Bands You could never allow yourself to like, given their (to your ears) indefensibly stupid name.

"With maybe an exception or two, ALL full-sentence names are awful."

The exception being "Clap Your Hands Say Yeah". I've never heard their music and I'm not sure I even want to cause it might spoil my appreciation of their awesome name.

Anyone with "Lil" in their name.

Suburban Kids with Biblical Names and any band with typographical a typographical or orthographic conceit in their name: Meanwhile Back in Communist Russia..., (Smog) (although they've dropped the parentheses, so now they're OK), k.d. lang, et cetera (not, to my knowledge, a band name).

Actually, my personal specific exception was the awesome Nomeansno - a name that, in print, doesn't even LOOK like a full sentence.

I was listening to an online radio station, and they played a band (that sounded a lot like Spoon) called "The Dammitheads"

'tis a good thing I heard My Bloody Valentine's music before I knew their name...gotta admit people, it's a crummy name, was a lame-o movie, and I hate hearing myself vocalize it whenever asked to rattle off some of my all-time favorite albums...
