I may be forgetting some, but the following band names are so bad that Panic! At the Disco suddenly seems like the title of a buried Hitchcock picture.

1. Anal C*** - Nothing needs to be said really. Their music is just as bad though. Really.
2. Pissed Jeans - I’m not sure if I’ve ever heard these guys’ music or if I ever will because I’ll never get passed their horrid name.
3. Shit Disco - When I was young I thought this was the only kind of disco. Band name still sucks, though.
4. Test Icicles - Oh, you guys are so clever. Clever like the writers of Balls of Fury. “Get this guys; we’ll call our selves testicles, but not really, but when everyone first sees our name on a poster, they’ll think it’s about testicles. How’s that for getting noticed?” What, were these guys 12 when they named their band… or just stinking plastered?
5. Gay Against You - That doesn’t make sense even.
6. The Number 12 Looks Like You - That’s… honestly, I don’t know what.
7. Hoobastank - Wow, you guys sure dodged a bullet by changing your name from Hoobustank to Hoobastank. Psyche! Isn’t it pronounced the same anyways? Well, your They Sure Don't Make Basketball Shorts Like they Used To album was good, at least. It went downhill with each subsequent release after.
8. Cut Off Your Hands - Yeah, screw slitting wrists. Just cut the whole bloody appendage off!
9. Pants Yell! - They do what now? I’ve only heard one song from this band, and it was surprisingly very good, but that name… uggh… but I spared them by putting them low because of that one song.
10. !!! - Also known as Chk Chk Chk, This band are actually alright, but how pretentious is this? Seems stupid for marketing. How do you market a triple exclamation point that’s actually pronounced as the sounds kids make when they are emulating machine guns with their mouths?

If anyone is reading this, feel free to supply more terrible band names. And for the record, I started listening to …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead simply based on their band name; it was that intriguing, so I always wonder why it makes it on so many people’s lists of the same nature as mine above. Sure, it’s pretentious, but so is their music, and with boring post-Creed rock (I guess I could call it post-post-grunge) like Fray, Papa Roach, Alter Bridge and State of Shock on the radio waves, what’s wrong with being ostentatious?
