Still, it's a pretty dumb name.... :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I tend to think a lot of the 90s and forward metal bands have the worst names, like "iced Earth." The names strike me as trying to sound so ponderous and "heavy." I suppose the same can be said about things like Black Sabbath though, so what do I know? Iced Earth changed their name from Purgatory in 1985. The bands leader and main songwriter Jon Schaffer got it from his best friend who suggested it. When his friend died in a motorcycle accident, he decided to name the band that as a tribute to him. I just personally think the name Iced Earth has an overwrought vibe to it. Can I explain why I don't think that about some other names? Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, Iced Earth, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest...I rank the band and their name alongside these two. There are far worse names than Iced Earth. Between The Buried and Me, Cattle Decapitation, Pissing Razors, Anal c***. Iced Earth doesn't sound that bad. At least it's marketable. Those are pretty obvious choice though, no?
