I submit Anal Cunt
I’m thinking about bands where I wouldn’t wear their shirt in public despite liking the band.
Lamb of God was originally “Burn the priest” which while very metal, could be awkward in public.
Other notable mentions are Snapped Ankles, Pissed Jeans, Wet leg, and the Cherry poppin daddies.
Cherry Poppin’ Daddies
Relevant Todd in the Shadows that came out just a few days ago.
I like the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies tribute band, the Hymen Bustin Fathers
I remember when I was a pre teen and I wanted a Limp Bizkit CD for Christmas, my mother said that the name of the band sounded vulgar and she wouldn’t get it for me. Instead she got me a Cherry Poppin’ Daddies CD… Smh
I’m sure it was never about the band name. She probably heard Limp Bizkit on the radio and later in the day heard “Zoot Suit Riot” and was like “I know what will make my son fit in at Middle School. Big band swing music”
Sigh…
“It’s swing music so it’s okay” was probably what she thought
They’re still touring, too!
But they played at the Super Bowl halftime show once so they are okay /s
Did they really? That may have been peak 90s
Jimmy Eat World should be part of the conversation due to their acronym.
Who ever called them J.E.W.? Or when did they ever use that acronym themselves?
Perhaps tried to and then realised
Or The Band.
Amazing band though
The Band
Honestly one of the best! An excellent lyricist and songwriter as well - although a little heavy handed on the harmonica.
Hoobastank
Butthole Surfers have not been mentioned yet?
Yeah, the title of the thread is worst names ever. That’s on an orthogonal axis with most likely to make an 11 year old boy giggle
hey… i was a butthead in the 90s.
For some reason they’re always intertwined in my head with another terribly named band, Diarrhea Planet.
Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs. Such a pain in the arse when you have to refer to them.
There was a band called Pigface for a bit who were actually good
I think it is a bit funny to see this question, I was in a thread just now finding out there is a band named Xavlegbmaofffassssitimiwoamndutroabcwapwaeiippohfffx And apparently is it a abbreviation for “Acidic Vaginal Liquid Explosion Generated by Mass Amounts of Filthy Fecal Fisting and Sadistic Septic Syphilic Sodomy Inside the Infected Maggot Infested Womb of a Molested Nun Dying Under the Roof of a Burning Church While a Priest Watches and Ejaculates in Immense Perverse Pleasure Over His First Fresh Fetus”,
Or for short, The Aristocrats
Or as they call it in the Vatican, “Tuesday.”
Holy, and I thought “Vöedtæmhtëhactått” was bad
queen is actually a bunch of guys
Oh honey, Freddie was a bigger Queen than Elizabeth, Danaerys, and Latifah rolled into one.
Next you’re gonna tell me The Police isn’t a group of cops
no they are real police, they watch every step you take
every move you make, they’ll be watching you.
That played concerts at sun city in apartheid south Africa and have heavily glossed over the fact afterwards
It’s probably one of those ironic names, but Psychedelic Porn Crumpets always makes me die a little when I’m trying to tell people about 'em. Great band, dumb name.
The band öOoOoOoOoOo is a bit unwieldy.
Supposedly pronounced as “caterpillar” in whatever language you prefer.
IMO, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard has an awfully high good band/dumb name differential
Imagine Dragons
That’s the one i was thinking of - for anybody who hasn’t heard of them: that’s not the band name. That’s the acronym of the band name. Each one of those letters belongs to a word
panic! at the disco
If you’re a Rust developer
