yeah, that should do it. no wait, i forgot franz ferdinand.

 

the name did come from a Monty Python skit from the "Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album" The skit name was "Rock notes"

 

Michael Learns To Rock (a.k.a MLTR) is a very stupid name Although their music is quite good

 

"Winger" is a pretty stupid name, and a pretty stupid band too. "Great White" is probably the stupidest band name ever. If we can bring rapper names into this it gets stupider still. For example, P-diddy is just about as stupid as you can get. Come on, "P-Diddy"!? that's not a name, that 's something the dog did on the carpet.

 

actually, i think i heard that he started using that name cuz' that's what the notorious (spelling?) B.I.G. called him - or something like that, but i'm not here to defend him - mainly i'd just like to say that i wish some of you guys wouldn't be so quick to judge, at least some of the bands / artists you mentioned have reasons for their names, just cuz' you don't know them, doesn't mean they're stupid...

 

Hoobastank. That probably fits in the same category as P-Diddy.

 

If I'm not mistaken, Godsmack took their name from the song "Godsmack," by Alice in Chains.

 

If anyone's ever seen 'High Fidelity' with John Cusack & Jack Black...

Jack Black's character, "Barry" had a band that went through 3 name changes, and I thought all of their names were funny yet stupid...

The band names were "Sonic Death Monkey", "Kathleen Turner Overdrive" (actually that one's kinda cool), but the stupidest was "Barry Jive & The Uptown 5".

 

all a matter of opinion like but always thought Frumious Bandersnatch was a stupid band name.
So is Wensleydale Cheese

 

Rainbow Butt Monkeys....yep...that's about it.

 

I was helping with names for a friends heavy metal band (which kind of mucis i dispise, and which broke up), but this is what he came up with "Rythmica"...i told him to rip off some sort of thing that a band ha admires is like...kinda like The Beatles did witht he Crickets, or Alice cooper orrigionally did with tThe Earwigs...

But "Rythmica" he had other sucky ones, but that is the one that stuckas bad...

These were a couple of my "good" ones...
>The King's Trampoline
>Sir Yamzar and His Brilliant Purple Band

 

Thee Michelle Gun Elephant

yeah, their name may be stupid but their music absobloodylootely rocks!!

 

"If I'm not mistaken, Godsmack took their name from the song "Godsmack," by Alice in Chains."

That came from Sully Erna ribbing another bandmate for having a coldsore on his mouth. Sully said You got that from sucking to much D**K. The next day Sully came with a cold sore on his lip and the guy said. "see god smacked you for making fun of me." Alice In Chains did not invent The term "God Smack" It's been a phrase that has been around a long time!
Anyway who cares what the band it called. Most give them outragous names to get noticed!

 

Has anyone mentioned "The The"?

 

5,6,7,8 and The Pillows.

 

Sr71

 

Fountains of Wayne. Not only is thier name terrible, they suck ass musically as well.

 

Yes
Insane Clown Posse
Blazin Squad
Mott the Hoople
Cattle Decapitation

 

Yeah, "Tuff" is stupid
"The Urinals" is stupider
"The The" is stupidest
"P-diddy" is stupidest-est
What kind of person goes around saying "I got the new P-diddy album! It's awesome"
But the best word in this whole thread is "Fucktarded" that's gonna be my bands name.

 

thats an awesome name, no one else thought of it first did they? simple, memorable, unique
