He's not really a band but I always thought musician/composer Dick Hyman had the worst show business name ever. |

Then there are some band names that would take on new meaning because of events that followed years after the particular band formed. Gerry and the Pacemakers |

I hate band names that use alternate spellings or abbreviations to look clever: Stryper You get the idea. Even the Beatles would fit in this category so I'll agree with Gegantalope! |

Yeah, you're right Mai Tai, I forgot about Fudge Tunnel. That's a bad, bad name. What about Mustard Plug? What the hell is that? Gross! I always hated John Cougar Mellencamp. |

Both the Bleu Chunks and the Durocs were names I hated because they were so stupid, but I ended up sort of enjoying when I got over the bad Pun. (A Duroc is a large brick colored breed of pig) |

Here's a bad album title - Gang Green's "Older, Budweiser." Combining that title with their name makes for ick. |

B.R.M.C. - anybody can name their band after a fictional motorcycle club from a 1950's Brando movie. If you guys REALLY wanna impress me call your band The Hells Angels. Death Cab For Cutie - probably copped this name from the Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour" movie. If asked to name the Bonzo Dog Band album this song appeared on I'm sure the silence would be deafening. Flock of Seagulls - this band took off like a herd o' birds.

"And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead". Geezuz, it takes a week just to say their name. Kinda makes "INXS" & "U2" look pretty good. At lease there's time to say their name before you go to bed. And how do they shorten that? "I know", says the pretentious singer who's annoyed that we all don't think he's clever, "let's go by AYWKUBTTOD! That's much shorter and easier to remember". |

It's even worse if you know how he got the name: His grandfather used to hit on Don van Vliet's old girlfriends by leaving the bathroom door open while he peed while muttering "So large, like a fine Beefheart..." |
