Names -> Stupid Band Names -> B
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: | ||
| B.Z.N. (Dutch for Band Without a Name!) | If you HAVE a name, why say that you haven't??? | Siebe Wynberg | ||
| Baby's Gang | Do they have to change their leader's diapers between numbers? | Todd W. Zimmerman | ||
| Backstreet Boys | 1.It's pointless. 2.It sounds way too much like "Buttstreak Boys." | ~*^Girl^*~ | ||
| Backstreet Boys | It sounds like a modernized Tom Sawyer book. Or rummies on a street curb. | Vesta84 | ||
| Bad Religion | To paraphrase Juliette Lewis in "Cape Fear": "You're a bad religion. Bad! Bad! Bad!" | independent | ||
| Badfinger | I DON'T want to know why it's bad! | Ivan | ||
| Bananarama | I mean c'mon, its a friggin' banana... rama.... you ever seen a bunch of bananas having a rama? | mr. man | ||
| The Band | There are TONS of other bands, than them. | Mr. Critic | ||
| The Band | Come on, this is the most cocky, selfindulged name of all. I mean, it's like they're saying, "we're so great, we're not just A band, we're THE Band." | Sondra | ||
| The Band | Can you imagine trying to sign a gig these days? " What is your name? Uh, we call ourselves "The Band"" | The Big Show | ||
| The Band | Just think about it. We know they are a band but they should come up with a more creative name. | Daniel L | ||
| The Bangles | First, it can be easily confused with a sucky NFL football team from Cincinnati. Second, they wear every jewelry except a bangle. | girly girl | ||
| Barcode Brothers | They aren't brothers and Barcode isn't their last names. | Mads | ||
| Barenaked Ladies | They're not even women. And the thought of them barenaked, (shivers). | Stockton | ||
| Basehead | Look, Ump! Darryl Strawberry's snorting third base. | blaque | ||
| Bay City Rollers | Apparently they stuck a pin in a map and it turned out to be Bay City. Come on! These guys were from Scotland! | Purple | ||
| BBMak | 1) Sounds like an extra value meal at McDonalds. 2) Sounds like MY name, which I find very offensive | Mac | ||
| The Beatles | If you want to pay homage to Buddy Holly's Crickets, spell it Beetles. Beatles is beat. | LILIWHITE | ||
| Belle & Sebastian | What you get when you combine characters from two Disney films, Beauty & The Beast and The Little Mermaid. | Vic George | ||
| Ben Folds Five | Wouldn't be so stupid if there were 5 people in the band. Maybe he failed math..... | Cerulean | ||
| Better Than Ezra | How the hell do they know they are better than Ezra? And what are they better at anyway? And why hasn't Ezra sued them for slander! | anon | ||
| Big Head Todd and the Monsters | So what do the band members say: "Hi, I'm bob, I'm a monster." | superhero blue | ||
| Bill Murray's Prostate | First of all...ewww. Second, did they think this was cool?!?! | Lindsey | ||
| Billy Gillman | It sounds like he's some 75 year old man who is a hillBILLY | Princess Chic | ||
| Billy Talent | Is it his last name? Sounds like an insult: "yeah, HE'S a regular Billy Talent." | Chrystal | ||
| Biota | What is this supposed to mean anyways? | ChuckyG | ||
| Black Sabbath | It sounds like they're darkening a holy day. | brainstem | ||
| Blind Melon | I guess this goes along with a deaf cantilope and a crippled apple | Billy Florio | ||
| Blink 182 | As in Blink 182 times to understand our music? | Raphael von Brasch | ||
| The Blow Monkeys | What kind of sicko freak would blow monkeys? | Chris | ||
| Blue Oyster Cult | How d'ya imagine a Blue Oyster? Or a Blue Cult? Why cult? It remembers me of a snob restaurant at the shore... their music is good, but that name... | SnakeHipsBoy | ||
| The Blues Magoos | My guess when they named this band, this 60's Bronx group either was on drugs or had a bad T.V. reception when watching "Mr. Magoo". | oldschool | ||
| Bolt Thrower | Someone kept in detention for messing around in a metalwork class? | Chris | ||
