Their debut album "This Is A Call From A Debt Collector" reached #1 in Japan and the United Kingdom but stalled at #50 in the United States.

* EvilerThanThou: A death metal band famous for dressing up as famous movie villains. The lead singer is Darth Vader, voice and everything, with Sauron on bass, Darth Maul on guitar, and Agent Smith on drums.

* FanService: Can you say "cabaret"?

There have also been reports of audience members mooning the band members, which they don't mind one bit.

* GasMaskMooks: A mashup of an industrial act and a marching band in the aesthetic of "Martial Industrial". The band consists of seven constant members and a few more guest ones, [[RevolvingDoorBand and the lineup has changed over a dozen times]], but since they always perform in their GasMaskLongcoat ensembles, few people manage to notice unless you tell them about it. Their shows often feature military-themed gimmicks, such as mortars firing pyrotechnics in the air or air defense searchlights being used to illuminate the stage, and [[BrokenBase their lyrics are divisive]] [[PoesLaw since nobody can quite figure out]] if their message is "WarIsHell" or "WarIsGlorious".

* GlassCannon: Their songs glorify kitschy sculptures. Notable for only using hand-blown instruments with "cannon art," meaning that they used nothing but a cannon-shaped xylophone, cannon-emblazoned glasses and bottles filled with varying amounts of liquid, and a glass gong with an actual cannonball in the center for 5 years before getting more instruments. Their biggest hit is a cover of the 1812 overture, plus lyrics, which usually either crushes or pierces the guitarist's right foot in the end.
* AGodAmI: A narcissistic "band" that consists only of one man (the lead singer from ThoseWackyNazis, naturally) screaming into a microphone about how great he is. There are mirrors on stage at all times.[[note]]Also, ''A God Is I'' is an album title by metalcore-hardcore band Merauder.[[/note]]

* GoldenSaucer: Another sci-fi prog band. Don't like being called Golden Shower.

Some people think DeniedFoodAsPunishment pushed them into the decision.
* JustPlaneWrong:
** ''WesternAnimation/JayJayTheJetPlane'' nerd rock, where all of the band members are dressed as the show's main characters, and the lyrics defy all aeronautical logic. Originally named ArtisticLicensePhysics, but when ArtisticLicenseMilitary[='s=] manager sent them a cease and desist order, they changed their name.

Their next album, ''OurDragonsAreDifferent'' (2006) also reached number 1, but at a slower rate. Their [[DarkerAndEdgier darkest]] album yet, ''OutOfTheInferno'' (2008) has become both a hit and a major point of disagreement amongst the band.

* KingInTheMountain: Hard Celtic rock, sort of like Boiled in Lead.

* JadedWashout: An emo band [[ColorMotif whose members dress all in jade green]], all of whom play washboard.
* JerkassSue: An all-girl band with punk overtones, but whose music has been watered down for commercial radio play. Think Avril Lavigne.
* JesusWasWayCool: Its members are all secular and have never read more than a few pages of the Bible, but nonetheless try to emulate ChristianRock - [[ArtisticLicenseReligion keyword being "try"]]. Their wacky inaccuracies can veer into SoBadItsGood territory.
* JoinedYourParty: EDM music meant to be played at raves.
* JokeItem: A middle-aged couple who write comedy songs together.
* TheJuggernaut: American speedcore band. You can't hear the lyrics because of the metal growl and severely overkicked drum machine, but they all revolve around a giant living planet that the lead singer [[ConspiracyTheorist thinks actually exists.]]
* JumpingTheShark:
** '60s-influenced rock whose first single was titled "I Fell in Love With You From Across the Aquarium Hall".
** Alternatively, a band that does covers of unpopular songs by popular artists.
* JunglePrincess: Vaguely jazzy electronica that makes extensive use of sampled sounds, including human voices singing nonsense words in close harmony.
* JustHereForTheFreeSnacks: Pop music. Legend has it, they only show up to DinnerAndAShow concerts to eat. They only released one album, ''IWasToldThereWouldBeCake'', and then disbanded after DinnerAndAShow no longer held concerts in their city. Some people think DeniedFoodAsPunishment pushed them into the decision.
* JustPlaneWrong:
** ''WesternAnimation/JayJayTheJetPlane'' nerd rock, where all of the band members are dressed as the show's main characters, and the lyrics defy all aeronautical logic. Originally named ArtisticLicensePhysics, but when ArtisticLicenseMilitary[='s=] manager sent them a cease and desist order, they changed their name.

Their next album, ''OurDragonsAreDifferent'' (2006) also reached number 1, but at a slower rate. Their [[DarkerAndEdgier darkest]] album yet, ''OutOfTheInferno'' (2008) has become both a hit and a major point of disagreement amongst the band.

* KingInTheMountain: Hard Celtic rock, sort of like Boiled in Lead.
