Isn't about better band is it? It's about better name.

I agree though.

Big D and the Kids Table, I have no clue why but that name pisses me off.

turbo negro

The The
Murder by Death
and if i was honest - The Bled

Reggie and the Full Effect
Hot Hot Heat

Air
Bright Eyes
Death From Above 1979
The Flaming Lips

Nirvana

Why?

any band name that's an acronym, any band name that's a 1 syllable word followed by a number, any band name that's an adverb followed by "youth"

I like the old name, it's terrible with the year on the end though. Like unoriginal e-mail addresses.

James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem allegedly already has a DFA and told them to change their name.

-AC

thats the one.
although to be fair i've never heard a release from his DFA - might be just me

well triple V:
Wasted Youth, Dead Youth, Young Youth (aka Husker Du), White Suburban Youth, Sonic Youth, Ciccone Youth (technically still sonic youth), and though they don't really count, i'm still gonna list them since they suck so much....Youth of Today.

Ah...not adverbs though.

Also, It's VVD.

Feable Weiner.

i heard my mates band for the first time today...good sound...terrible TERRIBLE name...tartan riot...

Hootie and the Blowfish & Hoobastank

Off the top of my head I'd say Rhapsody.

That name makes me want to massacre a city. Don't ask why, it just does.

Yeah, Hoobastank is quite poor.

My chemical romance is the worst name for a band ... is like a shaskespeare book????

A Fire Inside (AFI)
Hoobastank
Simple Plan
Good Charlotte
Green Day
KoRn

Didn't read much Shakespeare did you?

dont look like it

doesnt look like he has a brain either.

HIM, and what it stands for is just ridiculous.

Limp Bizkit is also obscenely devoid of merit. Or meaning.

there's a local band here called Phimosis which would be gross and funny if more than 2% of people actually knew what phimosis was

Possibly the most inspired name ever.

I know shakespeare... and read his too!!!!

Good Charlotte
My Chemical Romance
Funeral For A Friend
Bullet For My Valentine
Limp Bizkit
Elbow
Papa Roach
Ween
Lamb Of God
From Autumn To Ashes
Maximo Park
Boy Kill Boy
Dresden Dolls

The worst one of all time has to be "The Wedding Present". What an utterly shit name.

Some sound like song names, others are just plain crap.

Hahaha. Elbow. I forgot that one.

Not that bad. Boring yes, but it can hardly compete with ''Boy Kill Boy''.

Good band anyway, very British, but good.

Slipknot

"Hanson is Murder

Me First and The gimme Gimme's...but what should we expect from a cover band..

Green Day is to do with sitting around smoking pot.

Limp Bizkit is best left unexplained.

greenDay should be the name of a holiday where you smoke weed all day.

4/20

Kajagoogoo

The Click five youre just asking to be called boy band.. even though they are

Hey! I think Taking Back Sunday's a great name!

I don't.......

And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead...

I think that's the name of them. It's too damn long for me to even remember.

B2k... ugh sick

sumthing to do with Weed.

Plus all the bands u listed can be concidered Punk... Punk doesn't have to make since, it doesn't need to.

The music speaks for itself.

Marcy's Playground....heh

The worst I can think of at the time is this band that's playing at my school soon: Boxelder. I have no idea where it came from, so don't ask.

Indeed, good sir!

Just to add in, Hot hot heat is one of the most shit names ever. Seriously, if it's heat, shouldn't we be able to figure that it's hot? You don't really say cold heat...

Tautology. English lesson for the day.

At least Marcy Playground has some kind of meaning to it, albeit little.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs is probably the most pointless name ever.

I really wouldn't consider "Green Day" punk, and, I have a feeling it doesn't have to do with weed.

You can go to almost any Green Day fan site and figure this one out, it means a day full of smoking pot.

wahay...someone who knows me in the real world...your band better be good next friday night or you're getting a beating

and get those trolleys collected

The Used would have to be my pick! they are a great band but there are so many bad puns on the name waiting to happen! ex. Used C.D.'s, Used T-shirts

the weathermen is a retarded name for a rap group IMO, as well as g-unit, but thats in a whole other category.

Without a doubt, the stupidest, sissiest, worst name for a band ever. They shouldn't even be allowed to reference The Simpsons because they suck so much. I just wanna slap that stupid camflouge cap of his(the singers) head.
