What are the worst band names ever?

Broken Penis Orchestra

thats pretty bad

nobody wants to think about broken penises when you are listening to music. NVM nobody ever wants to think about that.

Anal **** is a joke band, and are supposed to have a bad, controversial name. They're basically trolling irl. Its funny as hell though.

And band names that are bad would have to be one named after a certain person in the band(With exception of the Jimi Hendrix Experience).

Crosby Stills Nash and Young are legendary.

^^I have to disagree with you about that, there are plenty of great bands that use the founders name and they are better than many of the ones I have seen over the years.

Butthole Surfers come to mind Cosmic...it does make me laugh, but it is a terrible name for a band.

butthole surfer sounds like something you come up with drunk or high, although they are a great band

Because musicians are all 14 year old boys at heart

very true. It is what got me divorced trying to put together back the pieces. Why do you think that Motely Crue book sold so much. The stories.

 

[gregjohnson1229]

Gym Class Heroes
Dashboard Confessional
Good Charlotte
311
Blink 182

Anything along these lines.

Never really liked the band name Def Leppard either. Spell the damn name right (though I admit Motley Crue sounds infinitely better than Motley Crew).

Then again, I was on the verge of forming/joining a local group called Nytemair, so I shouldn't be talking trash.

To Blink 182's defense the were originally named Blink which would have been a great name if it hadn't already been taken. Good Charlotte on the other hand named their band after a children's book. Not too rock n roll huh.

I actually hated my old band's name Last Audio, but we caught steam when we had that name so it had to stay. We first played under the name New Destination but, I HAD TO GET RID Of That One

Kurt Cobain came very close to naming Nirvana Poo Poo Box. That could have been the worst.

Wasn't Nirvana almost called Fecal Matter?

(And no, I'm not laying on the snark with that one. It's true.)

-Danger Danger (a headache to find in search engines or online auctions

I would have killed myself if I would have been a radio personality back in the 80s, to have to introduce "Naughty Naughty" by Danger Danger. Christ. Erm, I mean, Christ Christ.

Living in a Box is another horrible band name.

Because they released their first record "Living in a Box" ... and it had a title track called "Living in a Box".

So goddamn redundant.

I was a radio personality in the 1990's and 2000's who on a few occasions introduced "Naughty Naughty" by Danger Danger. I never killed myself over that one.

Came pretty damn close though when I had to introduce on other occasions "Bang Bang" (also a single) and "Cherry Cherry" (just album filler) by Danger Danger. That's no BS. Those are real song titles of theirs and I played them as well.

Hell, I played "Naughty Naughty" and "Bang Bang" in the same set with a full front sell and back sell once. I'm sure I also used one or both of those songs in combination with "Cherry Cherry" for another double shot. Or a few.

That isn't BS either. I have hand written playlists somewhere in my attic.

Circle Jerks. I cringe at the imagery.
