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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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).

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.

9.- Someone (Alguien).
10.- Nuclear man (Hombre nuclear).

Yeah, its the name of an English guy during the Industrial Revolution. I am right!

He did improve the plow, so you are also right as well.

Jethro Tull has to be one of the worst names ever.  Even worse, according to Wikipedia this is where that name comes from:

"Band names were often supplied by the staff of their booking agents, one of whom, a history buff, eventually christened them Jethro Tull after the 18th-century agriculturist who invented the seed drill."

Seed drills huh.  LOL.

Also ELP and Happy the Man come to mind.

But I like Symphony X.  Short and simple and makes you wonder what kind of music they play.  Not cheesy at all Tongue
