I submit Anal Cunt
Not technically a band but I have always thought the DJ called ‘Breakfast’ was a terrible choice
There’s a punk band who were called Slaves. After a free years of people saying “are you sure that’s the name you want to go with, being a couple of white guys?” They decided no they were not and changed it to Soft Play
There was a brief time when Tommy Chong was on a band under the name “4 N*'s and a C*,” and every now and again I remember that fact and think “What the actual fuck was he thinking.”
Probably “Band”
Lots of problematic song titles too.
My favourite is “I rescpect your feelings as a woman”
Milky Chance
How about Shitmat? Great music but hard to tell people about it.
I heard a song by an indie band called Purulent Vagina.
It sounded exactly how you’d expect it to.

Jimmy Eat World should be part of the conversation due to their acronym.
Who ever called them J.E.W.? Or when did they ever use that acronym themselves?
Perhaps tried to and then realised
To be completely honest, I don’t consider any name to be bad.
You may say AxCx is terrible name, but once you give them a listen it exactly fits the name. Same goes for Hijokaidan, who are actually named based on one of fan’s suggestion claiming that “escape staircase” suits their sound more. Party Cannon is absolutely hillarious imo, when you look at the logo and the sound. Brojob also has a name that fits their lyrical themes.
In some cases the name may come out a bit lame, but bad names? Nah. I don’t consider any name bad, most of them sound either fucking epic and/or hillarious when you look at the full picture.
Come on, let musicians have some fun.
Just one note. Unfortunate names do exist. If a band has name that is also commonly used to refer to other things, it is really tricky to find them unless they are popular enough. I remember trying to find some music from a band called “6 cylinder”. You can imagine the struggle.
Incorrect. It’s understandable because we all make mistakes. But the assignment was “worst band name ever”, not “best band name ever”. When you’re older you’ll understand why he did it
What is that? Seen it on someone’s wall near me too
Prince, formerly known as “The Artist Formerly Known As Prince” (this symbol), formerly known as Prince.
Prince had a legal fight with his record label over ownership of his music. As a protest, he changed his artist name from “Prince” to this symbol.
And had floppy discs with the character code sent out to all the music magazines so they could print it. As Charlie Murphy put it, dude could ball.
Cherry Poppin’ Daddies
I like the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies tribute band, the Hymen Bustin Fathers
But they played at the Super Bowl halftime show once so they are okay /s
Did they really? That may have been peak 90s
They’re still touring, too!
queen is actually a bunch of guy
That played concerts at sun city in apartheid south Africa and have heavily glossed over the fact afterwards
Next you’re gonna tell me The Police isn’t a group of cops
no they are real police, they watch every step you take
Oh honey, Freddie was a bigger Queen than Elizabeth, Danaerys, and Latifah rolled into one.
