Artists You've Written Off/Pointedly Ignored because of their name

rufus wainright

that's rufus's dad's fault though -- and loudon is a pretty odd name too.

or at least very old-school WASP sounding. almost "charles emerson winchester III, folksinger"

HI DERE I AM A "TAME IMPALA"

― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor)

calling my next project Contemplative Ostrich

Child Abuse, anyone?

Whenever I think about Tame Impala now, I always get mild lols with Ilxor's pic post in my head.

Umphrey's McGee seconded, if it's been mentioned. If not, shame on all y'all.

A+

Dipping into the Jam Band pool is too easy. Endless thread, endless, e.g.: Disco Biscuits.

RATATAT

Child Abuse is a great band, but then I also like AIDS Wolf, so ...

yeah yeah yeahs is a great band name, except for when you have to say it aloud

Emmy the Great. Give me a fuckin' break.

Alan Pownall.

"Alan", in 2010.

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

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

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!

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

Die Antwoord

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.

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

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

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.

You were correct.

By the way, I now love Pissed Jeans.

Die Antwoord

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

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

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

Tindersticks

Japancakes

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

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

But their name is terrible!

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

Shakatak and Guitar Wolf are dope imo.

Birchville Cat Motel well worth your time.

Die Antwoord

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

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

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.

Donkey Punch
