There will never be a band that is universally loved by everyone. Some bands, however, are hated by everyone, but that’s not the point is it! Then there’s rubbish bands in the middle of everyone, constantly on the radio, number one all over the place and on every reality TV show going, who is actually buys Peter Andre albums anyway? I bet you don’t know anyone who has actually gone to the shops to buy one. Some bands, it seems, are able to get along on just the strength of a good name, despite having shameful music, like Muse or the Stereophonics. That one apparent, i think, proves how important it is to have a good solid name, one that sounds like your music and really matches to the sort of fans you wanna grab, like Metallica, Radiohead or Blur. Some however, get it superbly wrong, here are the worst 10 we could find, in no particular order.

  • Bonzo Dog Doodah Band.
  • …. And you will know us by the trail of the dead. What does that even mean!
  • S Club 7. Tacky name on its own, when you discover they’re originally a Spice Girls fan club band, enough said.
  • Taint Stick.
  • Neutral Milk Hotel.
  • Fountains Of Wayne.
  • Nip Drivers.
  • The The. now thats just lazy……..
  • Live. Imagine that on a billboard. Tonight Only Live Live.
  • You Me At Six. Did someone use the Emo band name generator, i think so!
