Worst prog band name.

Barclay James Harvest (BJH) and all those 3 letter "abbreviation bands"
elp, elo...
Yes (Roger Dean's logo is pretty cool and I like some of their albums)
Asia (nice logo and artwork too but extremely boring music)

however the most stupid names can be found in metal music ;-)

By the way, your quote is a slightly misquoted Niels Bohr quote. He stated: "There are trivial truths and the great truths. The opposite of a trivial truth is plainly false. The opposite of a great truth is also true."

"Amon" (or in some spellings "Ammon") is an ancient Egyptian God with the horns of a ram. "Düül" is a character from Turkish literature. And the "2" simply stems from the fact that the original Amon Düül split up, and those who left added the "2" to distinguish themselves from the others.

Actually one just might:

"10cc" as well as "The Loving Spoonful". Both names refer to the average volume of the ejaculate as the result of a male orgasm.

Yes, the name comes from that but I have to give my (I think) expert opinion on that. Let me explain: it's not that I'm an expert in male ejaculates (I only know about my own, at least since I was a teenager and did some competitions with friends), but that I'm a physiologist, with some expertise in reproductive physiology, and I can tell you for sure that the volume is very variable, but seldom bigger than 5 cc.
I'm sure if most of my male fellow forum members were given a 10cc container and asked to fill it they would be really scared after looking at its size. Oh, by the way, size doesn't really matters...

So yes, those might be the most stupid band names ever...

I always knew men were exaggerating, no wonder I'm a lesbian.

The Flower Kings have by far the worst name...and they wonder why they have trouble attracting a wider audience?  Tool is also in this day and age a painful name for them to have chosen seeing as homosexuals are branded that through slang.  And c'mon, Pain of Salvation?  That's cringe-worthy as well.   

I happen to think the Mars Volta is a good name; in an explanation (for those who don't know) the founders said volta is a word an Italian director used meaning constant change, and mars comes from both their obsession with sci-fi elements and as the god/ddess(? i forget which) of war...why not? 

Note: I enjoy all these bands.
