Here's some to get us started: http://www.maximonline.com/slideshows/index.aspx?imgCollectId=131&src=gx1100

 

[GibsonGirl]

Echo and the Bunnymen definitely belong there. Great band, shit name.

 

[U2Man]

u2

 

[redhotswami]

How about Zoloft the Rock and Roll Destroyer?

 

[bono_man2002]

"The Legs" and "The Real Johnny Casino" take the cake for me.

 

[HelloAngel]

Fall Out Boy and Panic! At the Disco

 

[LMP]

Anal Cunt

 

[If you shout...]

The Dayglo Abortions...

...although Feed Us A Fetus and Two Dogs Fucking are actually listenable albums.

 

[pepokiss]

Limp Bizkit
Has no one learned from Def Leppard that merely misspelling an uncool word won't make it cool? If this was a Durst demand, the others should have taken the highway in lieu of him getting his way.
Our Suggestion: Shit Said Fred

as I'm not an american or US citizen, I really don't understand this...

 

[Jack In The Box]

Fall Out Boy is a great name, but their music sucks

 

[Auhiz]

'Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel' must be up (or down) there.

Not to mention a band name that almost but never was, 'Mike Hunt's Honorable Discharge'.

 

[bayernfc]

Arctic Monkeys!

 

[U2DMfan]

as I'm not an american or US citizen, I really don't understand this...

Biscuit

 

[impy13]

My new cocksucker of a roommate listens to nothing but death metal. One of his choice artists: Cattle Decapitation.

He's only my roommate for a few more weeks, thankfully. Science be praised!

I always liked the name Echo and The Bunnymen.

It conjurs up great mental imagery.

Snow Patrol is a really dumb name.

 

[U2Man]

radiohead could have chosen a better name.

 

[If you shout...]

radiohead could have chosen a better name.

Leave the Talking Heads out of this, damn it!

 

[pgv]

Alexisonfire, is that pronounced 'alex is on fire' or 'alexis on fire' ?
And I think Coldplay is pretty stupid too

 

[angelordevil]

Echo and the Bunnymen definitely belong there. Great band, shit name.

Maybe that's why they weren't bigger.

I'm too far in to judge...like a mother judging her precious baby. However, I've mentioned their name to other people, and I have gotten some raised eyebrows. So it's probably weird.

I'll take Toad the Wet Sprocket for 1000, Alex.

 

[1stepcloser]

There's a a small indie band in the UK simply called 'Dogs'.

 

[pepokiss]

so.. it's really LIMP BISCUIT?

what's a limp¿?



and what does def leppard has to do with anything?

 

[Canadiens1131]

Undoubtedly, Captain Beefheart!

 

[elevation2u]

Snow Patrol, Arctic Monkeys, RHCP,
My Morning Jacket,...

I've always thought those to be horrible

 

[U2Man]

coldplay

 

[Angela Harlem]

so.. it's really LIMP BISCUIT?

what's a limp¿?



and what does def leppard has to do with anything?

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.

Supertramp

April Wine
Little River Band
Badfinger
