Death Cab for Cutie
Pretty Girls Make Graves
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

    I love the music, but I always thought Mother Love Bone was a stupid name.

    Limp Bizkit. Possibly the worst band name ever conceived.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits

    a nod to the smiths could never be stupid.

    And who knows what they call themselves now?
    Which came first,
    the bad idea or me befallen by it?

    Ok, obviously nobody cares LOL. The answer is of course Finger 11, yet another dumbass name.

    Goo Goo Dolls. In this case the band may suck even more than the name.

    I love 'The' bands!

    Every band starting with 'The' is sure to be great!

    I love the name Mudhoney. It doesn't mean much to me, I just like the sound of it.

    heheh... I don't like the name Pearl Jam... It's the only thing I don't like about the band.

    I think Gov't Mule is a great name. It is a reference to the American government's promise of 40 acres and a mule to former slaves.

    I have to agree with all the "The" bands having lame names. Mostly because these bands suck as it is.

    Or just dumb ass "indie" band names. Tapes n' Tapes? Shit . . .

    I like "the white stripes" for a band name. And I also dig that all their posters, videos, etc revolve around black, red, and white.

    I've always like Pearl Jam as a band name. Doesn't mean shit, but I think it sounds cool.

    Awful band names imo:
    Cake
    The Guess who
    Ham Sandwich
    The Hold Steady
    I'll Ride The Wave Where It Takes Me

    I think "Panic At The Disco" is pretty idiotic.
