man how do you have a name as awful as crispy ambulance in the late 70s when there were shitloads of cool band names still available

Joy Division

>>74991969
Dude there is a band in Denver called, I shit you not, Joy Subtraction

>>74991969
They took their name from a novel where Joy Division was a sex slavery wing of a Nazi concentration camp.

>>74990697
for a while, when i first started coming here, i thought the band was called Deathconsciousness and the album Have a Nice Life

>>74991280
Prince went by that signal because the record label fucked him over. they wouldn't let him release shit as Prince so he just had that symbol, then called himself the artist formerly known as Prince

anything more than 3 words

>>74987493

names that are really sentences
anything "wacky"
nms wth n vowels
names with punctuation
names purposefully created to be listed near "beatles"
names with or without "the"
names

>>74992781
I figured Deathconsciousness would be a much better name.

>>74988298
>Initially, the band had two running ideas for band names: Nazipenis and Turbonegro. They were advised that a band named Nazipenis would never sell records, so they chose Turbonegro as a more consumer-friendly choice. The band's name raised some eyebrows and, for that reason, their first releases were sometimes branded "TRBNGR," perhaps to preclude backlash against what some consider to be a racist name. However, the band's stated motivations are anti-racist, an attempt to change the attitude of racism and nationalism perceived as prevalent in parts of Scandinavia. The original name was seconded by a tribute band, Nazipenis.
