Best & worst band names

[HecticArt]

Richard Butler. Two bands. Both have good songs. Both have bad names.

Psychedelic Furs

Love Spit Love

The first one is just awkward at first, the second one stinks.

IDK?

A dik-dik is a small African antelope. Their onomatopoeiac name comes from the whistling noise the females make when they feel threatened.

I don't imagine they have a big enough following for anyone to give a shit about how to pronounce it.

 

[sadchild]

Probably true, but they have released 24 albums over the course of 38 years, according to Wikipediaiaiaiaia

I assumed with some of the titles you listed, they would've quickly run out of offensive concepts.

With song titles like "Paedophile At The Misfits Gig", "Robert Had To Pay For His First Pair Of Tits" and "Out Of The Closet And Into The Casket", I'm going to just take them at their own word - they named their album Probably The Worst Thing You Have Ever Heard.

 

[scotchandcigar]

They're a staple of indie music, but their name has always been dumb.

Pretty soon, we will run out of band names. By 2050, bands will have to take a number.

 

[Channel98]

We've already had 112, 311, 911, 999, the 77s, the 88, the 747s, the 1975 and the Japanese band the 5.6.7.8's.

 

[sadchild]

There's also 213 and 888. I have both of these tracks in my mp3 collection

 

[scotchandcigar]

I can't decide if this goes in the best category or the worst; but it's one of them.

 

[HecticArt]

The best of the worst?????

 

[MonoStereo]

I heard Mannequin Pussy on XMU the other day. Every time I'm reminded of that band name it makes me chuckle.

 

[HecticArt]

I've seen / heard them on XMU a few times.

Ladies and gentlemen.... Smoking Gives You Big Tits!

 

[Channel98]

"Smoking Gives You Big Tits" sounds like one of Robert Kennedy Jr.'s loony theories. Joey Genovese, who had been in a San Francisco band called Apache, formed a new band in 2012 called Big Tits. That might be a "best name" for a female group – but not for a male group.
