Name and shame - bad band names

[Jah Womble]

Head to head, which is worst out of Jimmy Eat World and Jimmy The Hoover?

The latter.

Both rubbish, however.

Has there been a best band names thread?

Yes, but I'm blessed if I can find it.

[WOM]

I recall reading that The Dixie Chicks said they'd have chosen a better name if they'd realised they were going to be successful.

Fucked Up have said the same thing many times.

[Benjm]

Iron and Wine.

Technically he might be a solo act, which only makes it worse.

[elguapo4]

Fucked Up have said the same thing many times.

Tracey Thorn also said it about EBTG in her autobiography.

[Patrick Thistle]

F***ed Up have said the same thing many times.

So, they, um, made a mistake?

[WOM]

Very good. Say....did you know that Gord Downie guests on a Fucked Up song? The Art of Patrons, off Glass Boys.

[Patrick Thistle]

WOM Ooh no I did not. I got the album he released with The Sadies. I'm not sure if I've listened to it. I bought it on our trip to Canada and then the next month they announced he was ill and tbh I felt so upset and depressed by that I didn't feel like listening to much.

He also contributes to one of the Barenaked Ladies kids' songs where different people say what they like for lunch.

[WOM]

I don't get The Sadies.

[Amor de Cosmos]

Two other Canadian bands with dumb names. The Cowboy Junkies, The New Pornographers. I like them both as bands but seriously what were they thinking.

[Jah Womble]

I don't get The Sadies.

Glad to hear that the treatment was effective.

Not that I own a record shop, but if you came into my record shop expressing an interest in this, I'd probably report you to somebody.
