Saw a band by the name KCUF at Best Buy today... I bet they think they're really cool.

Honestly, there are far more worse Metal band names than Anal c**t. How about Torsof**k? Pollution? Job For A Cowboy? Neige Noire?

You could list any grindcore or pornogrind band.They all have the worst names ever.Some of the song titles for these bands are ridiculous too.

Apart from the first one you mention, the names are at least less puberal. And I do know about the grindcore and other extreme bands - I don't like their sound, and the band names and track titles don't help much in liking them either.

Roland und die Dadadogs (band featuring Roland Schaeffer of German 70s band Brainstorm and Guru Guru as well as a few other musicians who moved in the Guru Guru / Kraan / Embryo / Amon Düül 2 / Missus Beastly / Karthago circle which exchanged musicians back and forth).

Job For A Cowboy and The Devil Wears Prada are two of the suckiest band names ever!

Emerson, Lake and Palmer is an unimaginative name and is therefore worth a mention... the same goes for the Alan Parsons Project.

I take contention with this only because their name is taken from the character V's residence in V for Vendetta, one of the best graphic novels and movie adaptation ever.

Tthat doesn't make it a good name for a band, though!

Anything that borrows from Tolkien annoys me. The three that come to mind are Isildur's Bane, Shadowfax, and Gandalf, I'm sure there are plenty more though.

Symphony X is a pretty cheesy band name to me.

I've always thought the same thing of their name. I haven't heard any of their music and it may be fantastic but their name sounds like a Metalhead who finally realized classical music was cool but had to make it sound hardcore.

Well, one of the silliest names for a prog band can be found by clicking 'A' on teh archive's main page. What made these french guys think Abacab is a good name for a prog band? Shocked

Worst ever for me is from the metal band Anal c**t though...

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

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

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.
