and would it kill you chumps to pick a fucking album name?

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is, by far, the stupidest band name ever.

My vote's for "I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness".

Dumber than Toad the Wet Sprocket?

Please.

One of my music theory profs produced a record for a band called illbeonthefönetoyou. It was as boring as it sounds.

Worse than "Godspeed You! Black Emperor"?

The "Yeah Yeah Yeahs." Checkmate.

Worse than Kajagoogoo? The 80's was a cavalcade of bad band names.

I've carefully reviewed the more than 5,000 artists I have in iTunes, and I'm voting for "Rapider Than Horsepower."

I don't know why, but I just can't ever really get over "Strawberry Alarmclock." Because I blame them for (name-wise) every GODDAMN 90's alternoband.

Worse than Metallica?

How about AC?

Stands for "anal cunt".... they're noise-core with classic song titles like "You're a Trendy Fucking Pussy" and "I Snuck a Retard Into a Sperm Bank." Horrible music, but I love it when people pick up the case and drop it in near revulsion.

reminds me of a graffiti gag from the backstage room at the Tractor Tavern in Seattle. the door is covered with various band names where someone has replaced a strategic word in the name with the word "poop":

Poop Floyd
The Talking Poops
Clap Your Poop Say Yeah (or Clap Your Hands Say Poop)
etc.

but the best two by far are:

John Spencer Poop Explosion
and
And You Shall Know Us by the Trail of the Poop

(sidenote: an overly exuberant foray into playing this little game caused someone to flee my Thanksgiving Dinner in 2005 in a fit of rage. his parting line was "I could write you a doctoral dissertation on why scatalogical humor isn't funny".

we've all been making bizarre "band name" suggestions for years, and it's nice to see the sea change towards the non-silly. silly band names are all well and good until you're trying to come up with something that you, and three other guys are going to have to live with and defend for years to come. t'ain't easy, brother. t'ain't easy at all.

Be ready for your head to explode in three part harmony, for I give you...

Hear'say (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hear'Say)

I never understood the name of Wet Wet Wet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_Wet_Wet) but I loved their first album, 'Popped In, Souled Out'. You might even like them. And you tell people about them and they almost always respond with "what what what?" No, Wet Wet Wet.
