[Bikeage77]

GO.

 

Korn

Limp Bizkit

The String Cheese Incident

Phish

Straight Edge Crack ______ (sounds like Horrors)

[Hammer]

Not sure if I will get nailed for this but the "Butthole Surfers" was the worst one for me while growing up.

[JimH5]

Agreed on the surfers. . .I also remember cringing over the Dead Kennedys and the Circle Jerks.

[Schlitz001]

The '90s is full of bad band names.

 

Neutral Milk Hotel

Goo Goo Dolls

Hootie and the Blowfish

Hoobastank

 

I really like The String Cheese Incident, but that is a horrible name that doesn't reflect their style at all.

[Gobias Industries]

Elbow

The String Cheese Incident is absolutely brutal.

[trwi7]

Anal C word I can't use

 

Test Icicles

 

Wow, Owls

 

This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb

[valpocrewsader]

Pink Cream 69

Gotthard

Edguy

Ten

Eleven

Toad the Wet Sprocket

Drivin N Cryin

How about an imaginary band name? Sucky Band

[PKBadger]

Puddle of Mudd

[Teatoe993]

I avoided listening to the Flying Burrito Brother for nearly 20 years because I thought the name was awful. It's one of my biggest regrets in life.

[jrodbrewcrew]

Nickleback

[OglivieHomePerm]

The Oneders.

[craigharmann]

Dishwalla

Hanson

Vanilla Ice

Milli Vanilli

[1992casey]

Dead Kennedys is either among the worst or among the best. I can't decide.

[bigredrobbo]

Some good bands in here, but TERRIBLE names!

 

 

Hoobastank

The The

Any band with a symbol that's well nigh unpronounceable as their name

!!!

We Were Promised Jetpacks

The Bravery

Biffy Clyro

(hed)P.E.

Tygers of Pan Tang

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD is okay but the full name blows!)

A Flock of Seagulls

Jimmy Eat World

Bongwater

Ace of Base

The Airborne Toxic Event

A Place To Bury Strangers

30 Seconds to Mars

 

Awful names, one and all!

[Bikeage77]

This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb...I dont know if I love that name or hate it. Their a good enough band though. A few years back, a guy had their sticker on a bike, and the feds came and sawed his bike up and stripped it down to find nothing. The feds then bought the guy a new bike apparently.

 

Circle Jerks and Dead Kennedys are both genius

[mothershipconnection]

Any band with only a word and random number for a name. Sum 41, Blink 182, Maroon 5, Matchbox 20...

[jerichoholicninja]

Pretty much any current "rock" band.

[Oldcity]

Saliva

Three Doors Down

Papa Roach

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Panic! At the Disco

 

Neutral Milk Hotel is so fantastic that I can't dislike the name.

[Menotti80]

Pretty much any current "rock" band.

 

 

 

 

 

Err I don't know about that one...

 

 

 

I will throw in: Presidents of the United States of America

[Flood Pants]

Staind

Incubus

3-11

Finger 11

Hoobastank

Smile Empty Soul

 

How about band names that would be really clever if the band that uses them weren't so terribly un-clever.

Fallout Boy

Nickelback

 

And I've got to say, Neutral Milk Hotel is just about the perfect name to describe Jeff Magnum's music and lyrics.

[Polish Falcons]

You guys did a good job with this. Here's 10 more I don't like:

 

stone temple pilots

clap your hands and say yeah

better than ezra

hootie and the blowfish

staind

death cab for cutie

mustard plug

papa roach

g love and special sauce

barenaked ladies
