Names -> Stupid Band Names -> J

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.

Submitted by:
J-Lo ...and we'll call Alanis Morisette A-Mo, Elton John E-Jo, Janet Jackson J-Ja...come on, Jennifer!  Unicorn
J-Lo Sounds like Jell-O. I guess there's always room for a performer named Jell-O...I mean, J-Lo! Vic George
J. Lo Sorry, Jen, but just cause you change your name doesn't mean that people will change their opinion of you. Danielle
The Jam You want toast with that? Matt
James Not particularly easy to remember, gets confused with James Taylor, James Dean, Etta James, anyone with the first or last name "James", any place names, any companies, etc.. it's very hard to search for on the Internet! And there's six of them as well. Ask a James fan "What do you think of him?" and he'll punch you!  Dan Abnormal
Jazz Is Dead  I can imagine a couple of old men who were born in the 1920s protesting to change their name outside venues. How could they name their band after a genre with a rich history?!?! Devin
Jefferson Airplane/
Jefferson Starship/
Starship
 Okay, first rule of Band Names: Never change the name of your band! Second rule of Band Names: Never change the name of your band! Last rule of Band Names: don't give your band a name that could possibly be the name of a PBS kid's show. pauhead
Jehovah's Waitresses If you're going to make fun of religious groups, go after the big ones! El Davo
Jesus Christ Smokes Holy Gasoline First rule of band names : No religious reference, someone is bound to take offence. Second rule of band names : Don't pick your words out randomly hat the of. Third rule of band names : Surely Austrian bands need more Austrian names. Bobo
Jesus Jones From the same record label as: "Buddha Smith" , "Muhhamed Davis" , and "Confucious Wilson."  Cerulean
Jimmy Eat World Jimmy Eat World? How fat does this Jimmy guy have to be? Godzilla Eat World would make more sense, but whatever. Also, the initials spell JEW. Don't think that's supposed to mean anything though. Tony
Jimmy the Hoover Malcolm McLaren named them. He also named the Sex Pistols. Somehow Jimmy the Hoover doesn't quite have the same impact. Chris
Jimmy Underpass And The 5 Way's Combo this was a name which Black Sabbath's manager came up with, luckily the group didn't agree with it. Can you imagine asking for a CD? "can I have a Jimmy Underpass and the 5 way's combo CD please?" Mark
Jimmy's Chicken Shack They sound like a bunch of HICKS! Dude
Jimmy's Chicken Shack Welcome to Jimmy's Chicken Shack, can I take your order? Vesta84
Jimmys Chicken shack sounds like the snack bar at the annual fair in GREENBOUGH ALABAMA. kwic
JJ72 Sounds like a tragically very, very big bra size. If you were to have this particular size, you would probably explode! Dan Abnormal
Job For A Cowboy Because nothing says "death metal" like the old west. hamp
John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. People for the ethical treatment of animals is hot on the trail of John Cafferty for hiring small bucktoothed mammals to perform.  P. H.
Johnny After 4 What if they play before 4:00... ? Are they going to hell or something ? I mean there isn't even someone named Johnny in the band... can Johnny play before 4:00? Mega
Johnny Hates Jazz That's nice that you hate jazz, Jonny, since I know that I'm probably the only one who knows "Shattered Dreams," and no one would remember Louis Armstrong or anything. pauhead
Jurassic 5 What are they dinosaurs or something?? Timmy

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.
