Great name, good band!

Context counts for a lot. I wouldn't normally cross the street to see a band called The Diarrhea of Anne Frank, but I was willing to give them a shot since they were opening for the Jesus Lizard.

I should also add that Fucked Up were awesome when I saw them live.... record kinda failed to capture the visceral experience of a huge man throwing himself at you to some tunes that could have been The Dicks in their heyday.

I really hope there is a messageboard for real ale enthusiasts w/ a thread about beers they were put off drinking because of the stupid name

On that note "Spock's Beard" is pretty intensely awful.
― Vincent and Julio Gallo (Oilyrags), Sunday, 19 April 2009 13:30 (seventeen years ago)
Van Dyke Parks would be an awful name for a band but it's an OK name for a person.

A Tribe Called Quest used to bug me (as a name). But their first couple of albums are damn great, so I got over it.

Maybe we need to have a T/S thread about who is more annoying - Margot et al. vs. AIDS Wolf

Gorky's OTM. Was thinking about that today when "Desolation Blues" came up on shuffle.

"Natalie Portman's Shaved Head" is one of the worst band names ever. Hoobastank is up there too though.
― phantompenguin, Monday, 20 April 2009 03:06 (seventeen years ago)
any band name with 'stank', 'scent', 'smell' or the like will put me off immediately. same for any songs with those words in the title

Animal Collective made me think of hippie jam bands where the musicians have power animals.
well that is pretty accurate

Back in the days of IDM there was an unsigned artist on a record label I sort of ran, who called himself Cell but also ran under a range of pseudonyms including Cel, Sell, Sel etc. but I also remember him using o_O on some of his tracks, which is where I first saw that flavour smiley. His stuff was really good and I remember Aphex Twin being interested in signing him to Rephlex but Cell didn't believe it was really RDJ and told him to fuck off.
― the next grozart, Monday, 20 April 2009 11:59 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah, Animal Collective puts me off. As does A.R.E. Weapons -- who are laughable anyway, so it's a lose-lose situation, really.

a friend reminded me of another one:
Brightblack Morning Light - the reason why I've pointedly written off/ignored Black Moth Superrainbow - because their name sounds like Brightblack Morning Light.
