I miss Isis a lot but it's probably good that they broke up when they did and not like 2-3 years later

1000 Homo DJs was a Ministry offshoot that was good but probably understandably didn't get much airplay due to the name.

I'm not the authority on whether or not that name is appropriate but I think it's kinda great.

I don't mind the name because I'm guessing it's a reference to a song on the Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. Soundtrack called Run Rabbit Junk but very few will get that reference. I've never thought of it like a rabbits junk before.

I love "tit", great band.

Some of these acts are good, some not so much, but I'm done with names like Soccer Mommy, Sports Team, Dad Sports. Its like how for a while everyone had "Beach" or "Surf" in their name or "Crystal" or "Wolf" a few years prior.

i never felt more like an idiot when i was hanging out with some family who only listen to the top 10 on the radio and they were asking me what kind of music i was into and it was my Montreal post-rock phase. Godspeed You! Black Emperor? A Silver Mt. Zion? Set Fire to Flames? Do Make Say Think? Valley of the Giants? just couldn't explain it to them.

love'em all but bunch of pretentious names.

(except I think Do Make Say Think is a pretty great name)

Can Guitar Wolf have a pass? They were Wolf long before most, and they shred.

Yes, for the reasons you state and because of their possession of a Rock and Roll License.

Some of their stuff is really good but it's hard to recommend Necro Deathmort. They have been called Reznor producing Sunn but that name is pretty bad

Foo Fighters. Stupid.

Anyone who disagrees is wrong. Dave Grohl just used that as his mixtape name and it stuck.


Also...not sure if Powerman 5000 is a lovely name or a great name. I'm leaning towards cool name and cool band.

Here's a band with a lovely name....Big Head Todd and the Monsters. But Broken Hearted Savior is probably their only good song.

Cherry Poppin' Daddies was a local band here before they got national attention, and for a while local venues wouldn't let them use their name on posters and such. For like a year there were all these awesome pun posters, my favorite of which I think was "Mary Poppins Daddies." Not my favorite band but they are pretty good, and I used to drink with a few members back in the day.

I always thought it was weird that Andrew Jackson Jihad decided to change their name because it was offensive but then just change it to AJJ. We all know what that stands for

Also gonna cosign !!! and Oneohtrix Point Never. I think Butthole Surfers is a good name though

Dead Kennedys is a fine enough name for a sarcastic punk band but Jello Biafra is a loving stupid name and it’s pretty funny that he’s stuck with it all these years.

It’s been five decades since Biafra even existed so the juxtaposition between jello and the famine are lost on drat near everyone now. Or even back then, really.
