I was just reading the Blazin Squad thread, and recalled how rubbish I thought their name was when I first heard about them (my opinion hasnt changed by the way ). Easily worst band name of 2002? (although I guess maybe da kids are down wid it).

Anyway, anyone got an opinion on what are the worst band names ever?

Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick and Tich from the 60s was pretty bad.

The recent glut of reality pop bands have had some dodgy names - Hear'say, One True Voice and Girls Aloud

And why did Hear'say put in the superfluous apostrophe?

What about Phixx?

Wet wet wet, Take That, Blur, Dizee Rascal (not a band,I know)
It's probably easier to name the bands with good names

I would say that they were both quite good band names!

Nine one one is the number you dial for the emergency services in the US.

But I don't know why they called themselves that.

If you want to know some dreadful names just go onto Teletext 352 and read the letters on there. People praise groups with the most amazingly stupid names.

I don't think Marillion's name has done them any favours, to be honest!

What about some of those crappy old death metal bands from the early 90s, like Cannibal Corpse? Or NWOBHM, like Vardis? And currently Hoobastank and Biffy Clyro.....

Oh, and A**l C**t (fill in the stars as you want )

Pretentious indie band names are the worst. Closely followed by 'hard' names adopted by metal and rap bands to disguise their lack of talent.

My personal favourite, from the Derbyshire indie scene of the mid-Nineties, is Faeries Of This Transient Existence. Utter tosh.

Don't knock 'The Mynci'.

They're tops.

These death/doom metal monickers are downright wanky...

An*l C*nt
Cancer
Circle of Dead Children
Aborted
Cock and Ball Torture
Prosthetic C*nt

Bet they're big and hard and drink blood and stuff.
