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.

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.

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.

Is there a band called o_O ?
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.

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.

Pure at heart = 'underneath all the evil, he's actually a nice bloke'
Pure of heart = 'doesn't drink,smoke,swear, and spends all his spare time reading the bible'
or something like that.
― Mark G, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 08:56 (seventeen years ago)
for a long time i did not give radiohead a chance. partly due to their ridiculous name, partly due to the hype, partly due to thom yorke's voice. from amnesiac on i listened to their music.
― alex in mainhattan, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 09:13 (seventeen years ago)
with coldplay though everything is in harmony. a stupid name, a shitty voice, empty lyrics which seem to be written by a robot. plus boring music which isn't worth commenting on.

There have been occasions where bands have gone "ah, we're a bit shit, let's give ourselves a stupid name" and then for some reason get sudden success.
Farmer's Boys, e.g.
