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.

[Lonyo]

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).

Rage against the machine is possibly the best band name ever
