Best/Worst band name ever: Anal Cunt

 

That one's always the first name that comes to mind, followed quickly by Violent Anal Death.

 

Best: The Fabulous Hey Mar Mar Brothers

 

They sent us a demo and some stickers when we had a DIY record label. The demo went in the circular file but the sticker is on our "CBGB Replica Bathroom" wall.

The very best name I've ever heard has been floating around CT for years and years but no one ever used it because half a dozen people claim to have come up with it, so no one ever wanted to "steal" it from somebody else.

 

Drumroll......

 

A ska band called Best Boy Grip And The Gaffers.

Never heard of this band, but I like the idea.

I used to have a friend who absolutely loathed John Mellencamp, and his distaste was fueled even more by Mellencamp's periodic "name changes" (from John Cougar to John Cougar Mellencamp to John Mellencamp, for those of you who weren't around then). Anyway, he always referred to him as "John Loser Menstrual Cramp." :lol

That's good stuff. We refer to him here as J.C. Melonhead.

Good Ones:

The Band

The Beatles -- Seeing "beetles" spelled almost looks incorrect now

Bad Ones -- that aren't obvious, like "Anal Cunt", which is ridiculous

U2

I'm so glad they didn't go unmentioned.

 

The Band.

I have always loved this!

 

Let's see... Barry Jive and his Uptown Five, or Kathleen Turner Overdrive!

 

And, there's a local band around here called Acid Rainbow.

Good thread

 

How about Thee Monkey Butlers (and yes, it is "thee" not "the")

 

Caca Jesus

 

and any of those Jam band thingies that combine nature and vehicles of some kind, like " Old Tyme Mountain Train" or "Great Smokey Love Bus"

 

Iron Smurf was a band that I was in back in high school, had some nice art work.

 

XTC - great band horrible name.
