    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.

    As much as I love the music, a large amount of post-rock bands seem to think band names need to be entire sentences. It's a weird trend.

    Godspeed You! Black Emperor
    God is an Astronaut
    If These Trees Could Talk
    65DaysOfStatic
    Explosions in the Sky
    And So I Watch You From Afar
    This Will Destroy You

    And They're just the ones I Listen too :pac:

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I like some of those names though - love Explosions In The Sky.

    Yeh, I'm a fan of 80s/early 90s indie and that featured some right crappy pretentious names, like the aforementioned The The, also Throwing Muses and Miranda Sex Garden.
    Smashing Pumpkins is a terrible name too, as is Ned's Atomic Dustbin (already mentioned).
    I don't mind Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine though. I should think it's terrible, but I don't - can't explain why.

    - Curse These Metal Hands
    - Man Feelings

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


    Diden't they also have Free The Paedos or was that the name of a club or something?

    Some pretty interesting band names here.Suffice to say I don't think any of them are on the 2FM playlist.

    Yeh the Dancin Bastards were a real thing, not a myth as I thought.

    Ah I love Sexual Chocolate - weren't they a comedy act and wasn't the name taken from an Eddie Murphy movie? :)

    Checking out the metal and industrial sections of Tower Records will cause lols. Some of the names are absolutely hilarious.

    the jesus and mary chain - when a band name is like a sentence it just doesn't work.



    'The Band' - a solid name for a great band.

    e.g. The Cranberrie5 ..naa just doesn;t work does it?
    Apparently he came up with the name when he joined an internet forum. There was a limit on characters so he had to shorten it down to '5'

    The Garda Band will never go platinum with a name like that. What were they thinking?

    One irritating trend from a couple of years back were female solo performers with monikers that sounded like band names.Marina And The Diamonds and some other wan who called herself I Blame Coco were two that spring to mind right now but there were more.

    While I absolutely love her work, Bat For Lashes is a terrible moniker IMO.

    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.

    They're playing Cape Town and Jo'burg in December!
