Some friends of mine at one point in time were talking about starting an 'erotic grindcore' band and I don't recall the hypothetical name but it was somethin like that.

I mean if I had moved into a place and found a shoebox full of erotic poetry that would have been my first inclination too but just sayin, the idea doesn't really lend it self to really good band names.

I always kind of regret not buying the tape by Barney Rubble and the Cunt Stubble that I saw in 1991.

yes! blues traveller ghastly name
the major English prog names are comparatively good I think: King Crimson, Yes, Genesis. Gentle Giant isn't a terrible name but it's faintly embarrassing, which might be worse. Probably just bugs me because they are the only major prog band I still listen to. I can't stand looking at that first album cover (or looking at them though either).
― Vic Perry, Thursday, 11 December 2014 17:45 (nine years ago) link
If they had put out an album called "I'm Huey Lewis, Here Now the News," they could have ruled the "Horrible '70s Album Titles" thread.

the new real estate album is good. it's definitely unobtrusive and "boring," sure, but in a melancholy, wistful way. a lot of chillwave-affiliated music is in the tradition of satie and (ambient) eno -- it's not supposed to be exciting.
