Some new band 'Royworld' surely take the biscuit for this one. The Ting Tings, another one. Add to that Coldplay, Starsailor, Limp Bizkit....

"Working for a nucelar free city" is probably the worst I heard in a long time, decent band kinda chil out electro but god awful name. Heres is ther myspace page http://www.myspace.com/wfanfc
Louise Woodward and the Shaken Babies
:o
Babyshambles, The Pigeon Detectives, Dogs Die In Hot Cars, British Sea Power are just a few of the top of my head. Indie bands really take the biscuit for bad names.
Death Cab For Cutie, Bullet For My Valentine, Fallout Boy, there's a treasure chest of rubbish names to be found in the emo section of your local HMV. Loved old skool Cork hip hopper the Lyrical Assassin as well :D
I actually quite like Louise Woodward and the Shaken Babies :)
Funeral for a Friend is a horrific name too. Indie bands have some appaling names as mentioned, a few more.. the Kooks, Razorlight,....

And what about Longford band The Aftermath, Pauro? Don't be so judas. :D
Ah yeah I forgot about them! And a rare quite good band name with 'The' in it.Quote:

What ever happend to them?
The The, The Band, and A are shamefully bad, lazy band names in my opinion. Crazy Penis is a shamefully vulgar name, as is The F'uck Buttons (the latter are excellent mind you). Oh and Basement Jaxx conjures shamefully rancid images!
:D seen them liveQuote:

There is/was a band called Wastelife, don't think they were a tribute band though :DQuote:

Having been (re)cultured by Jebus - I had become uncouth over the past few years - I was listening to a jazz compilation last night when my humour sensors were activated. Name of the band? The one, and presumably only, 'Claudia And Brazilian Octopus'. :D
We've got a Fuzzbox and we're gonna use it

The Band
IMO the best and most apt name that any group ever used.
Not only is "The Ting Tings" a shamful name, there a shameful band. they've ruined music for 2008. But the new Oasis album due to be released in september will save 2008 music :)
If you think that The Band is a lazy name , i suspect you may be quiet young and don't the history behind it... if you're over 40 then you simply don't know your music history...suggest you check out a book called " Accross the great divide" , which IMO not only tells the story of the members of The Band and how the name came about but is also one of the best histories of the Woodstock (not the festival but the town and it's inhabitants)/Dylan/60's eraQuote:

I agree. The hype regarding them has gone too far. 'Thats Not My Name' the most annoying single this year. 'Shut Up and Let Me Go' is possibly worse. How on earth did they get so much hype?Quote:
