08.25.16 | it's good to have a marketable name but other than that it really doesn't matter. plus this list has so many stretches to fill entries it goes out of its own way to be bad. survey says... delete this list. |
Conmaniac
08.25.16 | woah woah woah 30 and 22 are excellent band names lmao. some of these I don't mind either |
demigod!
08.25.16 | agree with all the scenecore bands it seems like you hate any even slightly unorthodox band names in general tbh |
FullOfSounds
08.25.16 | 30 is awesome. |
Parallels
08.25.16 | 7? 7! |
jmh886
08.25.16 | i'll agree 30 and 22 are not so terrible. perhaps i should have reduced the number. like i said not too much thought was put into the order. and if its good to have a marketable name, then it does matter. but this was for fun, dont take it too seriously guys. |
ashcrash9
08.25.16 | regarding 41, they used to be Harvard spelled correctly but apparently the institution was like "hey, stop that" so they just removed the vowels
or something |
jmh886
08.25.16 | well that is better than just removing the vowels to be different i suppose |
AsleepInTheBack
08.25.16 | List is magnificent |
jmh886
08.25.16 | ^yes thank you! one positive feedback makes it all worthwhile |

08.25.16 | Nocturnal Vomit- awesome death metal with a name that turns people away |
Tyler.
08.25.16 | Bad list |
Typhoon24
08.25.16 | indeed. lots of shite names here |
Artuma
08.25.16 | 44 (both band name and music) is amazing fuck off
and suffocate for fuck's sake |
Artuma
08.26.16 | and the punctuation works well in 24 |
FullOfSounds
08.26.16 | Let's eat Grandma vs. Let's eat, Grandma |
jmh886
08.26.16 | this list has nothing to do with how i feel about the band's music. calm down buddy. sorry you disagree with two bands on here. go drink a beer. |
jmh886
08.26.16 | captain, we're sinking is probably not so terrible i agree. but just doesnt flow well. |
Artuma
08.26.16 | i actually almost mentioned sffs in your 'favorite band names' thread lol
but honestly a lot of these band names are better than soundgarden
beer is good though, agree on that |

Their name is still kind of terrible though |

08.26.16 | punctuation is bad. reminiscent of a whale...now there's a good name. |
jmh886
08.26.16 | do people really actually like the names with the stupid punctuation in them?? can't believe i am offending people. |

ArsMoriendi
08.26.16 | Ampersands, apostrophes, and some periods (like the case o Dr./Mr./Jr.) are okay, but most punctuation in band names are kind of unnecessary. |

GeorgeWBush
08.26.16 | I love this list and everything it stands for. Although I do think that Giraffes? Giraffes! is an excellent name. May I suggest PVRIS? |
GeorgeWBush
08.26.16 | I mean, CHVRCHES sort of makes sense. Not saying that it's a good name. It's terrible. But the Romans used V's instead of U's. But PVRIS replaced a fucken A with a V. |
GeorgeWBush
08.26.16 | Shit name AND the wrong vowel. |
demigod!
08.26.16 | i do really hate the name Into It. Over It. though
|
ThyCrossAwaits
08.26.16 | the fact that someone had to add "(US)" to Attack Attack! because there's also an Attack Attack and an Attack! Attack! makes me want to cry |

CunninLynguists too. |

08.26.16 | list needs Chumbawamba |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
08.26.16 | otherwise i agree with most of these but not all |
Sevengill
08.26.16 | Charred Walls of the Damned is pretty cringey too. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
08.26.16 | also CunninLynguists is objectively a fucking fantastic name for a hip hop group
if it were for any other genre though the effect wouldnt be the same
but sevengill listens to solely entry level metal so i can understand why she hates it |
miketunneyiscool123
08.26.16 | anal cunt is the best band name ever |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
08.26.16 | like seriously that double entendre is like the absolute most topical thing of all time for hip hop. its self explanatory. |
jtswope
08.26.16 | It elicits a chuckle, but on closer examination is objectively dope. |

08.26.16 | I think "Dance Gavin Dance" and "The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza" are so bad that they loop around and come back to being good again. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
08.26.16 | they dont they are just bad |
SitarHero
08.26.16 | Naah. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
08.26.16 | yeah sorry you can rationalize thinking they are good all you want they are still two of the worst names of all time ever |
Sevengill
08.26.16 | "but sevengill listens to solely entry level metal so i can understand why she hates it"
I don't like it because it's a worn-out joke that hasn't been funny since before Deep Purple used it in 1984's Knocking At Your Back Door. |
SitarHero
08.26.16 | What's a bad band name? What are the criteria that make it "bad"? |
ZippaThaRippa
08.26.16 | For me it's almost worse when a band has a good name but makes shit music. I'm like 'oh hell yeah, that sounds fierce lemme check it. Oh. It's proggy poop metal.' |
DirEnRefused
08.26.16 | amazing list. only one i don't dislike as a name is badbadnotgood |

08.26.16 | car seat headrest is also an awful name |
Trailmix
08.26.16 | 39 and 20 shouldn't be on here lol |
CaliggyJack
08.26.16 | LOL The fact you hate CHVRCHES proves you have no sense of historical context. "U"s used to be spelled with a "V" until it was given a curve later on. They are simply using it's old form.
Other than that 0/10 for using the word "gross" in the dumbest way possible. |
iloveyouall
08.26.16 | v is more aesthetically pleasing than u tbh |
Keyblade
08.26.16 | cunninlynguists is a a1 name what are u saying op |

