 The Vines
 The Hives
 Cold
 Doves

 ...actually, there's hardly any good band names that come out these days, they must be all taken or something.

oh. i guess not. never much of a fan -- of the movies or the band.
 
 i actually got dragged into seeing o.a.r in boston. it was the scariest show i've ever been to. so much abercrombie. everyone looked the same.

come on, who wouldnt treat women like that given the opportunity?
 
 I know I would'nt.
 
 "Gaye bikers on acid" always sounded like a bad name for a band.

I like their music, but I hate System of a Down's name. It's just awkward.
 
 Any group called The [one band member, i.e. Dave Matthews, Joshua Dodes, Greg Kihn] Band is also going to blow goats.

I don't consider those bands, musicians, entertainers or anything like that so wouldn't give them the benefit of the doubt by including them as part of this question.

why couldn't they just be "Duran"
 
 It's like they're so good you have to name them twice.
 
 "Comsat Angels" was a pretty good name for a band too.

well done bungle....admitting you have a problem is the first, and biggest step to overcoming it.
 
 Did you get to grope many 14 year old girls?
Title: Re: worst band name ever
Post by: bungle bud on May 27, 2003, 02:42:00 pm
didnt have time to, i was enjoying the music of duran duran so much, and when simon is up there doing his stuff you dont think about 14 year old girls, you just think does it get any better than this and then you turn to your friend ,gaze into his eyes,smile........

Post by: bungle bud on May 27, 2003, 02:52:00 pm
i didnt, markie was into THEN JERICO back then and duran were there rivals in the pop idol stakes, if you go to his place you will see a shrine to MARK SHAW, a bloody massive poster from the 12" (markie likes 12"s) of LOVE SO BRIGHT.
Title: Re: worst band name ever
Post by: markie on May 27, 2003, 03:00:00 pm
your in depth knowledge of then Jerico is quite disturbing........I bet you saw them live too, didnt you?
 
 For the record the cheesiest live act i have seen was probably it bites.
 
 "calling all the heroes(shooting up the town boys)"
Title: Re: worst band name ever
Post by: markie on May 27, 2003, 03:03:00 pm
Oh and Duran Durans rivals were WHAM, you couldnt be a fan of both, probably as it would demonstrate what terrible taste n music you had.... Personally I liked neither.
 
 If I had to make the choice now though it would be Wham everytime. Despite Simon le bon having better taste in sexual partners than George.

I think Neutrsal Milk Hotel is a great name for a band and fits their music perfectly.
