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.

Never Google that band when you're at work.
My bloke did and questions were asked !

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.

I guess it's short for Kung-Fu fighters

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...
