Here's a new list, the Top 25 Most Ridiculous Names in Rock Band History. A few overlaps with the previous list, of course.

HOOTIE AND THE BLOWFISH
Why it's ridiculous: In a word: "hootie." In four: "hootie," "and," "the" and "blowfish." We now know from scientific studies performed in 1998 at Cambridge that there isn't a single aspect of Hootie and the Blowfish's name that doesn't invite you, the listener, on a subconscious simian level, to punch each of them in the face until they agree to change it

Stupid nit-picky thing, but the photo of Def Leppard in the Cracked list isn't them. I believe that it is from the VH-1 movie about them. They made both lists of course

A Flock Of Seagulls should been on the list.
I dig some of the songs liked "Wishing" , "I Ran (So Far Away)" and "Space Age Love Song" but the band name really do suck.

Jambands all have terrible names. Lake Trout? Really? That's the best you could do? Disco Biscuits?
The worst "The" names for bands are The Band, The The, and The Music.
