Locally-

Bitchfork (1st prize for ultimate gay name!)
Funeral Fornication
Sonic Doom
Deathlessness
SICK (or S.I.C.K., still gay and unoriginal)

I could write a list a mile long of national and international bands with "Icky" names, but keeping it local is more fun, and pisses off more people. - Thu, 16 Nov 2006 9:59pm

BUNNY SUICIDE! Then changed to ASPHYXIATION then VERTIGO!

Some names that personally gross me out:

Pentangle (sounds like something you find in your ass hair)
Yum Yum Bang Bang (Japanese girl bands would be too embarased to use this name)
Crystal Pistol (-10 hit points for mixing new age medicine with cheeze rocker crotch references)
Demented Ted (could have been worse, could have used "Ned")
Vicious Fish (was "Vicious Rodent" taken?)
Organized Chaos (functionally taking the riot out of riot)
Kong ('cause giant gorillas are so freaking heavy man)
Tad Morose (should be really morose with a name like that)

=)

I hate cutie rhyme names (like, say, Crystal Method) and badly spelled metal names (worst one I can think of right now is Enuff Zenuf). And some bands just make you wonder; there is a local band called "Fear of Success" and another one called "Flatline" (sure sound exciting, eh?). And let's not forget the Special Guests. Or Ramfunkshus. - Mon, 20 Nov 2006 1:09pm

silence Endeløs, Bitchfork owns you

my worst band name is:

1) all metal bands with stupid death-related words for a name, thats really stupid. Music is expression, if "I will bury you alive and then eat your flesh" is expression then there are doctors and types of therapy you need.

2) Cannibal Corpse

3) The Beatles - one of my fav bands but the name doesn't do it for me.

3) Dragonforce - the name is as annoying as they are.

4) Dragonland - They kickass, terrible name.

5) Hot Hot Heat - yeah...

6) Tragically Hip - the name is lame, maybe it's just their music swaying my opinion. - Fri, 24 Nov 2006 11:38am Edited: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 12:22pm

As for the worst ever... most of the ones I'd post are already here.... but lets see...

Platinum Blonde... brains must be bleached too
Tiffany... sounds like a dimestore hooker
INXS... yes, in excess of mind altering drugs

One of my favorite local band names I remember was this Ska/Punk band called Sofa Kingdom

Yes, I remember M.S. fondly, Bryn. And their demo "Dale Lived in a Mobile Home", featuring the killer hit "That's a Bitch Apple Cunt". Sandy and Maxine - what a couple of "crazies".

I believe it was a glass eye, Scott. (we can always refer to that "Salt'n Peppa" song - with Gary Fields' wonderful lyric contributions - for confirmation).

I just found out about a band called "Job for a Cowboy" the other day.

Now, the fact that it's a bunch of emo boys who very recently discovered pseudo-technical death metal and hopped on that bandwagon along with a predictable amount of breakdowns, that is insulting enough on its own.

It really didn't need that pathetic name. And I'm sure they know that everyone, after last year's Brokeback Mountain, will be wondering "what kind of job exactly?". - Mon, 18 Dec 2006 2:24pm
