Title: Worst band names that do exist.
Post by: mankie on January 05, 2004, 11:40:00 am: Exit Clov! :p

I also hate all these single syllable names that have become the rage with the 15 minute crowd.

Post by: Sir HC on January 05, 2004, 01:45:00 pm: I guess also would come into play, those names that either are too close to a famous band (Smashing Orange), or all too similar such as:

Superdrag
Supergrass
Superjesus
Supersuckers
Superdiamond

I didn't see this post till just now, and after seeing the author, I knew immediately what your choice was. Maybe you should come out on the 16th and see them play.

Post by: mankie on January 05, 2004, 04:59:00 pm: Honorable mentions,

String Cheese Incident

Phish (spell it right for God's sake)

All those other mis-spelled names like Mystikal or whatever it is.

Post by: calecp01 on January 05, 2004, 05:56:00 pm: Good bands, bad names

The New Deal
Broken Social Scene
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead
James Taylor Quartet
The Sea And Cake
(people always confuse it as two bands, The Sea, which they've never heard of, and Cake)

Perhaps the all time worst: Insane Clown Posse
