In honor of Liz's comment that she hates the name Band of Horses but is looking forward to hearing the CD, let's go through some good bands with bad names:
Pulp
13 & God
Neutral Milk Hotel
Ms. John Soda
Mountain Goats
Death Cab for Cutie
I Am the World Trade Center
The Heavenly States (good name) used to be called Fluke Starbucker
Girls Are Short
Clem Snide
Earlimart
Those are just off the top of my head, I'm sure I'll think of more.
Sorry, Pulp is a fantastic name. Totally fits that band
ReplyDeleteNeutral Milk Hotel is a splendiferous name.
DCFC: terrible.
U2 and The Cure are two of the most awful names ever. Didn't stop them from selling bajillions of records.
Blackalicious
ReplyDeleteMy Morning Jacket
Arctic Monkeys
Eminem
And the ultimate good band/bad name, the Beatles.
Wolf Parade
ReplyDeleteGuitar Wolf
Wolf Eyes
AIDS Wolf
Wolf Colonel
Wolfie
I predict a wave of "Coyote" bands later this year after all "Wolf" combinations have been exhausted.
