Just listening to Death cub for cutie, thinking how great they are but how awful their name is, what a shame this is! It had taken me till last year to properly listen to Killing Joke, love them now but the name always put me off.
Obviously this is highly subjective (ain't a lot if things!) but I was wondering if you can think of more bands that you like, but hate their name?
It goes without saying that for me New Model Army is a cracking name - then as now, actually does anyone not think much of the name?
-
i like the name killing joke. it was probably more the pop stuff that didn't allow me to listen to them
the levellers is a terrible name
-
The Beatles... the biggest band in music history and their name was a stupid pun... ::)
-
a ha
-
I like the Candyskins but don't like the name. Sounds kinky, though.
-
Fields of the fracking Nephilim - try typing that into youtube when you've had a few ;D
-
the clash
-
Queens of the stone age
Brilliant band bit of a strange name
Tool another brilliant band can be difficult to search for stuff on the net without getting drills etc n then you get a holes calling you a tool when your wearing a t shirt

red hot chilli peppers
what a terrible name

Masters of reality

This is a classic example of a name suiting a band when they started but that they then grew out of, there must be loads of these. The Beatles is a fine example, a crapy pun that became a mega successful, mature and quite experimental (at times) band.

Strange thing is that i love the name Killing Joke but the music is not really my thing. I have tried it several times too.
I also like "Queens of the Stone Age" as well. i must do some thinking.
For me it's "Fleet Foxes" but there is a reason. There is a brand of enema called fleet in the states and I sort of associate the word with poop.
Also "Foo Fighters" WT-actual-F does that even mean?
I recently learned there was once a band called "Butthole Surfers". There should not be a band called and I wish i could get the image out of me head forever. However the song that I heard was not bad nor was it about surfing on someone's butthole. It would have to be a David and Goliath scenario for that to really work.

I guess it's short for Kung-Fu fighters
Gay Dad is one that springs to mind.

Killing joke just feels like a too obvious and heavy handed name for a band. I believe It may be partly inspired by this wonderful Monty python sketch:

Just seems like a real clumsy name to me, I can imagine coming up with it when I was 15 or something. It's funny though, personal taste in names and the personal associations with them. I've been in a few bands and we could never agree on a name :o

Smashing pumpkins :o

Ouch, yes!

Yes never Google Sex gang children, BIG mistake - great band though!

Billy Talent
Hahaha yes! First time I saw that name I was sure it had to be a joke.
This may be unpopular, but I hate the name Revolting Cocks. It just makes me not want to listen to their music, even though my husband tells me they're great.

Gay Dad is one that springs to mind.
'Foo Fighters' was what they called UFO's back in the forties / fifties... I think. I've picked up a lot of useless trivia over the years, some of it might have got mixed up in my rapidly ageing noggin...
Gay Dad... truly terrible name, but were they a great band? I seem to remember they were enormously fashionable in the UK.. for about ten minutes... :(
