Tuesday Weld 10-16-2005, 05:19 PM How about - Snot Saliva :lol: ABlairican Pie 10-16-2005, 05:45 PM Bubble Puppy Stone Temple Pilots wouldn't sound so dumb if it wasn't taken from what the band USED to call itself. ;) That Petrol Emotion Prefab Sprout ABlairican Pie 10-16-2005, 05:49 PM How about - Snot Saliva :lol: And let's not forget Seattle punk legends, The Fartz!! :lol: Yep, Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan used to play with them. They used to spell their name with the red "A" with a circle symbol (stands for anarchy) in their logo, so when their name was printed in the local mags, they were spelled "The F@rtz". :fart: Steve M. 10-16-2005, 09:05 PM Some would vote for the Band. How 'bout this one - "Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Micky andf Tich!" That's an actual sixties British group from Wiltshire that , for obvious reasons, never made it in the States. :lol: Ireneparalegal 10-16-2005, 10:19 PM :confused: Nuff said: Courtnee 10-16-2005, 11:06 PM :confused: Nuff said: What about "Snap"? musicradio77 10-16-2005, 11:07 PM These were some of the dumbest bands in history starting with the doo-wop groups: 1.

Steve M. 10-25-2005, 10:19 PM The Group With No Name! :lol: This was a seventies band that was briefly signed to Casablanca Records thanks to Gene Simmons. One of its members was future TV star Katey Sagal! :eek: musicradio77 10-26-2005, 10:57 PM What about Johnny Maestro & the Brooklyn Bridge? Steve M. 10-30-2005, 09:57 PM There's also Badly Drawn Boy and Death Cab for Cutie. A lot of 80's "alternative" bands like Love and Rockets had dumb names. ABlairican Pie 10-31-2005, 01:54 AM There's also Badly Drawn Boy and Death Cab for Cutie. A lot of 80's "alternative" bands like Love and Rockets had dumb names.Death Cab For Cutie are a local alternative pop band that's kind of local here in Washington. The name Love and Rockets were named after a comic book. I thought Johnny Hates Jazz was a lame name. I'm not fond of band names that are more like sentences, like And You Will Know Us By the Trail of the Dead.

ABlairican Pie 11-13-2005, 02:53 PM My bands name is The Outer Limit...What do you guys think of that name?It's cool because not only was it a great show on t.v. in the 60's and 90's, but because Canadian metal band Voivod did an album of the same name in 1993. Pug Lover 11-13-2005, 10:23 PM I was browsing through the cassettes at a thrift store and I saw a tape, and the band's name was called The The.:eek: THE THE?:eek: What the hell kind of band name is that? One of the worst band names. :rolleyes: I couldn't agree with you more.THE THE is the stupidest band name I've ever heard.It doesn't make any sense.What was this band thinking?:crazy: Steve M. 11-13-2005, 10:27 PM Some dumb names from the psychedelic sixties: The Chocolate Watchband It's A Beautiful Day ABlairican Pie 11-14-2005, 12:38 AM I couldn't agree with you more.THE THE is the stupidest band name I've ever heard.It doesn't make any sense.What was this band thinking?:crazy:When I heard the name in the 80's, I thought it was the most clever name in the world! THE THE!!!!! Obviously you guys have never heard of them, they're very good. :cool: A band's name doesn't have to make sense. But, as Derek Smalls of Spinal Tap has said, "There's a fine line between clever and stupid." By the way, anyone heard of the legendary British band of the 60's, Polka Tulk? Courtnee 11-14-2005, 06:16 PM It's A Beautiful Day That one sounds cool to me :snob: seventies_sitcoms 11-14-2005, 07:32 PM Jimmie's Chicken Shack Color Me Badd Right Said Fred Cat Butt Cycle Sluts From Hell Nashville ***** Sandy Duncan's Eye Butthole Surfers Swingin' Udders Mister Mister Faster Pussycat Bullet Boys Princess Tinymeat Low Meato Dead milkmen Toilet Boys My Dad Is Dead Lungfish Squirrel Nut Zippers Strawberry Alarm Clock Pink Lady Kaptain Kool and the Kongs Fanny Starland Vocal Band Shanks and Bigfoot Yeastie Girls Janice Johnson 11-15-2005, 11:20 AM Jimmie's Chicken Shack Yeastie Girls YEASTIE Girls?
