    Shameful band names

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

    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

    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,....

    We have to be "the" something. All the great sixties bands were "The Somethings"
    said Jimmy Rabbitte, and I happen to agree.

    And what about Longford band The Aftermath, Pauro? Don't be so judas.

    Ah yeah I forgot about them! And a rare quite good band name with 'The' in it.

    Unlike The Smiths or The Rolling Stones for example. Or The Clash, or The Sex Pistols. Or The Wailers. Or The Kinks. Or The Jesus & Mary Chain...

    My offerings: Of Montreal (just the name mind), My Morning Jacket, Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong.
    more bass
