can't tell if you're making a joke or genuinely don't understand this thread

How does "Master Musicians of Bukkake" not yet make it on this list? Ever ask your gf to go see them with you? You might as well ask her if she wants to go see "Your Pussy Stank"...

I remember in the late 80's/early 90's hearing the name "Beat Happening" and thinking, what a horrible name for a band.

quite happy to be considered all shades of insane for not agreeing with this in any way shape or form

not the thread for it tho i guess

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Bat For Lashes or whatever the fuck they're called.

some dude, Thursday, 23 June 2011 15:22 (fourteen years ago)

NOOOOO, some dude... You're missing out. I get why it's irritating, but at least 106.7 is something resembling real. Personally, I can barely contain my homicidal rage at "Uh Huh Her" and "The Pains of Being Pure at Heart"...

Clarke B., Thursday, 23 June 2011 15:25 (fourteen years ago)

not really a type of music i listen to a lot of so it's not like i'm willfully depriving myself -- i'm just saying holy shit what a terrible name

some dude, Thursday, 23 June 2011 15:40 (fourteen years ago)

It is supposed to be a pun isn't it?

Derartu Cthulhu (NickB), Tuesday, 31 January 2012 10:38 (fourteen years ago)

It's not a very good one if so. I've hated having to say their name outloud (which I do on occasion if someone asks me for music recommendations).

There's a band in Atlanta called Groove Stain, which is hilarious and the worst name I have ever heard for a band EVER.

Prefab Sprout just recently graduated from being an Artist I've Written Off/Pointedly Ignored Because of Their Name to an Artist I Play Around Other People With Great Trepidation Due To Fear That They Will Ask Me Who It Is and I Will Have To Say Their Name Out Loud.

I remember an band called "Weeknd" placing in some ILM poll... The missing "e" irritates me so much I never want to listen to them.

Missing or superfluous letters automatically put bands on this list for me these days. Just tired of it already.

cwkiii, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 19:50 (thirteen years ago)

Like in Beatles maybe?

Dr X O'Skeleton, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 20:00 (thirteen years ago)

Nah, that happened before I got tired of it. ;)
