Worst band names

blind guardian is such a silly name that I like it    
Spock's beard I have actually seen the episode of Star trek this name comes from after I saw it I liked the name before that I saw it I didn`t like it at all
Kansas  ..  who would ever imagine such a skilled prog band would have the name Kansas ?   I expected country and western music I do think that if they had gone with their original name White Clover or Proto Kaw they would have had more of an impact
for the name Kansas was kinda tarnished from the start and stacked in the country sections in many record shops .. so crazy

there's lots of funny and odd names in prog many people who don`t know any better think Jethro Tull is the name of a guy not a band

I'm enjoying their music so far though. :) The Green Carnation is a book from the 19 century that was loosely based on Oscar Wilde's relationship with Lord Douglas that indirectly lead to his trial of  for Gross Indecency. In the novel, the Green Carnation was a symbol if identification that certain young men wore to identify themselves to each other. Whether that information is relevant in this circumstance I know not.

Ha-ha.  Or if you have the LPs, try vinyl gloves.  Handle it with "kid-gloves" (we are kidding around), and whatever you use...

...just don't afterwards.

my friends solo band name is just greatness, imo:

Every time I've mentioned Godspeed You! Black Emperor to my friends, I've regretted it, simply because I have to explain that they have nothing to do with the black power movement or anything like that.

yes--

I believe the band named themselves after him

Here's some lame, pretentious and cheesy progmetal bandnames. These guys should  probably should start smoking something:

Adagio
Canvas Solaris
Beyond the Labirinth
Forgotten Silence
Pain of Salvation
Shadow Gallery
Dream Theather
Symphony X
Moonlight Circus
Diabolical Masquerade
