Names -> Stupid Band Names -> A
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: | ||
| A | Why bother competing with M for the world's shortest band name? | Chris | ||
| A*Teens | If it's a teen, then it is singular, otherwise it's SOME teens. | Savage Jigga | ||
| A*Teens | When ABBA (the world's best group) wouldn't let them use the name "Abba Teens" (I understand them),really, couldn't they come up with something more original? | Me And I | ||
| A-Ha | It's the sound you make when you learn the secret of a magic trick, people! | pauhead | ||
| A;Grumh | Semicolons as letters? This is getting stupider every minute. | Bobo | ||
| Abba | If you say it often enough, it sounds like you're having a fit of some sort. | Timwi | ||
| Abdoujaparov | If they didn't have a song of the same name nobody would know how to pronounce it! Even sillier than the singers old band, Carter USM. | Chris | ||
| AC-DC | I guess they swing both ways | Tom | ||
| AC/DC | AC= alternating current DC= direct current. So basically, CORD/BATTERY | Katrina | ||
| The Academy Is... | I love their music, but seriously; the academy is... is WHAT?! It just seems like an unfinished name. | Random Madeupperson | ||
| The Academy Is... | Is what? It's an incomplete sentence. That's like if I just stopped typing right here and... | Anne | ||
| Acapella | This band apparently was so successful it couldn't afford any instruments. | Tim | ||
| Accidental Suicide | Suicide cannot be accidental. Suicide, by definition, is killing yourself purposely! Maybe they should learn what a word means before using it in their band name, instead of creating an oxymoron. | Travis | ||
| Adagio | 'Adagio' is part of the name of many musical compositions (mainly classical). So if you try to do a search (like on amazon.com, for example) for the band called 'Adagio', the few listings of their albums will be buried, drowinging in a sea of results referring to composition titles containing 'Adagio'. | Doodah Bobo | ||
| Adam And The Ants | Ants are easily crushed by humans. (And) Adam And The Eves would have been more appropriate a name since they all were dressed in women's clothes and wore make-up. | LESMANIA.com | ||
| After 7 | What happens then? Is that when you are meant to play the music? | Haz-Man | ||
| Air Supply | What the heck is an air supply? I mean, there's such a thing as a power supply, a water supply, and things like that...but how can one store air to use later? | Clucky The Chicken | ||
| Alice Cooper | The witch, he named himself after, had exactly the same name... which means it couldn't be more unoriginal. | Mads | ||
| Alice In Chains | I bet they chose this name solely for shock value. Who else would name a band after a woman in bondage? | Rocky Rhoades | ||
| Alien Ant Farm | It sounds like a tourist trap, a farm that raises alien ants. | Mac | ||
| All That Remains | If you're all that remains [of the population], who are you going to perform for? | Jonathan S. | ||
| The All-American Rejects | You have got to be kidding me. Who puts rejects in their name? | Trevor | ||
| Alter Bridge | Sounds like what you'd tell someone if you wanted to change the Golden Gate. | Jonathan S. | ||
| America | They're cockneys. Is that good enough? | Bobo | ||
| America | Naming a band after a continent is both ridiculous and excessive. The same goes for Asia and Europe. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Amorphous Androgynous | Another name The Future Sound of London went under. So what is it... a 'shapeless hermaphrodite'? These guys are cool but I think they really need to think of better names | karnov | ||
| Anal Cunt | Come on. Does this really need any explanation? | Adam | ||
| Anal Cunt | This band wanted to have the most offensive band name ever. They had to censor their name because those two words were offensive. Why name your band after a slang term of genetalia? | Paul Warren | ||
| Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman & Howe | Another firm of accountants. No wait, sounds more like a law firm. | Chris | ||
| Angie Aparo | Angie is traditionally a girl's name...but this person is a guy! | Mr. Critic | ||
| The Anglo-Persians | The members of this American dance band, which recorded tunes such as "Toytown Admiral" in 1930, are from neither England nor Persia. The band's name appears to have come from a rug manufacturer. | Larry | ||
| Another Bad Creation | Makes me afraid to ask what their last creation was. | united | ||
| The Answer | If by taking this name they mean they believe their music is "the answer" to life's problems, then I'd say they're a little misled. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Apocalyptica | Sounds like a lame rip-off of Metallica. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Arab | You are naming yourself after a race, what the hell? That's like if I changed my name to Caucasian, you know, because I'm white. | hamp | ||
| Arab Strap | Sounds like a dirty little toy that a high school girl could use to pleasure herself. | hekifier | ||
| Archers of Loaf | Does this mean you shoot bow and arrow at loaf? | Travis | ||
| The Archies | Needless to say, the name makes me think of Archie comic books. Even if that was the intention, they could have come up with a better name. (Or does everyone in the band have the family name Archie?) | Thomas Radigan | ||
| Arctic Monkeys | That's just cruel for the poor monkeys, dontcha think? | Someonebored | ||
| Arctic Monkeys | This is slightly self explanitory. I'm not sure if they know this but you can't find many monkeys in the arctic regions...that's where it's cold. | Travis | ||
| Area 7 | I take it that Area 51 is taken, but 7??? Is there another alien crash landing that we don't know about - and that the CIA doesn't want us to? It doesn't sound too bad for a ska band though. | Haz-Man | ||
| The Artist Formerly Known As Prince | 'nuff said. | Chris Kuan | ||
| As I Lay Dying | Like any band that thinks they're so much deeper than us mere mortals because their skin is talcum powder white and their hair is dyed jet black, just pick the harrowing part out of a morose sentence. Anything connected with death. Ooooh, how deep. (/sarcasm) Other bands in this category: ...And You Shall Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Dead 'Til Friday, and Murder By Death. | ShawnGBR | ||
| Asia | Not a single member is from Asia. They're all British. Does that make any sense? | Paul Bear | ||
| Ass Ponys | Sounds like the title of a gay porn flick. | the man | ||
| Atari Teenage Riot | Sounds like a bunch of kids got together to protest against Sony and Nintendo. "Down with the PS3! Up with the 2600!" | Jonathan S. | ||
| Atomic Kitten | Makes me think of the PowerPuff girls. Little kittens blasting into space. | red_mozzie | ||
| Atreyu | This sounds like Betray You. I'm not sure if this is what they were aiming for but that's what it sounds like. Like there song 'Blow' suggests, this name 'blows' as well. | Travis | ||
| Audioslave | Great band, but the name makes them sound like they are puppets for the record company. | Ned Riley | ||
| The Audition | I guess they failed it. | Maya |

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.
