I think "fun." is actually pretty descriptive, as they are kinda fun, but in that way where you spell it with a lowercase initial letter and full stop. Of course, it is a stupid name since back in '09 when they were less popular they were impossible to Google.

And for the record, I like the band too.

I would've preferred just "Fun". What's wrong with that?

Magic! A band I don't like, is also a bad name. Also Iwrestledabearonce (not too bad of a band though) and Dance Gavin Dance (why?) Okay, names I like, where to begin?

  • Falling In Reverse is kind of cool, even though I don't care for their music.
  • Imagine Dragons, because the name is an anagram of something no one but the band knows. Interesting surprised
Can't think of much more.

Didn't the band forget what it was an anagram of?

This band counts for having the strangest name ever, they still sound AWESOME.

I wouldn't say the strangest, but definitely hilarious.[lol]

Fartbarf is a pretty bad name.

Might as well just post this here and let anyone that wants to click it be the judge on where it fits.

I like "Nine Inch Nails" and "The Chasm" because they just sound awesome. "The Who" gets points for being clever too. (it also helps that I like those three bands a lot.)

"Feefer" and "Arsonists Get All the Girls" are the stupidest band names I've ever heard.

"Meat Shits" and "Scum Bitch" are trying to be offensive but failing.

[up][up] I honnestly can't tell whether "Butthole Surfers" is the worst or most awesome band name ever. evil grin

Let's all agree that the weirdest band name around is Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate). They're a quality band, but that name is just strange. And yes, I know why they're called that.

We have a local band named "Have You Ever Seen the Jane Fonda VHS?", which they occasionally shorten to the 'handy' "HYESTJFVHS?".

Listened to Butthole Surfers, The Jesus Lizard and Rapeman before. Great bands for those who like gritty, raw sound. Butthole Surfers also throw in a great deal of psychedelia (all the lyrics sound like they have been written on weed, too).

Surprisingly, I never thought of the name "The Jesus Lizard" as offensive. My first thought was "I hope it's not one of those wacky-wacky random You Tube kahmedy bands".

I don't think off it as offensive either. Mainly since it's an actual animal.

I think 'The Uncluded' is pretty clever.

Deth Leopard is probably one of the stupidest ones I've come across on my own.

I've heard stuff like Anal Cunt and Impaled Nazarene (not to mention Rotting Christ!) before, but CRUCIFUCKS?! It's So Bad, It's Good! And it's less cheesy than the cheap squick themes going on in grindcore bands (once, I jokingly said that "Nasal Defecation" would be a great grindcore band name, referring to my oft-used phrase "...so hard they'll shit through their nose").

My least favourite band name is definitely Pavement. Can't think of anything blander than that. There are loads of one-word band names that have at least some flavour to them, and on the "zero" end of the flavour scale there's freakin' Pavement. Even Cracker sounds more interesting.

There should be a band named "Ball". That'd be the blandest name of them all.

Can't believe I never thought to put this here: there's a guy out there who basically makes house music calling himself "Yung Bae". Like, even for the genre you work in, that's the worst name ever.

The blandest band name I've ever heard is a 70s soft rock band named Bread. I've never heard any of their songs, but I imagine they are also incredibly bland. I mean, the "white bread" jokes write themselves!

[up]Ugh. Just ugh.

[up]Another cringe-worthy name in that genre is [Japanese text I can't type]SUPERSEX420. Thankfully, that's as bad as it gets, unless you wanna count "DJ iTunes".
