Bands with stupid names.

Fountains of Wayne - is this his ejaculation?
Velvet Revolver - "well, the word revolver is cool, but that's not going to cut it. Let's arbitrarily throw the word velvet on the front"
Maroon 5 - "there's five of us, and I like the color"
Jimmy Eat World - no comment needed
Modest Mouse - DUMB

Fountains of Wayne is a store in Wayne, NJ where the band took their name.

I nominate Queens of the Stone Age.
 
There used to be a band called "The The" , I think they were going for the deep thought provoking name but instead ending up sounding like a band with a stuttering problem.

i think queens of the stone age is a kick a$$ name

Dogg
 
I think Death Cab For Cutie is an idiotic band name, and their music isn't so hot either.
 
Just plain stupid:

And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Pretty Girls Make Graves
Murder By Death
 
The Rasmus
P. Diddy (Not a band, but stupid anyway, as are many rapper names, so limiting to bands is a good idea, or they list would be huge - but P. Diddy deserves a mention anyway, for being totally retarded).

P diddy sounds terribly unmanly. I was never impressed with it.

Now MA$E - that's a cool name for a rapper.

It sounds like they couldn't decide if they wanted to rip-off Queen of Stone Temple Pilots.
 
Dashboard Confessional
Ben Folds Five
Linkin Park
Geggy Tah

Pretty much every band name is stupid when you get right down to it. Except maybe Toad The Wet Sprocket.
 
OK, I want one good band name for each of the "stupid" names you guys are bitching about. We'll start with 5 from Skoorb.
 
Good names:

Something Corporate
The Police
Dog's Eye View
Domestic Problems
AFI (A Fire Inside)


EDIT: RATM is a good name too, considering their musical context.

SlipKnot

Deftones

Marilyn Manson

Crystal Method

Rage Against The Machine

Rage against the machine is possibly the best band name ever
