Peter & The Test Tube Babies

"Bud" Is another band I've heard of...with a bad name.

 

[pepokiss]

limp means soggy, not rigid. in terms of limp bizkit, i've always thought of it as a biscuit which was dunked in coffee or whatever.

def leppard is deaf leopard when spelled correctly.

both bands have taken the phonetic spelling and tried to be cool with it; which is a bit stupid if you stare at it for long enough.

THANKS




and.. THE BLACK EYED PEAS...


WHY IN THE BLUE HELL does peas have eyes?

 

[bono_212]

torper

 

[GibsonGirl]

I dunno, it reminds me of UB40, which is...bad...

 

[Jack In The Box]

UB40 is bad because is hard to remember

or I just have a memory problem?

 

[LyricalDrug]

Some bad names:

Korn
Creed
Cinderella
Prince
Winger
A-ha
Culture Club

Some awesome names:
the Killers
the Strokes
the Bank Robbers
the Velvet Underground
Guns N' Roses (except for the N' bit)
the Clash

 

[elevation2u]

hmm it never reminded me of UB40...mostly cause I never think of them...what they do that Red Wine song?

i'm personally a little tired of all the The bands nowadays...though I do like
The Strokes
The White Stripes
The Mars Volta

 

[Saracene]

Elbow
New Pornographers
The The

 

[impy13]

I'm not going to bother to check if any of these have been said already:

Hoobastank
Staind
Linkin Park
INXS
I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness
Oingo Boingo
Wham
Papa Roach
System Of A Down
Bowling for Soup
Butthole Surfers
Apples In Stereo
Barenaked Ladies

Coincidentally, all of those bands suck.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

- Veruca Salt

Oddly, right after opening this thread, when I was going through my music library to check for bad band names, I ran across Veruca Salt and thought "that's a good name!"

INXS

I always thought "INXS" was pretty brilliant


I don't think anyone's mentioned Puddle of Mudd yet though.


And this whole thread reminds me of this:

Oh and the black eyed peas were only called "The Peas"....that was until Jack Bauer heard their music

 

[hcbiggs2002]

Panic! At The Disco is a stupid name, i love their music but what a shit name they should just be called Panic

Veruca Salt

INXS is a great name, i never really knew why its called that but i think its a great name

 

[elevation2u]