08.26.16 | chvrches in all lowercase looks fucking sick tho. |

08.26.16 | It looks fucking stupid when it is typed in this text sure. They put in fine on their album covers for stylistic purposes. |
Deathconscious
08.26.16 | Captain, We're Sinking and Neutral Milk Hotel are both great names for them. |

Wombat988
08.26.16 | 7 is the greatest band name of all time. |
AsleepInTheBack
08.26.16 | I still think 40 is a great band name just because it's so ridiculous |
jmh886
08.26.16 | historical context? who cares? it's bad either way. and is someone really hating on a username? |
jmh886
08.26.16 | and lists get features? |
Risodo
08.26.16 | awesome list |
ZippaThaRippa
08.26.16 | Chvrches is a fucking shit name. Which is fitting considering the material. |
hobblepot
08.26.16 | Dance Gavin Dance have the greatest band name of all time. Also list blows, half the complaints are threadbare at best. |
Sevengill
08.27.16 | "id say you'd be fun at parties but you probably get way too much social anxiety to have ever gone to one"

Or like, the ones with friends. And talking. |

oldsoul
08.29.16 | @DefendCrabCore - living up to your username there
@ZippaThaRippa - DRUGS was a pretty bad band name too |
CrimsonLies
08.30.16 | Um 44 is amazing |
WatchItExplode
08.31.16 | Way to make a list that isn't one of 40k variations on the same few themes. I enjoyed it! |
Kompys2000
08.31.16 | 1 is 1. This list is the truth. |
Sevengill
08.31.16 | The Receiving End of Sirens is the worst band name
ISIS is the most unfortunate |
Kompys2000
08.31.16 | ISIS is pretty damn unfortunate... I still think Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! is worse than The Receiving End of Sirens, though. It's got 2 exclamation points, and they aren't even consecutive. It just doesn't get any worse. |
Keyblade
09.01.16 | if isis is unfortunate, imagine the thousands of girls who are also named after the greek goddess |
Sevengill
09.01.16 | NPR did a special on businesses with the acronym ISIS. Most of them switched the letters around but some stuck it out, which generally seemed to elicit positive reaction from customers. Because fuck those terrorists ain't changing us. |
OwMySnauze
09.01.16 | So glad Sky Eats Airplane didn't make this list. They're just awesome, name and tunes. |
YetAnotherBrick
09.01.16 | damn this shit had me cracking up. well done. 31 tho lmao |
majordevlin
09.02.16 | !!! that band name yeah... |
riffariffic7
09.03.16 | Here's a few bad band names I thought of: (hed) p.e., Here We Go Magic, Kajagoogoo, OneRepublic, Stereomud, The The (love this band, but this name was a bad choice, although I do kinda like it at the same time for how nonchalant it is, and it rolls off the tongue well too), Toots and the Maytals (another band I love, but saying "toots" usually doesn't sit well with me), T'Pau, Wang Chung, The Weeknd, 1208. |
americanohno
09.03.16 | The Pains of Being Pure of Heart is a great band name imo
boring music tho. Sad! |

11.01.16 | Some of these are excellent |
sarcasticspit
11.06.16 | These commenters are the worst. Clearly have no sense of humor and are way too attached to the names of the bands they like. This is a great list. Didn't listen to Neutral Milk Hotel for the longest time precisely because of the name (then eventually realized they are actually fantastic). Will never get over Death Cab for Cutie. And your comments on the names are hilarious.
|
Snake.
11.06.16 | "Hypercritical much? Also must note some of these names were excellent at the time the artist originated, which was quite awhile go. Dance Gavin Dance is probably one of the coolest most original names that fits perfectly with their silly-fantastical-esque lyrics"
man you sure told him |

07.31.17 | 18 is a Twilight Zone reference, not exactly named after the episode. The episode was named "Number 12 Looks Just Like You" |
TheSupernatural
04.22.19 | Adebisi Shank is reference to the character Adebisi from Oz |
Rowhaus
04.22.19 | We Butter the Bread With Butter and The The should be added |
Kompys2000
04.22.19 | The The is a great band name and you're bad for not liking it |
SlothcoreSam
06.03.19 | Agree on 1. I fucking hate that fucking bands name so fucking much. Had to just get that out.

Wubs
06.19.19 | Haha nice list, had me some good chuckles |
Wubs
06.19.19 | Ok here's some. American Football, Rainbow, A perfect Circle, Porcupine Tree & The War on Drugs |
JayEnder
06.19.19 | The Number Twelve Looks Like You is such a stupid name that it legitimately pisses me off |
TheSupernatural
06.19.19 | Oh yeah American Football and The War on Drugs are really awkward names completely disassociated with what they do. At least Porcupine Tree is memorably nonsensical. I immediately imagine the redwoods that I had in my backyard growing up |
Wubs
06.19.19 | Yeah it's not the worst name, I guess I don't think it really matches their serious stuff. Pianos Become The Teeth? Christ lol |
blastOFFitsPARTYtime
06.19.19 | Going to take a stab in the dark and guess that Die! Die! Die! wouldn't do much for you as a band name. |
J() Alexander
06.19.19 | Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The World Is a Beautiful Place and I Am No Longer Afraid to Die, Death Cab for Cutie and Godspeed You Black Emperor! are cool. |
J() Alexander
06.19.19 | American Football and Pianos Become the Teeth are also cool smh (Americ Anfootball or something like that would be better tho). |
