DistantEarlySignals Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Here is the thread to post (what you think are) decent bands with bad names - let me start: The Beatles. My second favorite band of all time (just after RUSH), but I'm always so hesitant to even say the band name.... It is not very good. Also, Pink Floyd isn't a great name... Post on!

Mr. Not Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yeah, The Beatles is a pretty bad name really. Pink Floyd is an outstanding name however. "Death Cab for Cutie" is questionable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YYZumbi Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Easy. I love Rush. But their name... Not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satchmothesnowdog Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Easy. I love Rush. But their name... Not so much. Rush is a bad name, always thought so Another bad name for a band with some phenomenal music is a band named f**k. Obviously, the guys in f**k decided they didn't want to become rich and famous and just wanted to produce their art on Alternative Tentacle records, which couldn't care less what you name your band. But it's really good music and tou'll never hear about them. Same with Fudge Tunnel :laughing guy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I don't dislike the name, but it's hard to come off as the tough guy that I am when I'm mentioning that Gentle Giant is one of my favorite bands. One that I don't mind (due to it being suitably dorky) but that Ian Anderson himself laments is Jethro Tull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsonmistymemory Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) The Monkees would be my choiceMusic =Meh forced popStyle= syndicatedExistance=CorporateName=STUPID Edit; And actually when I think about it they were not very good artists eitherEdit;Edit; my beloved misspell(s) Edited July 2, 2015 by Crimsonmistymemory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relayer2112 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Probably not a household band name, but I always thought "Flamin' Dick and the Hot Rods" was questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I think the name Rush is perfect for them! Toto is a sucky name. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 The Monkeys would be my choiceMusic =Meh forced popStyle= syndicatedExistance=CoporateName=STUPID Edit; And actually when I think about it they were not very good artists eitherThe MonKEES. I love the Monkees, but if you look down on Pop music, I can see the disdain. Pre-packaged? Sure, in some cases. But they actually evolved into a true band. Note, the actual Beach Boys did not play their actual instruments on a lot of their best known songs. Check out Pet Sounds. I don't criticize the Monkees for doing pretty much the same thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 a lot of names are kinda stupid if you analyze them. "why'd they spell this wrong?" "what does that mean?" it's rock n roll! the best band names are butthole surfers and dead kennedys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is however repectable that they to rebelled against the corporate meat grinder to control their own music and songs so for that I will give kudos to them for that and some of their songs were maybe not too terrible...

Del_Duio Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) X Great band, not such a good name. EDIT: Actually "YES" is a pretty stupid name too. Edited July 2, 2015 by Del_Duio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Can anyone beat Meat Loaf? Wasn't that his nickname his whole life because of how big he always was? Sure, it's a stupid name for a singer but when you know the story behind it, the name make sense. Obviously, the people didn't mind the name too much since Bat Out Of Hell is one of the best selling albums of all time. Bat 2 is a pretty damn good album as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
