Names -> Stupid Band Names -> R
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: | ||
| The Raconteurs | Nobody knows was the heck a raconteur is. And does this sound like a music band name? | Rock Maninoff | ||
| Radiohead | Wow... only if my head was a radio, I just don't know what I would do? | Jesus Christ | ||
| Rage Against the Machine | It sounds like someone got angry when there computer crashed. | Chris | ||
| The Railing Stains | Too many Rolling Stones tribute bands already, all the good names are taken | Chris | ||
| Rainbow | the band is ok, but Rainbow?, does George, Jeff, Bungle and Zippy, no about this?? | Mark | ||
| Rainbow Butt Monkeys | Who gives their band such a dumb name? What does it mean anyways? | Celeste | ||
| Rainbow Butt Monkeys | I am not lying there was a band who's name consisted of butt, monkey and rainbow. You probably haven't heard of them beacuse they changed their name to finger eleven, I guess they got embaressed. | Clea | ||
| The Rainbow ButtMonkeys | Finger Eleven was originally called the Rainbow ButtMonkeys- they even put out a CD under that name. They eventually dropped the name and called themselves Finger Eleven. Can you blame them? What person in their right mind wants to be called a "buttmonkey"? Even if they are of the rainbow variety, they still come out of the butt. | Joe Song | ||
| Rancid | One of those names that's simply too easy to make fun of. "That band stinks!" / "They don't just stink, man - They're Rancid!" SEE? | Jonathan S. | ||
| Raphael Saadiq | For one thing, his real name, Raphael Wiggins, is pronounceable, as opposed to this. For another, one possible pronunciation has a last syllable that sounds like an offensive word! | Amanda | ||
| Rare Blend | Folger's Good To The Last Drop. | Suga' Baby | ||
| Red Hot Chili Peppers | Makes us think they are to be eaten. | Mads | ||
| Red Hot Chili Peppers | Oh come on, everyone knows that red chili peppers are not the hottest of all. What was wrong with yellow hot chili peppers?! | kayla | ||
| Red Ryder | They named themselves after the air rifle in "A Christmas Story". Could somebody bust an eardrum listening to their music? | Ugly Betty Rubble | ||
| Reel 2 Real | Fishing comes 2 mind, movies. Music? | Suga' Baby | ||
| The Replacements | Who are they replacing?!! | Paul Bear | ||
| The Residents | They all have eyeballs for heads. Who'd want to sell a home to these freaks? | Peter Dick | ||
| The Reverend Horton Heat | 1)This man is obviously not a man of the cloth. 2)Wasn't Horton the elephant of Dr. Suess fame? 3)And what kind of heat is he packing? | Jesus Saves | ||
| Right Said Fred | Huh? hmm...let's just listen to the next three words in the conversation next to us ???? How about Left Said Wilma? | Harry | ||
| Rise Against | I only think it's dumb because it's an incomplete sentence: "Rise against" . . Rise against WHAT?!! | Jonathan S. | ||
| Rob Zombie | Sounds like bad advice. Don't expect much cash. | dmz | ||
| Rob Zombie | It's just awkward to have a regular first name combined with a made-up last name. And, really, who wants to go around telling people, "Hello, my name is Robert Zombie"? | Jonathan S. | ||
| Rocket From the Crypt | Are rockets typically launched from crypts? Wouldn't "Missle From the Silo" have sounded better? Or couldn't they have used it? The name sounds like some sort of lame reference to sex. | Tom Radigan | ||
| Roxy Music | Excuse me, but what kind of music is roxy music? Is it music played with rocks?!! | Rock Maninoff | ||
| Ruff Ryders | Again with the cacography! And it sounds less like Theodore Roosevelt's band of soldiers than a group of violent anal sex fiends. | Marcus van der Meer |

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.
