Worst Band Name

Cast your vote for the most ridiculous, disgusting, or unimaginative band name.

My vote: Hoobastank

That's easy...


BUTTHOLE SURFERS

Hard to top that one I think!

Back Street Boys
Boys 2 men

'Frenzal Rhomb.' What the hell does it mean?

'Grinspoon.' Again, what the hell?

'HIM.' Stupid.

'My Chemical Romance.' So Emo it hurts to laugh.

There are so many. There are too many to list but these are a few.

The Meat Puppets....I guess the band members are made of meat and they're acting like puppets.

Grinspoon..

I think that may have been named after a Dr. that was a proponent of legalized marijuana.. Lester Grinspoon..

I stole his book from the public library, about 25 years ago..I was too chicken, to actually check it out..LOL


oh, how about

Jimmy Eat World?

I always liked the meat puppets..The BAND that is.
I think you might be wrong about the puppet part..correct on the meat though..

which made me think of "MeatLoaf"

uh, sorry spacedoubt, it's not the puppets I don't like it's just the name. Actually I like the Meatpuppets better than Meatloaf.

I never understood why everyone liked Meatloaf.

Here's another one....

Hole

pussycat dolls


In Peace Always
resi

The Cranberries get my vote.

This one makes my teeth hurt:

Molly Hatchet

Goo Goo Dolls is a close second.

I'll have to say,going back a ways... Mega Death is about the worst name I have heard for a band. Mega Death?

It's Megadeth.

Whatever. It's a rotten name

How about "The Dead Kennedys"?

DragonForce. I know they're power metal and all, but could you pick something not so cheezy or DnD?

My whole record collection is filled with what most people would consider horrible band names:

entrails massacre
squash bowels
gore beyond necropsy
melt banana
unholy grave
impaled northern moon forest
fearless iranians from hell
jodie fosters army
john cougar concentration camp
gruesome stuff relish
etc etc etc

I could go on forever with this list.

One more to add....

Belly

Need I say more about the name?

"Blind Melon"

I have a one eyed cat that my daughter actually named "Blind Melon". We call her "Melon" for short.

No kidding.
