Alan Pownall.

"Alan", in 2010.

ithappens, Wednesday, 7 July 2010 15:30 (fifteen years ago)

Wouldn't it have been better if he'd spelt it "Pwnall"?

danbunny, Thursday, 8 July 2010 01:26 (fifteen years ago)

Fucked Up. Which, as I've today discovered, was a mistake.

"oOoOOo" is the worst band name I've ever seen.

Child Abuse, anyone?

― anagram, Wednesday, June 30, 2010 1:36 AM

Isn't there a band called Child Pornography? I thought I read that here in these forums but maybe not. Talk about a name you DO NOT want to google!

musicfanatic, Thursday, 8 July 2010 02:42 (fifteen years ago)

yes there is - it is actually one guy - and he is a friend of mine & table is the table, actually.

UH. Was just coming to post Umphrey's McGee, saw I was beaten by only days. I was already predisposed towards writing them off as a jam band, though.

But I will also offer up Ekoostik Hookah. I mean...jesus christ, come on.

SNEEZED GOING DOWN STEPS, PAIN WHEN PUTTING SOCKS ON (Deric W. Haircare), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 18:27 (fifteen years ago)

Discovered my brother feels this way about Real Estate.
Can't say I blame him.

Trip Maker, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 18:28 (fifteen years ago)

Another vote for Emmy The Great. Imagine choosing that moniker, fucking hell

PaulTMA, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 20:30 (fifteen years ago)

When I was a teen, I thought "Sonic Youth" sounded pretentious and stupid, so I struck them off the list. They never made it back on.

the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 21:41 (fifteen years ago)

I thought "Sonic Youth" sounded pretentious

You were correct.

Alex in NYC, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:05 (fifteen years ago)

By the way, I now love Pissed Jeans.

Die Antwoord

because it's foreign, or because you don't like it in translation?

oh sh!t a ¯\⎝⏠___⏠⎠/¯ (sic), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:44 (fifteen years ago)

my bloody valentine

for obvious reasons. it torments me when somebody asks what my favorite band is and i have to reply with the automatic assumption that they've categorized me into the emoverse.

Best Coast

Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 14 July 2010 02:28 (fifteen years ago)

I am pleased that Alex in NYC is now a fan of Pissed Jeans.
They kick a lot of ass.

Trip Maker, Wednesday, 14 July 2010 05:49 (fifteen years ago)

You're missing out with Best coast because they are dynamite!!!!

But their name is terrible!

Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 14 July 2010 06:24 (fifteen years ago)

Shakatak
Methadrone
We Are Scientists
Birchville Cat Motel
Volcano the Bear
Black Tape for a Blue Girl
Guitar Wolf

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Wednesday, 14 July 2010 08:30 (fifteen years ago)

Shakatak and Guitar Wolf are dope imo.

Orange You Glad I Didn't Say Mañana? (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 08:32 (fifteen years ago)

Birchville Cat Motel well worth your time.

Because it looks really stupid, phonetically, at first glance.

Black Tape for a Blue Girl

I love this band name, although I've never heard the band.

Excuses for Skipping

sarahel, Wednesday, 14 July 2010 19:41 (fifteen years ago)

Any band I have written off bcz of their name is the type of band I would actively have to search out myself to hear, anyway. ie: Monsoon Bassoon, who are never on the radio, and who no one I know listens to.

could be a bad day for (Abbott), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 19:48 (fifteen years ago)

Donkey Punch

sofatruck, Wednesday, 14 July 2010 21:22 (fifteen years ago)

There is a band playing at my friend's underground festival this weekend called TURD THROWER.
Pretty sure I am missing that day, anyway.

Trip Maker, Wednesday, 14 July 2010 21:27 (fifteen years ago)

Doesn't sound like something you'd want to catch, that's for sure.

WOOD! GOBLINS! (NickB), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 21:28 (fifteen years ago)

TURD THROWER.

Bahahahaha

Alex in NYC, Thursday, 15 July 2010 11:00 (fifteen years ago)

GG Allin tribute band?

R. Stornoway (Tom D.), Thursday, 15 July 2010 11:02 (fifteen years ago)

Any act whose name has the word "fuck" or "shit" in it. I'm too old for that type of "edginess".

Any act whose name has more than four words. "I just bought the new album by I Love You But My Panda Is Gay" is not a sentence I ever want to say out loud.

Tuomas, Thursday, 15 July 2010 11:23 (fifteen years ago)

LOL! I would totally be in a joke band called I Love You But My Panda Is Gay.

sarahel, Thursday, 15 July 2010 14:32 (fifteen years ago)

A friend recommended me a band called Volapük but I can't listen to them because every time I read it I think "vomit puke".

orchestral manure in the dark (corey), Thursday, 15 July 2010 14:58 (fifteen years ago)

Which reminds me: Vomit Launch

WOOD! GOBLINS! (NickB), Thursday, 15 July 2010 15:07 (fifteen years ago)

Vomit Launch are a great band!

sarahel, Thursday, 15 July 2010 15:09 (fifteen years ago)

Maybe they are but y'know

WOOD! GOBLINS! (NickB), Thursday, 15 July 2010 15:11 (fifteen years ago)

Big "a-doy" one that I'm shocked hasn't wound up here yet: Limp Bizkit.

SNEEZED GOING DOWN STEPS, PAIN WHEN PUTTING SOCKS ON (Deric W. Haircare), Thursday, 15 July 2010 18:00 (fifteen years ago)

There are plenty of other, more credible reasons to write off Limp Bizkit.