| Bone Thugs n Harmony | Bone - yep, good, tough word. Thugs - again, very tough word. So far so good. Harmony - the singing thugs? I've never heard of any of those (certainly not ones who sing like Bone really do). | Haz-Man | ||
| Bow Wow Wow | Sit, Ubu, sit...good dog! (Rowf!) That's what it makes me think of. | Vic George | ||
| Bowling For Soup | I'm sure it's supposed to mean "putting soup in bowls", but to me it sounds more like the sport of bowling, with soup involved. | Jessica | ||
| Box of Frogs | To think that the band formerly known as the Yardbirds were reduced to this! | Greg G. | ||
| Boy Meets Girl | I'll bet on Girl in 10 rounds. | MOR | ||
| Boyz II Men | You wouldn't expect rap artists to spell correctly, but this is a regular R & B band. What's their excuse? | soul ii soul | ||
| Boyz ii Men | Sounds frighteningly like a NAMBLA advertisement... | Chris Kuan | ||
| Boyzone | Sounds like a gay club (or worse) | Chris | ||
| Bran Van 3000 | The band is great, but their name sounds like an extra-strength laxative..."Buy new Bran Van 3000--guaranteed to move you..." | Natasha | ||
| Bread | Were they eating bread when they were choosing what to name their band? | Paul Warren | ||
| The Breakfast Club | This confused the heck out of me when their only hit song "Back On Track" came out in 1987. I heard this band came out before the movie did in 1984, but why go out in 1987 with this name...? | Vic George | ||
| Breaking Benjamin | Shattering some poor guy's bones isn't my idea of a cool band name. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Brown Bannister | Former producer of Amy Grant's albums and a talented Christian songwriter himself. Unfortunately, his name makes me think of someone sliding naked down the hand rail of a staircase. | Christian | ||
| Bubba Sparxxx | Seriously. Whose last name is Sparxxx? Are you from, like, Neptune or something? Even if it isn't "Bubba's" last name, what kind of a band name is Bubba Sparxxx? | Qwee | ||
| The Buggles | Sounds like a kid's show | Vic George | ||
| The Buggles | Sounds like a parody on The Beatles. | Mads | ||
| Bullet For My Valentine | Perhaps they mean it literally, but I still keep thinking of it as a sexual euphimism. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Burning Death Machine Against theNeo-NazisofSweden | For such a long-winded name, this was a short-lived band in Saginaw, MI. Only one of the members was Swedish in any way, and what exactly is up with the Neo-Nazi reference in their name? Last I checked, "Burning Death Machine" without the adjective phrase wasn't taken. Supposedly, the band picked the name knowing full well it was absurd, because they didn't know how long they'd even be together as a band anyway. | BulldozerBegins | ||
| Bush | Naming your band after a typical shrub is kind of dull, and more importantly, I can't look at, or hear, the name without thinking of George W. Bush (or his daddy, for that matter). | Jonathan S. | ||
| Busta Rhymes | There was actually a football player for the Oklahoma Sooners named Buster Rhymes. I'm surprised that 1) it hasn't confused more Oklahomans and 2) that Buster Rhymes hasn't sued this guy. | Aaron | ||
| Busta Rhymes | What does "Busta" rhyme with? | Kitt | ||
| Butt Trumpet | who wants to have brass up their ass? Not I! | Harry | ||
| Butt Trumpet | So, they're implying that their music sounds like flatulence? | p00v | ||
| Butthole Surfers | I really didn't need to know about your sex life. | FireWoman | ||
| Butthole Surfers | You say, "Hey Dad! Can I have $50 to go see a cool band?" He asks, "What concert are you going to go see?" At that point you can forget getting the money, let alone the approval to go to the show. "And don't repeat that discusting band name in front of your mother!" | Mitch | ||
| Butthole Surfers | Oh, c'mon! | cherrytree | ||
| Butthole Surfers | It sounds like some 4 year old's attempt at raw toilet humour, which doesn't please anyone who isn't, well, a four year old. | TullyGirl |

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.
