The worst are the one's named after songs, like Powderfinger and Baby Lemonade etc.

FFS make your own up.

Short catchy names are best imo like INXS, MC5, AC/DC. Yes.

 

[Bill Walker]

 

[LWashington]

Family Cat..... actually a pretty good and serious band but who's gonna take a band called that seriously

They should have been "Missing Cat" free publicity but then again people might not notice when they are advertising dates of shows.

 

[Coatigan]

And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead

Forgot the three dots at the beginning which are part of the official name.

The worst names are ones you have to explain to people. I'll only include bands I like, for now.

Bad//Dreems - 'Yes two forward slashes mate, dreams spelt with two ees,that's the one.

Portugal.The Man - 'yes an actual dot don't type d.o.t.'

The St.pierre Snake Invasion - just too hard to say drunk.

Cleopatrick - always thought was a bit of a shit name.

Biffy Clyro is one that strangely pulls it off imo, abstract enough but not that much that raises too many questions.

'Snash' is imo a brilliant name, that perfectly captures the band.
