With the exceptions of Kansas, UK and Oregon, bands named after geographical locations SUCK big time!
 
Bands named after baby talk (Kajagoogoo, Wah Wah Nee) are abominable!
 
Bands using interjections aren't any better (WHAM!)
 
Bands that misspell words and use "boys" or "girls"  or "kids" in the name
 
Band names that sound like a law firm (Emerson Lake & Palmer, Bruce Lordan and Trower, West Bruce & Lang)
 
ALL rap/hip-hop names just plain suck, 'nuff said.
 
Other awful band names:
 
The Flower Kings
INXS
Pendragon
The The
Frankie Goes To Hollywood
999
Flock of Seagulls
Cirith Ungol
Sigue Sigue Sputnik

People are puzzled why I don't dig the Stones, well, I listened to the Stones, I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and--I Can't Get No Satisfaction!

I like them, King of the Dead is a proto-doom classic. Although their heyday was in the 80es, they sounded like a band in the early 70s. Not to mention the beautiful fantasy cover paintings by Michael Whelan.

Spock's Beard is also a candidate. And what about Yes?

The band name actually is not that bad. It is taken from "Lord of the Rings".

Pain of Salvation. It sounds kinda wrong, not that its bad as in stupid but bad as in im scared to give it a try. Like i think it's some kinda evil music Big%20smile.
1 Chronicles 13:7-9

Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.

Sounds to me like it's part of a sentence.  that only part of it was used.  Can't say I like the band, but the name's ok by my book.

LOL  I've actually listened to Cattle Decaptiation.  But the last mentioned had me giggling quite a bit here.  Oh, and I just put out some Swedish grind on the metal wall here at Mellotronen.  Charming little band name.  Arsedestroyer.  GOLD I tell ya! hahahahaha.
