Bands with stupid names.

[royaldank]

When I first saw the name Slipknot, I thought it was going to be a dead cover/tribute band. Boy was I wrong.

 

[Mucho]

A band I like but whose name I really hate is: Garbage

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.

Da Band...the band P. Diddy put together....that's a stupid name.

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.

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