the best band name I've heard is the "The Who" for its initial mystery
the Worst is a tie between "the Doors" and "Black Veil Brides"
not that i have anything against the bands themselves but their names are just well dumb

So what are your picks

All band names that involve "The" followed by anything, the weirder the better, is a great band name. The only exception to that rule is The The because that name is just annoying and obnoxious.

The absolute worst band names that I have come across though would have to be Anal ****, Spermswamp, Cumgun, and pretty much every othwe grindcore band out there has absolutely horrid names.

Well I do like the name Daft Punk. Not something you see often.

Unfortunately, I don't really have much to say about best names, because I judge by the music itself.

However, if you want a really bad band name, I will say "Leaky Mules" and I will shower you with cookies for the reference.

All the names of indie rock bands who mix random words and think they're being clever, or worse, "ironic".

And super angsty whatever-the-hell-core bands that try to be all dark and profound.

Not a fan of indie rock then?

Best name: Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Worst: Cancer

You can't get more positive than three affirmatives. You can't get stupider than naming your band after a terminal disease.

I don't dislike it, I just dislike the extreme hipster types. And even then, if they put out good music, I'll listen to it.

I'll put in a vote for !!! as worst if just for how hard it is to explain it to somebody who doesn't know what you're talking about.

Well that's fair then. I've been accused of some light musical hipsterdom but I don't like hipster deluxe models much myself. They should be strapped to a chair and forcibly shaved.

Hey your that guy who commented on that 14 year old who got drunk and had sex with the babysitter.
"seriously, get that kid a medal. he got game."
I hope that was sarcasm.
