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.

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

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.
