There are a number of Japanese punk bands with bizzare names such as Mr. Children, Bump of Chicken, and The Piss. As for English speaking bands, Panic! At the Disco and Clap Your Hands say Yeah are the worst names

My nightmare band!
 There are also quite silly names in the field of psychedelia, like THE CHOCOLATE WATCH BAND or STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK.  Edited by Eetu Pellonpää - July 11 2007 at 02:11 |

I always thought the name Skinny Puppy was somewhat silly.
Right Said Fred (What exactly was said that was right?)
Duran Duran? (Wasn't 1 Duran enough?)
 I could probably name about 1000 different HipHop/Rap names that are extremely stupid but then I'd be wasting valuable keystrokes which could go towards better uses.

The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side. - Hunter S. Thompson

Hapshash and the Colored Coat. The music was as awful as the name.
Hatfield and the North is just as bad a name; they are named after a road sign on the M1 in Great Britain. When I was in school a friend of mine played guitar in a band named "Urinprobe", another in a band called "Coitus Interruptus". None of these names were any good either. About U2: I always thought the name stood for "You Too", which would have been an allusion to the last words of Caesar. |

There were some bands doing the rounds in Aus. a while back - 'I Spit in your Gravy' , 'Le Club Foot', 'Chinless Elite' and 'Deckchairs Overboard' - actually, I don't mind the last two. [I used to play in 'Pin Sandwich' which was pretty bad, in more ways than one]! ! !

I like the name Spock's Beard, and I suppose Star Trek fans must love it! :edit: silliest artist name I know of must propably be Yngwie Malmsteen. PS: Anal C**t would have been a cool, provocative name, if it wasn't for the fact that the p*ssies put "AC" on their album covers instead of the full name....

^ They're ok-ish names... in the "trying to be special so much that they're nothing really special" - category. Though I quite like the name Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.

Sorry people, the music may be good, but Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Godspeed You! Black Emperor are quite idiotic names...

It would've been very, very good if it had been some sort sort of Jazz band instead of a Black Metal one... |
