 Topic: Worst prog band namePosted: November 19 2020 at 01:55 |

We soon had the polls about the best band name of the 60s/70s prog outfits and we found out that Atomic Rooster is considered the best one. But how about some really bad names that do not work that well... This time no polls, just an open discussion, and it doesn't matter from which decade the band is.

is it bands with bad names that I enjoy?
Bands with bad names in general? I could google that for a giggle, when I have some time. |

I would say both really, you might enjoy the band, you might not. But we need bands with terrible names, that's the point.

For worst band names in general, I think Garbage has one of the trashiest names.

They aren't, but Crimson Mellotron said we can choose bad band names in general too.

then this thread should not be in the prog section. I'll be honest then, I am tired of people not caring what they post, how they post and where they post.

After years of over-analyzing "What constitutes what" w labels, genres, etc., I honestly expect such consistency of disorientation lol.

The two names that immediately spring to mind are t and IT. I love the music of both, but they are near impossible to google, unless you include additional Information about what you’re looking for - which works (mostly) for albums, but anything else can be a bit of a a search for a needle in a haystack.

Yeah, names like T, 3, and so on are the worst. In close competition are prog metal bands with names like "An Abstract Illusion", i.e. tasteless combos of abstract (no pun intended) words.

well, thank you for mentioning An Abstract Illusion, I am listening right now and they are good. I'm gonna listen some more.  Also, not a bad name if you ask me.

I don’t generally have such a problem with those. An Abstract Illusion sounds alright to me. I really enjoyed Baikal this year, from Asian Death Crustacean. I’ve heard a few people that have not thought much of the name, but I really like it. Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Porcupine Tree, etc. All fine with me.

The The gets my vote too for the most boring band name, but I've never heard their music, mainly because I was put off by the name.

And then there's Giles, Giles & Fripp, who also sound like a firm of solicitors.
