stranaspank Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 iwrestledabearonce The Number 12 Looks Like You I'll pass based on those names. I just picture swishy bangs, double lip rings, and blast beats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulnewman Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 worst band name ever is that Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right Select Start (or whatever the fuck they're called)....refuse to listen to them because of that name. up up down down is actually really awesome, although their name is definitely ridiculous. their last album was actually called "worst band name ever."

gabpower Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I used to think "Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground" sounded lame but I got very pleased with their music. "Classics Of Love" is kinda lame too but it's Jesse Michaels on vocals so it's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capsized Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Funny, I was going to mention "We were promised jetpacks" as example for a good name and imho also good band, so it didn't fit the original posters question. Also Dananananakroyd is a band I just listened to because of the name. About the Cock Sparrer comment: yeah, band names with genitals are usually a turn off for me (pun intended)... Like Eternal Erection. I don't even care what genre that is. PS. Did we already have a thread about awesome albums with horrible covers?

dynamitekid Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I know there are better examples but the one that came to me off the top of my head was Heartsounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Avatar Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Wow I'm surprised at so many of the postings here. When I judge a band based on their name, it's because their name is like "the skalliwags" or "llama tsunami and the without helmet". ^^ but recently I saw the band "the sandlot heroes" live and I thought they were going to be horrible because the name is so cliche, but they were actually really good!

hobophobic Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 We Were Promised Jetpacks. With a band name like that, how could you not check them out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffbo Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I thought Touche Amore was a fun name, then I saw them live, more like douche amore, amirite? I thought I was watching a high school band play. I dont know how they got to open for Envy. But to contribute, I specifically avoided 'This will destroy you' because of the name. I was wrong to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbohaha Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I remember I would avoid listening to Every Time I Die because I thought their band name was super emo sounding. After actually giving the band a chance I grew to love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timthefatguy Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I've never listen to Death Cab for Cutie because it's sounds like its some gay "emo" band. But everyone tells me they're not and that I'm really missing out. And now I'm just too lazy to check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 You Slut! Don't dig the name, but love their jams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasma36 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 You Slut! Don't dig the name, but love their jams. It's especially painful when their first album has this terrible cover Great jams though, anyone into fun math rock that's big on riffs should check them out.
