Grandaddy - 'Just like the fambly cat'. Don't ask me why but that title really annoys me!
For some equally strange reason I don't like the name 'Besnard Lakes' either and had refused to listen to the band but downloaded a track of theirs by accident and now sulkingly admit they're great. Apart from the name.
Any others?
I really wish Final Fantasy's last album wasn't called "He Poos Clouds".
It's a terrible title and it makes me feel silly when I recommend it to anyone...
agreed!
American Football, because of this conversation:
Someone: What are you listening to at the moment?
Me: Alot of American Football, Kinsella own.
Someone: Nah I meant music, are Kinsella in the NFL.
Test Icicles because of this conversation:
Idiot: What are you listening to at the moment.
Me: Just relistened to the Test Icicles album, it's sooo good.
Idiot: Testicles?
And Vampire Weekend because it makes them sound metal.
^this
Here is a short list
of bands I have no interest in ever hearing, due to their names:
Fuck Buttons
Shit or Shine
Pissed jeans (or whatever)
Selfish Cunt
Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
Black Kids
Reminds me of one reading in a respectable magazine
"Neutral Milk Hotel? Why would you even investigate a band with that name?"
Agreed
Actually put me off listening to the band for a number of years
There are so many...
but I despise The Ataris, El Presidente and Bowling For Soup. Terrible names for bands and even shitter music.
Times New Viking
Font based humour is one thing but never name your band after it
I dunno about that...
I quite like it.
Font based humour
would be a great name for a band
intonation
Purely on that basis, Does it Offend You Yeah? Has to be the stupidest because it cannot form part of a music conversation with anyone but cooler-than-thou scenester.
It is very Nathan Barley
but I guess that's the point..
he shits cumulous
would have been so much better!
Raccoo-oo-oon
Foals
^
You sir, are most correct.
Pretty much all
of the bands listed in the 'Best band name you've ever heard' thread.
Wrong.
How can The 80s Matchbox B-Line Disaster be anything other than a brilliant name for a band.
oh dear
"Imagine Being Chased By A One Man Band" by Big Hair
On seconds thoughts, that might be genius
i thought i'd hate...
vampire weekend based on their name - actually quite like them! same with black kids...
Magic Numbers
can cock off.
and also...
Editors can too, what kind of frickin' name is that?
errr
Do You Like Rock Music???
end of thread
RAT:ATT:AGG
Why oh why? So annoying!
'you forgot it in people'
not sure if i like this or not.
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, My Bloody Valentine
Their names put me off listening to them for so long!
F?A??
Love the album, love GSY!BE, but what the fuck. Can't even say it.
...that didn't type out right
F#A#oo
F?A??
F sharp A sharp infinty.
Its not really that hard...
F#A# ∞
It's read F Sharp A Sharp Infinity
:(
I was hoping that " ∞ " would write the infinity symbol.
Ah well.
I really hope I'm never into !!!
How would you recommend them, or talk about them, !!! fans must hate it.
*Untitled Musical Project makes me feel stupid saying it.
*Biffy Clyro makes the band sound crap.
*Youthmovie Sountrack Strategies (Now Youthmovies fortuantely) sounds
sounds so pretentious.
Yes, its very annoying,
I love !!! (its pronounced chk chk chk by the way) I feel stupid recommending them to anyone so I only ever tell people about them over msn so I dont have to say it! :D
I know people say chk chk chk, although that sounds stupid anyway.
What do they sound like, I've never heard them before?
!!!
are ace. Not the worst name (chk chk chk is not THAT difficult to get your head round).
Neutral Milk Hotel, however. I've already stated my thoughts on this a while ago. Just... EURGH.
You wouldnt be saying this
if you'd heard how French girls pronounce it.
Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong
shit band, appropriately shit name.
^ they are
...incredibly annoying...'ting tings' is too.
!!!
Download 'Heart of Hearts', such an amazing song, anyone who says they don't like it is lying! :D
never heard anything by this band
they could be amazing but they have such a shit name.
Sukpatch
is a truly godawful name for a band.
They also have the dubious accolade of having the shite-est band logo - it's basically the old BBC Micro's owl logo. Intellectual property lawyers take note.
i agree with all of the above, but also....
the boy least likely to (pathetic)
stadium arcadium (shite)
hoobastank (they even explained the name on tv and it made them sound like even bigger cocks than before . (its who's butt stinks?) rubbish eh)
this is annoying me, cos im constantly saying 'what the fuck sort of a name is that!?', but now i cant think of shit
sun(((O
or whatever it is. i just don't want to hear it. plus it reminds me of (hed)Pe which is also total pants.
Onka's Big Mocca
ouch
they were realllllly shit too!
the album after it was called
'magic hotel' or something insufferably shit like that.
i hate
that name
just try to recommend
Gorky's Zygotic Mynci to anyone!
i got very irritated by all this
Palace
Palace Brothers
Palace Songs
Palace Music
Palace Soundtrack
Palace Live
'Rather Ripped'
.
'If You Tolerate This
Your Children Will Be Next' is a terrible, terrible song title. Makes me cringe every time I hear it.
Kick Up The Fire, And Let The Flames Break Loose
...oh dear
I disagree.
What's wrong with it exactly?
Ive been having a...
...Cooper Temple Clause revival lately. I really like this album. Up until about track 8....
That's brilliant!
Plus it's a line from an early Philip Larkin poem, which only makes it all the more brilliant.
Detwiije - Would You Rather be Followed by Forty Ducks for the Rest of Your Life?
Quite nice bit of post-rock, but how the hell do you pronounce the name?? Album title's rather crap as well.
det-wee-yeh
Would be my guess.
^ correct
Radiohead.
Terrible name for a band. Why they didn't stick with their original name of TVbum is beyond me.
^ i've always
thought this. It's the kinda situation where if your mate said "aww, come and see my band Radiohead" everyone would snigger behind their back, but because they're established and decent, people tend not to think about it. Odd.
i imagine...
it was more like "thank fuck you're not called On a Friday anymore".
I dunno, it's not that bad
Although it's the wrong name for what they do, I've thought. See also: One Night Only.
goo goo dolls
this name has always totaly irritated me it makes me think of something pathetic or babyish i hate even uttering the words
agreed
which further adds to the whole 'dizzy up the girl' album. SO irritating
65dayofstatic- Install A Beak...
Into The Heart That Clucks Bullsh*t or whatever the hell that song's called.
...That Clucks Time In Arabic
yeah
thats got to be one of the most pretentious things ive heard in a while
They do have songs titled.
*Music Is Music As Devices Are Kisses Is Everything.
*The Distant And Mechanised Glow Of Eastern European Dance Parties.
Surely these are really cool names, although I'm not disagreeing with the pretentiousness though.
They're an amazing band so it's allowed anyway.
