I don't know this band, I might have to check them out. Please tell me if the name is an indication for the music? LOL

Bands with bad names in general? I could google that for a giggle, when I have some time. 



I would say both really, you might enjoy the band, you might not. But we need bands with terrible names, that's the point. Tongue

so since you put this thread in the prog section, it's only prog bands, right? 
 
Yes, it's in the title

Birth Control sounds like the name of some extreme metal band. LOL

I like the ELO name, it's fine by me.

This is mostly because it has been spun from the TV show Cheers, do you feel the same way about Seal and Crofts, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young or Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe?

And then there's Giles, Giles & Fripp, who also sound like a firm of solicitors. Smile

Yes indeed. And moreover, looked like one LOL

The The gets my vote too for the most boring band name, but I've never heard their music, mainly because I was put off by the name. Smile

I don’t generally have such a problem with those. An Abstract Illusion sounds alright to me. I really enjoyed Baikal this year, from Asian Death Crustacean. I’ve heard a few people that have not thought much of the name, but I really like it. Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Porcupine Tree, etc. All fine with me.

well, thank you for mentioning An Abstract Illusion, I am listening right now and they are good. I'm gonna listen some more. LOL

Also, not a bad name if you ask me.

The two names that immediately spring to mind are t and IT. I love the music of both, but they are near impossible to google, unless you include additional Information about what you’re looking for - which works (mostly) for albums, but anything else can be a bit of a a search for a needle in a haystack.

They aren't, but Crimson Mellotron said we can choose bad band names in general too. Wink

then this thread should not be in the prog section.

I'll be honest then, I am tired of people not caring what they post, how they post and where they post. 

After years of over-analyzing "What constitutes what" w labels, genres, etc., I honestly expect such consistency of disorientation lol.
