I think Pink is a second cousin of Jethro Tull.

ev·a·nesce ( P ) Pronunciation Key (v-ns)
intr.v. ev·a·nesced, ev·a·nesc·ing, ev·a·nesc·es

To dissipate or disappear like vapor.


anyway, people are just listing bands they don't like as having bad names and putting bands they do like as having good names. it's pointless.

Pretty much every band name is stupid when you get right down to it. Except maybe Toad The Wet Sprocket.

What's wrong with Ben Folds Five? Relatively sensible name if you ask me.

I dunno, b/c there's only three members?

True, but it's still closer to making sense than "Geggy Tah".

I don't care if it makes sense or not - it's stupid. There were 3 people in the band.

Geggy Tah actually has a sensible explanation behind it (one of the members' little brothers couldn't pronounce their names, Greg and Todd) but it's still a stupid, stupid name.

In fact, those of you that claim any of the names are "good," could you at least give some explanation as to why?

I claim Toad The Wet Sprocket is a good name simply because it's a Monty Python reference.

I can't think of another band that doesn't have a stupid name, regardless of whether I like them.

Dave Matthews Band is another OK one. And I hate them. But it is the band that is lead by the guy named Dave Matthews. No frills, no gimmicks.

Well, there used to be fairly "normal" or sensible names like The Eagles, The Beach Boys, Chicago, The Supremes, etc. I think lots of those are taken now plus people like to come up with wacky names so they stand out.

 

[Aquaman]

Piss Queens

\Ev`a*nes"cence\, n. The act or state of vanishing away; disappearance; as, the evanescence of vapor, of a dream, of earthly plants or hopes. --Rambler.

at least it MEANS something other than how evan smells

That's what I was thinking. I mean it's not his fault his name is Ben Folds. However there were only 3 people in that band... (piano, bass, drums)

 

[imported_yovonbishop]

ben folds three would probably sound even worse though.. ben folds five at least flows better

ben folds five refers to ben folds in a group with 5 people.
linkin park is a real place.

There was only THREE people in Ben Folds Five.

Lincoln Park is a real place. Linkin Park is a silly misspelling.

Besides, I already provided the explanation for Geggy Tah, but it's still a stupid name.
A good reason for it doesn't make it any less stupid.

No one here has given a reason why any of the names they listed as good are somehow less stupid than the ones they listed as bad.

 

[Mo0o]

Any really hardcore metal band has the most retarded band names ever. I dont really know any of them but i remember flamewars where hardcore metal peple will list the "good" bands and all the names sounds like a 12 year old's scifi fantasy.

 

[EmperorIQ]

i'm in a band and we're called "No Time" cause we have no time to play or practice, nor do we know how to play much, we're trying to learn together, and its just the two of us, hahaha, n/m just an inside joke between my friend and I

 

[bandana163]

Die Toten Hosen
and
Fettes Brot
are weird band names as well. Dead Trousers, heh.

 

[Coquito]

You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead

Guano Apes

Rico Suave

 

[FrogDog]

Garbage.
