Names -> Stupid Band Names -> A
These are the band names that we feel are just plain stupid. Bands pick the most absurd names, who wants to be known as a member of the "Butthole Surfers"? We only accept entries for this page that make fun of a band name. Just saying a band is lame (no matter how lame they might be) isn't a good reason for entry.
Name | Description | Submitted by: | ||
| A | Why bother competing with M for the world's shortest band name? | Chris | ||
| A*Teens | If it's a teen, then it is singular, otherwise it's SOME teens. | Savage Jigga | ||
| A*Teens | When ABBA (the world's best group) wouldn't let them use the name "Abba Teens" (I understand them),really, couldn't they come up with something more original? | Me And I | ||
| A-Ha | It's the sound you make when you learn the secret of a magic trick, people! | pauhead | ||
| A;Grumh | Semicolons as letters? This is getting stupider every minute. | Bobo | ||
| Abba | If you say it often enough, it sounds like you're having a fit of some sort. | Timwi | ||
| Abdoujaparov | If they didn't have a song of the same name nobody would know how to pronounce it! Even sillier than the singers old band, Carter USM. | Chris | ||
| AC-DC | I guess they swing both ways | Tom | ||
| AC/DC | AC= alternating current DC= direct current So basically, CORD/BATTERY | Katrina | ||
| Acapella | This band apparently was so successful it couldn't afford any instruments. | Tim | ||
| Adam And The Ants | Ants are easily crushed by humans. (And) Adam And The Eves would have been more appropriate a name since they all were dressed in women's clothes and wore make-up. | LESMANIA.com | ||
| After 7 | What happens then? Is that when you are meant to play the music? | Haz-Man | ||
| Air Supply | What the heck is an air supply? I mean, there's such a thing as a power supply, a water supply, and things like that...but how can one store air to use later? | Clucky The Chicken | ||
| Alice Cooper | The witch, he named himself after, had exactly the same name... which means it couldn't be more unoriginal. | Mads | ||
| Alien Ant Farm | It sounds like a tourist trap, a farm that raises alien ants. | Mac | ||
| All That Remains | If you're all that remains [of the population], who are you going to perform for? | Jonathan S. | ||
| Alter Bridge | Sounds like what you'd tell someone if you wanted to change the Golden Gate. | Jonathan S. | ||
| America | They're cockneys. Is that good enough? | Bobo | ||
| Amorphous Androgynous | Another name The Future Sound of London went under. So what is it... a 'shapeless hermaphrodite'? These guys are cool but I think they really need to think of better names | karnov | ||
| Anal Cunt | This band wanted to have the most offensive band name ever. They had to censor their name because those two words were offensive. Why name your band after a slang term of genetalia? | Paul Warren | ||
| Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman & Howe | Another firm of accountants. No wait, sounds more like a law firm. | Chris | ||
| The Anglo-Persians | The members of this American dance band, which recorded tunes such as "Toytown Admiral" in 1930, are from neither England nor Persia. The band's name appears to have come from a rug manufacturer. | Larry | ||
| Another Bad Creation | Makes me afraid to ask what their last creation was. | united | ||
| The Answer | If by taking this name they mean they believe their music is "the answer" to life's problems, then I'd say they're a little misled. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Arab | You are naming yourself after a race, what the hell? That's like if I changed my name to Caucasian, you know, because I'm white. | hamp | ||
| The Archies | Needless to say, the name makes me think of Archie comic books. Even if that was the intention, they could have come up with a better name. (Or does everyone in the band have the family name Archie?) | Thomas Radigan | ||
| Arctic Monkeys | That's just cruel for the poor monkeys, dontcha think? | Someonebored | ||
| Area 7 | I take it that Area 51 is taken, but 7??? Is there another alien crash landing that we don't know about - and that the CIA doesn't want us to? It doesn't sound too bad for a ska band though. | Haz-Man | ||
| The Artist Formerly Known As Prince | 'nuff said. | Chris Kuan | ||
| As I Lay Dying | Like any band that thinks they're so much deeper than us mere mortals because their skin is talcum powder white and their hair is dyed jet black, just pick the harrowing part out of a morose sentence. Anything connected with death. Ooooh, how deep. (/sarcasm) Other bands in this category: ...And You Shall Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Dead 'Til Friday, and Murder By Death. | ShawnGBR | ||
| Ass Ponys | Sounds like the title of a gay porn flick. | the man | ||
| Atomic Kitten | Makes me think of the PowerPuff girls. Little kittens blasting into space. | red_mozzie | ||
| Audioslave | Great band, but the name makes them sound like they are puppets for the record company. | Ned Riley |

Submissions Are Accepted Again
Much like the stupid song lyrics page, I get a lot of submissions for this page. More than I can really handle. The problem is that I get a lot of "Blink 182 is stupid 'cuz I said so" submissions, which I have to waste time deleting (though not much). I also get a lot of submissions that just aren't funny. I guess the real problem is that the word stupid can mean so many things, and hence every band name could be considered stupid.
So in short, don't bother sending me stupid email about this stupid page, or you're stupid.
If you have a creative/humorous idea, please submit it.
