apinagez Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 What are, in your opinion, the best and the worst band names ever? Personal preference, creativity, influence. Everything counts. For me, Led Zeppelin in definitely a good one. I like Sonata Arctica and King Crimson as well. As for the worst, Emerson, Lake and Palmer is certainly a bad one. Cream is another name I never liked. ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Emperor Fun Lovin' Criminals but above all: The Smashing Pumpkins and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. horrible names: all those ridiculous death metal names.

sanday79 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Good: Kottonmouth Kings, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Avenged Sevenfold, Motley Crue, Rage Against The Machine, Soundgarden These are bands that don't exist (to my knowledge, but would be funny names): -Jazz Chap Charlies (I dunno why, it's just funny) -Plumbum Dirigible (LZ cover band) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Putter Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Good: Insane Clown Posse...Good because, I can't believe they actually made it into the mainstream, atleast for a time, with such a ridiculous name. And it's kind of funny the first few times you hear it. Bad: Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds. -Has absolutely no ring, is just their names (Simon and Garfunkle atleast is exceptable in length, and has a big of ring to it). -It doesn't even have a short form (example, Creedence Clearwater Revival - CCR) -I don't even know why the word "Joe" was put in. Also bad- "Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young", but unlike the former, it's all last names and atleast has a short forum (though a short form without a ring, either...See-see-are is so easy to say...See-ess-enn-why is kind of tricky) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Alex85 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 horrible names: all those ridiculous death metal names. What's so cool about 'Slayer', ' Napalm Death', ' Cannibal Corpse', 'Anthrax' or even simply 'Death'? Anthrax aren't death metal. >.> Some lamer ones are like, Dragonforce (good band though) and Iced Earth (excellent band, but it kinda sounds like a coffee flavour ). Some cool ones are Blue Oyster Cult, Megadeth (only 'cause of Mustaine's quote on what a Megadeth is), Motorhead (woo), and Tower Of Power. For every awesome band name, there's a bout a blillion kamillion bad ones. ;o It really has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
