the reviewers rants are a tad anal.

should have stuck with the name The Sex Maggots

I always thought Butt Trumpet was a silly gratituous name for a band.

I am not making this up, but a church friend of mine had a son, whose name was Lyman and their garage band was called Lyman's Hymen

I've always like the name Kathleen Turner Overdrive.

Local bands:

Impotent Sea Snakes

Dick Delicious and the Tasty Testicles

Along those lines, I like Smorgasborgnine.

Brilliant list. I even agree with the bands I like on that list.

Salty was right though, Goo Goo Dolls should have made that list. I used to be so embarassed telling people that's what I was listening to (before they blew up), and now that everyone knows the name, I still hate it.

Also missing from the list:

Bubble Puppy
Mom's Apple Pie
Strawberry Alarm Clock
The The
Toad The Wet Sprocket

The original name for Audioslave was Civilian. IMO, a much cooler name.

How about:
Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments

offensive and untalented!

Wasn't the Goo Goo Dolls' original name the F--- Buckets? Hmm, maybe that was someone else.

Personally I can't really stand the name Butthole Surfers, but that's me.

I always wanted to start a band and call it "Botched Abortion".

And to continue, my favorite is The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black.

I always hated the name,

The Butthole Surfers

Good list, made for an amusing read.

What about "The The"

I've always wanted to start a band called "Guitarded"

the choosing of that band name was out of sheer laziness... :D ... :lol:

The thing about Toad the Wet Sprocket is that they themselves hated the name and regretted choosing it but had to stick with it after they found success.

When I was about 14 my cousin and I would come up with hilariously offensive band names and the 2 most memorable ones I came up with were "The Botched Abortions" and "The Fetal Fucks". In any case, I came up with "The Botched Abortions" over a decade ago so you'd better not use it or you'll be hearing from my lawyer.

A friend of mine and I always wanted to name a band nostrilgödstench after seeing a televangelist who said that sinners are a stench in the nostrils of God. It would probably have to be a metal band.

I always thought Godspeed You Black Emperor! was an extremely retarded band name.

i always thought moe. was 'monkeys on ecstasy'...?

that's why they changed it. :)

and let's not forget Animal Liberation Orchestra...

Sometimes I see concert listings for "I am the World Trade Center". I haven't seen it listed in a while but "Dick Delicious and his Tasty Testicles" used to come around every so often also. Pun intended.

I've never heard them but I think "...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead" is the coolest band name ever.

Yeah, that would've sold them a lot of records! They couldn't get gigs with that name! Well... probably now they could, but certainly not back in '85-'86!

I know I read an interview with one of the band members that said moe. got the name from the musical. I think the monkeys on ecstasy thing came later when they were trying to play some stealth shows.

And you're right, Animal Liberation Orchestra is a terrible name...

What? No "Fuck Your Yankee Blue Jeans"?
