Best & worst band names

[HecticArt]

One of my rules about picking a band name is that I have to be able to say it to a potential client or coworker.

Not that we need one, but we still don’t have a name.
I also haven’t lost any clients, gotten fired, or called down to HR for any meetings.

The Architects name is already taken but I'm sure you will come up something cute, clever and inoffensive.

Everyone wants to pretend they are architects.


Back in the late 90’s I wanted to call my band “Short Bus” if I’d started one back then.
It prolly wouldn’t have gone over very well. (Either the name, or quality of the band.)

It was nice of you to ensure the name remained available so a punk band from Long Beach could use it.

It was more about the lack of motivation and talent than consideration for the other guy.

They aren’t as bad as I thought they might be.

That could be the band name! Like 'No Use For A Name' etc. Then we could list it here!

Good band. I dig 'em. Heavy! They're one of a handful of bands I'll be adding to my "high fives" thread at the end of the year.

Filter's first album with "Hey Man Nice Shot" is named Short Bus.

Filter's first album with "Hey Man Nice Shot" is named Short Bus.

Once I discovered Filter had used it, I was glad I hadn’t.
It took me a while after that to realize there were other reasons too…..

When I first saw it, I figured it was another studio term, like Filter. But a few years later I remembered what it meant back when I was in junior high and went "Oh..."

I'm confused... are you saying it's the best name, or the worst?

One of my rules for picking a band name is: If I can't say the name to a client, it's out.
But I'm guessing those guys don't worry about that, not having jobs and living in their mom's basement and whatnot.

[sadchild]

You mean you can't tell which bands these are by their logos??

 

[HecticArt]

What's the deal with those crazy fonts that nobody can read?
