bands with really annoying names

[spanglechick]

Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly.

 

[May Kasahara]

Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong

 

[cliche guevara]

Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly.

That's a quality name! And Sam's a really sound guy as well.

 

[skyscraper101]

Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly.

I thought it was a crap name too, but I warmed to him when I heard the tunes so alls forgiven.

 

[Debord]

The Wombats, + their annoying faces and shitty annoying records.Funny how most of these are turning out to be NME bands.

 

[skyscraper101]

Reverend and the Makers

Absolutely, shite.

 

[May Kasahara]

Tilly And The Wall

 

[twistedAM]

Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly.

It's quite good and funny in a way (it's a cheat code from a Sonic game). He was one of the first solo artists to adopt a name like that as well instead of being called Singer Songwriter.
Top bloke anyway even though he's been leading me astray recently with Jagerbombs.

 

[Dr. Furface]

Plain White Tees

Are they a bunch of golfers?

 

[dream_girl]

The Beatles

Before I even looked at the OP - I knew this would come up

It might be crap - not sure I undertsand why it's annoying

 

[innit]

Tilly And The Wall

But, but they were quite fun

up-c down-c left-c right-c abc + start

 

[May Kasahara]

I've never heard anything by TATW, just think it's a stupid twee name.

 

[innit]

TATW

They are well twee, so at least the name is fitting.

 

[Dr. Furface]

Oh I just remembered a really vile one - Sixpence Non The Richer

 

[felixthecat]

The Twang - just so......irritating
Panic! At The Disco - its the exclamation mark that gets to me
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - again , that fucking exclamation mark
Limp Bizkit - Oh puhleese
Eagles of Death Metal - I like them, but its a really pathetic name

 

[8ball]

The Music - fuck off!

 

[twistedAM]

The Music - fuck off!

actually most bands that use the definitive article have a crap name

 

[May Kasahara]

That's true. The Kooks is another example, with an added layer of crapness because they are so resolutely unkooky

 

[dream_girl]

Spandau Ballet
Marillion
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
The Twang
Take That
The Beautiful South
Fields Of The Nephilim
Grab Grab The Haddock
Bucks Fizz

 

[fredfelt]

Any band that uses a 'z' when they should be using an 's'. Or any replacements of that nature (2, 8 etc)

 

[8ball]

Spandau Ballet
Marillion
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
The Twang
Take That
The Beautiful South
Fields Of The Nephilim
Grab Grab The Haddock
Bucks Fizz

I quite like Spandau Ballet and Fields Of The Nephilim but broadly agree on the others.

Amazed no one has mentioned Scouting For Girls yet.

The juxtaposition of the words Spandau and ballet set my teeth on edge - and Fields of the Nephilim - it's just wank isn't it?

 

[8ball]

Is it not a ballet troupe from West Berlin, then?

And I still don't see what your problem with Fields of the Nephilim is.

 

[dream_girl]

And I still don't see what your problem with Fields of the Nephilim is.

It's personal innit?

 

[jontz01]

Why hasn't anyone mentioned BoyZone yet?

[not technically and band mind...]

 

[8ball]

It's personal innit?

Did you have a bad experience in a field with a Nephilim?

 

[The Groke]

Another vote for Hoobastank


Also - Coheed and Cambria.





Oh, and Nickleback.

 

[dream_girl]

Did you have a bad experience in a field with a Nephilim?

Those Nephilims are bastards

 

[Giles]

System of A Down

Eh?
