What exactly makes a band name a bad band name? What are good band names?
Does Halen Halen Anthony Roth make sense to you too? It's a dumb sounding name, no matter the origin.
But yeah, Hoobastank tops it.
Nickleback's pretty horrible as well. And Taking Back Sunday and Hootie and the Blowfish.
Oh yeah, Hell Yeah is just terrible.

Maybe he named the name of the band, "!!!" and then for emphasis he added an exclamation point to the name of the band.
Stay away from me with your metaphysical ramblings you! <--- Huh?
There are so many bad ones...
Chumbawumba
Porno for Pyros
Mr. Mister
W.A.S.P.
Enuff Z'nuff
Spell Toronto (This one may be a local band, I'm not sure, but I think the name is dumb. You fucking spell toronto, asshole!)
Goo Goo Dolls
Hootie and the Blowfish
Oh, and don't forget Russell Crowe's "band:" Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts

In R&B, last name moniker groups are quite common, so BBD's name doesn't register as strange to me. Besides, Tony Toni Tone is much worse anyway.
Nobody for Milli Vanilli???

Torn & Frayed.
There's a country band called Little Big Town.
Pretty much all bands from the 50's and most from the early 60's have terrible names.
Most of you guys came up with some good ones,so I'll just mention the ones that I hate that haven't been mentioned yet.
30 Seconds To Mars
Airborne Toxic Event
Shine Down
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Fly Leaf
That's all I can think of right now,but will add more when they come to me.

A-fucking-men.
...inspired by Buddy Holly and The Crickets
Actually, one of their earlier names, The Silver Beetles, was the tribute to Buddy Holly and the Crickets. The Beatles was actually a suggestion from then up-and-coming poet Royston Ellis, as a play on beat poetry and beat music (John and Paul were noted fans of beat poetry and the Beatles early playing was in large part beat music, especially the Hamburg days).
^Those are all good ones, man.
Here are the ones nobody has said that I think are a bit odd (though I don't hate them all):
The Offspring
Rise Against
A Day to Remember
Anal Cunt
Kings of Leon
Dave Matthews Band
During a flood, their studio flooded, leaving a "puddle of mud" on the floor.

Anyone remember the scene from Hardcore Logo where they're driving at night, trying to come up with bad Canadian band names? My favourite was "Sled dog afterbirth"
"cough, cough" NO! "cough, cough"
You're right. Godsmack was a unique name when Alice in Chains named their song that. :hatsoff:
Really? That's why? Well, just from reading that sentence even Studio Flood would have been better than Puddle of Mudd. :2 cents:
You guys have given some great examples for the most part. Don't think I agree with four of them, though. To each his own. I completely forgot about Hoobastank, Shinedown, Hell Yeah, and the epic failure that was the symbol for the artist formerly known as Prince. :1orglaugh
All are truly awful.
Still better than most on this list. :1orglaugh
