    Most disappointing band name

    Narrow one this, but simple question all the same.

    What's the most disappointing band name you've heard? And why?
    Not the worst band; the worst name, the most misleading, most ill-advised, most ill-fitting or whatever.

    Was listening to a couple of tunes from Bedouin Soundclash which got me thinking of this.
    Not that the music is bad, it isn't. Just I was expecting another Asian Dub Foundation, or maybe something along the lines of Transglobal Underground, not semi-acoustic sing-alonga-tunes. Thought the name just did not fit.

    Experimental Pop Band, for some reason I was expecting another Japanese tinged British guitar pop band, along the lines of Bis or Dweeb, but they were just a pretty poor indie band. Disappointing to say the least as I do love myJapanese tinged British guitar pop bands

    Urban Legend:While they were relatively unknown they went to the USA to do a gig and loads of "stoners" showed up expecting a heavily drug influenced band but they got Big Tom & the boys.

    Ha ha...brill! My mum was in hospital 2 weeks ago & we were up visiting her one evening and Big Tom was in visiting a lady in the bed across from her. We tried to get my son to go ask for his autograph for the craic but he wouldnt!

    I remember one from a long time ago about them being stopped by customs on the way into the US, on account of their name, and searched for drugs. Rather personally!

    Stereolab, Stereo Total. They work for me.

    U2 is good in a visual 'brand' sense. But that's about it.

    Always thought Metallica a very corny name.

    Likewise The Who.

    Likewise The Wedding Present.

    Only bothering with bands I like.

    Fully agree with sentiments about bands with audio, radio, stereo etc...
