Imagine coming up with a band and album name that literally makes you impossible to Google

>>72791512
This

Radiohead

>>72790396

Jimmy Eat World

Gum

>>72791594
Gay Dad is actually a pretty cool band name

Carrisa's Wierd

One of my favorite bands but; Godspeed You! Black Emperor. I fucking hate it

It would be astronomically better if it were just Black Emperor

>>72791685
>Live
>Bush
>Seether
Post grunge band names are so lame

>>72790396
Uriah heap

>>72792231
I checked them out solely because of their name, so I'm going to disagree on this one.

>>72791910
does anyone know what actually happens if you google that?

>>72792231
The world would be astronomically better if you were to die

>>72792488

Every sentence-like metalcore band name ever

>>72792685
looks like a bundle of sticks to me

Car Seat Headrest

Sorry Will, your name sucks man.

>>72793761
This, didn't want to listen to the band because of their name

>>72792231
No, no and no.

>>72793761
It makes sense in the context of his earlier work being recorded in his backseat. Not a good name but he's got incredible music behind it so I don't mind.

>>72794083
All of these are good, tho.

Hermans Hermits

>>72794083
Lmao I haven't listened to this band because of that god awful band name. I don't even think I could enjoy it knowing that the people behind it are dumb enough to name their band that.
>>72794363
>Hermans Hermits
This is good tho

Tokyo Police Club

>>72794079
I agree that the name has history and the music behind it is even better, but the name is a turn off for new listeners.

On a side note, I saw them on Saturday night. I'm still coming down from it.

>>72790396
Godspeed You! Black Emperor

>>72791952
actually yes

>>72790396
PWR BTTM

>The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
Tha fuck.

>>72793280
The new pornographers

>>72790396
>Tame Impala
>Animal Collective

>>72795611
>Modest Mouse
>Super Furry Animals

The only good band name ever conceived was hoobastank

Even though I like the band I think "Camp Kill yourself" is pretty bad.

>>72797072
Yeah but CKY is an okay name.

My Bloody Valentine
It sounds like the name of a fucking emo/scene band, and it turned me off from them for the longest time

I saw a band called Child Abuse once.
They were awesome, but now I have a useless t-shirt with a schoolbus that says "Child Abuse" in big ol' letters.

Also Anal Cunt.
Actually, no, the band name is not as bad as their LOGO. So gross looking.

>>72797757
this

Nine Inch Nails

I love the band, love Trent. I just fel ashamed about talking about the band in public due to the name, dunno why, I really like the acronym, but the name sounds too embarassing for me to mention for some reason.

>>72791939
>dumb yuropoor doing what dumb yuropoors do best
like pottery

>>72791939
typical non-American who thinks he understands the US but is clueless

The Beatles

>>72794079
>but he's got incredible music
you can stop posting any time, Will

Hootie and the Blowfish
Does It Offend You, Yeah?
Butthole Surfers
Ever single shitty metalcore band's name

>>72790396
BADBADNOTGOOD or whatever those faggots call themselves

Hoobastank is pretty shitty too.

>>72795611
Animal Collective is a great name, kill yourself for having a different opinion to me.

>>72793261
because he's a smelly newfag

Pretty much anything that's more than 3 words
If it's an entire sentence just give up music.

Acidic Vaginal Liquid Explosion Generated By Mass Amounts Of Filthy Fecal Fisting And Sadistic Septic Syphilic Sodomy Inside The Infected Maggot Infested Womb Of A Molested Nun Dying Under The Roof Of A Burning Church While A Priest Watches And Ejaculates In Immense Perverse Pleasure Over His First Fresh Fetus

>>72792231
The only thing I would change is putting the exclamation point at the end of the sentence instead of the middle. Every time I read the band name in my head I feel like I have to put emphasis on the "You!" and it just sound stupid.

>>72798870
me too
>godspeed YOU....... black emperor

>>72798748
People who think Butthole Surfers is a bad name have obviously never listened to their music.

>>72798870

ive googled for the name of pic related and i got a google ad thing saying to report child abuse. thats it.

EEWWW! YOU'RE A GIRL

Portugal. The Man has to be one of the worst band names I have ever heard. The fact that the band has nothing to do with Portugal is only the least of this names problems. What does "Portugal. The Man" even mean? It's not like all good band names have to mean something, but "Portugal. The Man" not only has a bewildering meaning, it doesn't even sound that cool. "Arcade Fire" might not really mean anything relevant to the band, but the words "Arcade Fire" present some pretty cool imagery, and so that is really all the band name needs.

Absolutely nothing special comes to mind upon hearing the words "Portugal. The Man". Is the band trying to give us two totally different ideas here? Like, here's Portugal the country. And then here's some man? It's as if the band couldn't decide between naming themselves "Portugal" or "The Man" so they just said "ahh fuck it, let's combine the two names". And then, against all reason and common sense, they fucking did it.

Is there some man named "Portugal"? Is that who this band is named after? Is the "The Man" part to distinguish the man from the country of the same name? "Portugal" isn't even a real name for a person. And even if it was, and even if "Portugal. The Man" is named after some guy named "Portugal", the band fucked up big time with the punctuation. If all those things are true, the band name should read "Portugal: The Man". You see that? That's a colon. The band name doesn't need a period. The band name just looks stupid with that random misplaced period. The correct punctuation should be a colon, and that's only the case if the band name really is referring to some guy named Portugal. But the band name is never clear. The band name is vague, it sounds stupid, and they fucked up the punctuation. I hate that band name.

>>72798870
They actually did move the exclamation point at one point in their career lol

>>72799215
lmao

Grindcore names are pretty bad or just outrageous for no reason.
For example: Abörted Hitler Cöck
And yes that's a real band

>>72792685
That logo looks like it'd be painful to step on while barefoot.

>>72792685
Is this satire of unreadable metal logos or is it just like that?

>>72799552
Both.

Curse These Metal Hands

>>72799423
Leftöver Crack is still the best band of all time though.

>>72792488
>>72792590
>>72793302
lol of course you're allowed to read up on the topic of child pornography what the hell.

Almost (keyword: almost) any name that's more than three words. Unless its something like "Name and the Somethings" or unless its something weird and attention grabbing like GY!BE.
Mostly shitty pop punk and emo bands do this.

>>72795658
Thudercat
Gold Panda

>>72798289
That's the point.

The Slants
The Trouser Sniffers
Porcupinography

Probably not worst ever but Bongripper is by far my favourite doom metal band but the name makes it seem like dude weed lmao which isn't reflected in the music at all

>Hoobastank
>The American Music Club
>Eternal Tears of Sorrow
>iwrestledabearonce

Hoobastank

Disipline. Incorrect spellings are pretty much the worst offenders.

Antipope

cause it's awkward to pronounce

Didn't GY!BE get their name from some Japanese movie or something?

MBV was named after a movie as well

Kinda wish this names wasn't taken.

All bands names are terrible. I wish artists would go back to being assholes and just have the most clearly talented one have the band named after them followed by the ensemble number.

>anon and the shitposters

most "The *insert common noun here*" bands that came after the 70s

>The Antlers
>The Strokes
>The White Stripes
>The Black Keys
>The War on Drugs

>>72791928

FUCK! THAT

GY!BE is literally the best band acronym in the fucking world. Move the point, you must be fucking crazy.

The Beach Boys. It's so gay, and people thinks so too. It's why I have trouble showing PS to people sometimes
