    Scouting For Girls, how did the thread go on this long without them getting a mention, awful name and even worse music.

    They never quite made it big but Jeremy & Super Hans had some out there names for their band.
    - The Hair Blair Bunch
    - Spunk Bubble
    - Mommas Kumquat
    - Curse These Metal Hands
    - Man Feelings

    And of course who could forget: Danny Dyre's Chocolate Homunculus.

    Kaiser Chiefs. Now there's a band who'll never get a gig in South Africa, since they stole the name from a soccer team there.

    One Direction: a better name for them would be One Dimension. :cool:

    But now I think about it ... a good band can transcend a bad name. Do we care that The Rolling Stones, The Who or The Smashing Pumpkins are daft names? Porcupine Tree? There's a band named Yes - yes, just Yes - that's been going since 1968. Tears For Fears and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, anyone? :P

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Almost any band name beginning with "The" is rubbish. Except The Rolling Stones. That's a class name.

    I hate really bland, nondescript names like The View, The Feeling, Keane etc.
    Bombay Bicycle Club and Two Door Cinema Club are also dreadful names, and what makes them even more irritating is that I always mix them up.
    The Naked and Famous is another band name I dislike, even though I do like their music.
    Radiohead almost called themselves On a Friday - that would have been shít.

    They might be giants isn't a great name for a band but they did take it from the film where it's a reference to Don Quixote.

    Yeh, it just reeks of "Oh we're being all cool and not bothering to make an effort with our name." It was a popular thing to do in the first half of the 2000s. There was a band called The Music ffs, and The Darkness.

    Other end of the spectrum is those stupid long names like And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead (or whatever) and Godspeed! You Black Emperor.

    Fun - suitably awful. The Coronas - does that not require ok-ing by the beer company?
