Top 10 bad band names …

October 3, 2007

10: KORN

Korn
This was almost a 3-way tie with the Black Eyed Peas and Red Hot Chili Peppers but Korn thought by changing the spelling they could get away with it. Not gonna happen my friend.

9: PINK FLOYD

PinkFloyd
I know I’m attacking a legendary band but all I can think of when I hear their name is a gay barber working in Mayberry.

8: TEST ICICLES

test icicles
Oh I get it, testicles. Wait. Why would you want to be named testicles?

7: ARCTIC MONKEYS

I’m pretty sure the arctic doesn’t even have monkeys.

6: PEARL JAM

Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam’s original name was “Mookie Blaylock” after the basketball player of the same name. Due to trademark issues they changed their name to something I can only refer to as “The worst compliment to peanut butter ever”.

5: DEF LEPPARD

Def Leppard
All spelling errors aside, why name your band with the word deaf in it? You’re just asking the teasing to commence.

4: THE MR.T EXPERIENCE

Mr.T
What’s next, The Chuck Norris Experiment?

3: HOOTIE AND THE BLOWFISH

Hootie
Screw you, Darius…I’m calling you Hootie for life. You asked for it.

2: LIMP BIZKIT

Limp Bizkit
I take it back. It’s much better than Flaccid Wang.

1: BUTTHOLE SURFERS

They almost went with “Brown Reason to Live and Pee Pee the Sailor” and I’d almost suggest that would have been the better name.
