Most band names are stupid, but if they're really good and/or popular, people get used to their names enough that they don't sound obviously stupid.

Obvious example Led Zeppelin. Which is also a good name at the same time, after the band branded it, associating the name with extremely popular music.

Stupid names at this point would be names where you can't Google them and find the band itself. So Dinosaur, Jr.'s original name, being Dinosaur, would suck. So would The Beatles if they spelled it correctly.

I can't decide weather or not Fall Out Boy is a bad band name. Especially since where they really shine is in bad album and song titles, like "I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me & You)".

Panic! at the Disco is pretty bad too, between the fucking exclamation point and the name itself. They also have some really awful song names, and whoever came up with "The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage" probably thought they were being super clever.

As much as I like them, The Dandy Warhols is also a really shit name.

Christmas.

With nothing to go on but the band's name and the fact that they were based in Boston, I had a hell of a time trying to figure out their discography via Google.

Neutral Milk Hotel - no idea what their music is like, the name alone is enough to put me off from trying
"Neutral Milk Hotel? Wow, they sound really exciting!" said nobody ever

Razorlight - shit name, shit band, 'nuff said

Starsailor - named after Tim Buckley's weirdest song and album, but incredibly bland and vanilla

ed: fucking love that word filter

Dick Delicious and the Tasty Testicles are a good band I like. Definitely one of my favorite band names. Their lead singer was actually harassed by our very own lolcow terrorist Eddie a while back.

I saw The GOAT and Your MOM mentioned on the first page, but while it's an odd name, it isn't their full name. It's actually an abbreviation.

The full name is "The God of all Texas and Your Masters of Menace". Guy seems cool as hell, and Quack Like a Duck is one of my favorite songs to play on bass too.
 
I heard about this guy, who can be looked up on google for crimes his committed, who had a band when he was younger called Vagina Blood Farts. Aparently he was very amused and proud of this. ... He was an idiot from what I know about him.
 
My go-to bad band name I've heard of used to be Now, Now Every Children. However, they have long since shortened their name to Now, Now. Still not a good name though.
 
Talula Does the Hula. Named after a kid who was actually named "Talula Does the Hula from Hawaii" and was (IIRC) made a ward of the state because of it.
 
Theocracy.
Good band, but the name has always made me ask some questions about them. They're not terribly political, even though they do sing a lot about God. You can probably ignore their religious themes and focus on their music, which is killer. The name sounds cool, but I wonder if they're trying to prove something. Maybe it's just me being a sperg, though.
