lojo Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 All expect Dave Matthews Band , which seems quite a sensible choice, not a pun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBassAlpha Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I always think "stickleback" when I hear "Nickelback". That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricOnBass Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Battered Wives should be in there. Tasteless name but Uganda Stomp is worth a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmchich Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I dunno why Anal **** is a dumb name. For what the band's stated aims were- insulting people and pissing people off- it was pretty much perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBollock Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) If only Bum f***ers From Hell had made it big, we could have made that list! 66Crush was probably the worst name of any band I was in. John Doe was incredibly boring. When it was suggested I thought we were going to use it as a placeholder, but it bloomin' stuck and I hated it. Fantastic band, though, gawd I miss 'em.

Clarky Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 My first band would also have qualified had we made it (some chance). Pretensious bunch of 17/18 year olds (post-Joy Division floppy fringes wearing 32-pleat Bowie trousers, electric blue chelsea boots and cavalry shirts - this was 1980) decide to follow William Burroughs 'cut up' methodology and randomly pick words from a book. The (perpetually cringe-inducing) result: sensation = grey/blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a constellation with 4 stars in it and there were 4 of us... But it's a bit wet sounding for a band that desperately wanted to be Motörhead. One band name I chose using the dictionary method (made easier because I wanted the band's name to start with an M, for some reason) I got Mandragora, which I still like. I believe there's a band called Mandragora Scream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
