I thought "Sonic Youth" sounded pretentious
You were correct.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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)

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.

Hurrah for Alex' Pissed Jeans loving.
For me, they reignited that whole Flipper, Fang, Killdozer flame with their debut. Their second one was, erm, toilet but "King of Jeans" nails it.
Hilarious existential sarcasm.
Would love to see them live. Any good?

― hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Friday, 16 July 2010 00:46 (fifteen years ago)
"Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse" sounds like an 80s Saturday morning cartoon.
I think Volapük is a decent band name, at least if you know what "volapük" is.
