What's the most retarded band name?

That one's really bad. I always hated Les Rallizes Denudes and Spacemen 3 (there's not even three of them! What the fuck does the 3 mean!) which is a shame because they're great bands.

The Presidents of the United States of America

Yes, but that was meant to be a joke, like the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band.

>>127452054 (OP)
I've always thought Metallica was a pretty stupid band name.

Alice Cooper

Weezer

Vanilla Fudge

Smashing Pumpkins

The Monkees

- Anal Cunt -- -- "...but what's the name of your dad's band?"
- Smashing Pumpkins -- maybe it makes sense to Americans(?) but it just sound ridiculous, in a bad way
- Eagles -- there's no "The", the name is not "The Eagles", it's "Eagles"
- Chris Gaines -- stupid af

>>127456274

>>127456427
>Mog? Why?

The The

this is probably the most objective answer along with "The Band"

>>127456274

>maybe it makes sense to Americans

It's actually meant to have a double meaning: [Verb] [Noun] (like Americans would interpret it) and [Adjective] [Noun] (like Brits would interpret it).

>>127456274
Yeah. I actually like their music quite a lot. I don't know why they're so bad at titles. All their music sounds like it was named by a sixteen year old and would sound a million times cooler if they were cut down by two thirds, and even then it would still sound tryhard.

>>127456735
The Band isn't anywhere near as stupid. I don't know why people get so triggered by that name. "It makes them sound full of themselves" doesn't sound believable to me. Probably just a dumb meme that it's a bad name.

There's some 60s novelty act whose name I saw once and have never been able to find again. It was something like "Oznokiewicz and His Band of Merry Oznokiewiczes"

>>127457434
Sounds very 60's and gay as fuck. Still don't know if that's any worse than post rock bands though.

>>127456274
Seriously, someone in this band must have the smallest dick that God ever created.

Dick Delicious and the Tasty Testicles

the beatles, its not even spelt properly

>>127456274
Why the fuck is the exclamation mark placed after You

Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah

Inspiral carpets

Butthole surfers

DJ Koze
if you pronounce it ko-tse it literally means DJ Vomit in German.
I pronounce it co-zy to avoid this, but it still sounds really whack

Sunn O))) comes to mind as well

>>127452054 (OP)
based name and based band

any band name that isn't "The [plural noun]" is tryhard shit
"The [adjective] [plural noun]" is ok too

>>127452328
even worse than that, it's The Smashing Pumpkins

>>127457434
speaking of which, the 60s were full of those retarded names, like Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Electric Prunes, The Chocolate Watchband, Country Joe and the Fish, The Lemon Pipers etc

>>127457871
its le random

>>127456992
your post reminded me of Trouble Walking. Ace meant noun verb but everyone took it as adjective verb

For some reason Cigarettes After Sex really annoys me as a name

>>127454783
at least scary kids scaring kids is named after a cap’n jazz song. that makes it tolerable to me

husker du

>>127452054 (OP)
Idles. Just a gay name for a shit band.

>>127458284
Butthole Surfers is peak, it fits their sound perfectly. Same for Mr. Bungle.

>>127456992
Smashing Pumpkins verb noun is decent but adjective noun is so tacky

Yes

The best part is that they knew it was a goofy name, but being the stubborn fucks they were basically willed it into being an acceptable by achieving legitimate success.
