Names -> Stupid Band Names -> B
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: | ||
| B.Z.N. (Dutch for Band Without a Name!) | If you HAVE a name, why say that you haven't??? | Siebe Wynberg | ||
| Baby Bash | This sounds like a crime. Are they child abusers? | Travis | ||
| Baby Bash | Sounds like a crime, which someone should be arrested for: harming babies. | JD | ||
| Baby's Gang | Do they have to change their leader's diapers between numbers? | Todd W. Zimmerman | ||
| Backstreet Boys | It sounds like a modernized Tom Sawyer book. Or rummies on a street curb. | Vesta84 | ||
| Backstreet Boys | 1.It's pointless. 2.It sounds way too much like "Buttstreak Boys." | ~*^Girl^*~ | ||
| Bad Religion | To paraphrase Juliette Lewis in "Cape Fear": "You're a bad religion. Bad! Bad! Bad!" | independent | ||
| Badfinger | I DON'T want to know why it's bad! | Ivan | ||
| Badly Drawn Boy | Sounds more to me like a badly picked name. | Mr. Critic | ||
| Bananarama | I mean c'mon, its a friggin' banana... rama.... you ever seen a bunch of bananas having a rama? | mr. man | ||
| The Band | There are TONS of other bands, than them. | Mr. Critic | ||
| The Band | Just think about it. We know they are a band but they should come up with a more creative name. | Daniel L | ||
| The Band | Come on, this is the most cocky, selfindulged name of all. I mean, it's like they're saying, "we're so great, we're not just A band, we're THE Band." | Sondra | ||
| The Band | Can you imagine trying to sign a gig these days? " What is your name? Uh, we call ourselves "The Band"" | The Big Show | ||
| Bang Camaro | Makes me think they want to put a dent in somebody's car! | Jonathan S. | ||
| The Bangles | First, it can be easily confused with a sucky NFL football team from Cincinnati. Second, they wear every jewelry except a bangle. | girly girl | ||
| Barcode Brothers | They aren't brothers and Barcode isn't their last names. | Mads | ||
| Barenaked Ladies | They're not even women. And the thought of them barenaked, (shivers). | Stockton | ||
| Basehead | Look, Ump! Darryl Strawberry's snorting third base. | blaque | ||
| Bay City Rollers | Apparently they stuck a pin in a map and it turned out to be Bay City. Come on! These guys were from Scotland! | Purple | ||
| BBMak | 1) Sounds like an extra value meal at McDonalds. 2) Sounds like MY name, which I find very offensive | Mac | ||
| Beastie Boys | It wouldn't be, except the "B" in Beastie (which is actually an acronym) is supposed to STAND for "Boys." They're using it twice, thus the name is redundant. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Belle & Sebastian | What you get when you combine characters from two Disney films, Beauty & The Beast and The Little Mermaid. | Vic George | ||
| Ben Folds Five | Why couldn't he have just recruited two more members? I respect the fact that he didn't like the sound of 'Ben Folds Three', but he could've just had a couple more members so the name would reflect how many people there were. At least the Dave Clark Five was a quintet... | Mr. Critic | ||
| Ben Folds Five | Wouldn't be so stupid if there were 5 people in the band. Maybe he failed math..... | Cerulean | ||
| Better Than Ezra | How the hell do they know they are better than Ezra? And what are they better at anyway? And why hasn't Ezra sued them for slander! | George | ||
| Bhundu Boys | May be cool in Zimbabwe, but to me it sounds like - boys of the bhundu tribes - (actually it means 'bush' or 'jungle') | Pranav Jawale | ||
| Big & Rich | Name sounds purely like bragging, making it a band that would hardly be expected to much respect its fans, Fans could well feel passed off as insignificant peons by the band name. | Tiffany Llewellyn-Affit | ||
| Big Head Todd and the Monsters | So what do the band members say: "Hi, I'm bob, I'm a monster." | superhero blue | ||
| Bill Murray's Prostate | First of all...ewww. Second, did they think this was cool?!?! | Lindsey | ||
| Billy Gillman | It sounds like he's some 75 year old man who is a hillBILLY | Princess Chic | ||
| Billy Talent | Is it his last name? Sounds like an insult: "yeah, HE'S a regular Billy Talent." | Chrystal | ||
| Biota | What is this supposed to mean anyways? | ChuckyG | ||
| Black Sabbath | It sounds like they're darkening a holy day. | brainstem | ||
| Blind Melon | I guess this goes along with a deaf cantilope and a crippled apple | Billy Florio | ||
| Blink 182 | As in Blink 182 times to understand our music? | RVB | ||
| The Blow Monkeys | What kind of sicko freak would blow monkeys? | Chris | ||
| Blue October | Due to Halloween, October's colors are orange and black. Also, due to fall, thay can be any color of a falling leaf. Blue is not associated with October in any form. | Travis | ||
| Blue Oyster Cult | How d'ya imagine a Blue Oyster? Or a Blue Cult? Why cult? It remembers me of a snob restaurant at the shore... their music is good, but that name... | SnakeHipsBoy | ||
| The Blues Magoos | My guess when they named this band, this 60's Bronx group either was on drugs or had a bad T.V. reception when watching "Mr. Magoo". | oldschool | ||
| Bolt Thrower | Someone kept in detention for messing around in a metalwork class? | Chris | ||
| Bone Thugs n Harmony | Bone - yep, good, tough word. Thugs - again, very tough word. So far so good. Harmony - the singing thugs? I've never heard of any of those (certainly not ones who sing like Bone really do). | Haz-Man | ||
| Bonerama | I'm not joking this is a real band, a jazz band with alot of trombones, but you think they could have picked a worse name? | hamp | ||
| Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band | It's like they just randomly pulled words out of a hat, and added the word 'band' to it. | hamp | ||
| Boom Boom Sattelites | Sounds like a childish way of describing multiple spacecraft colliding or exploding. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Bootsauce | What the hell is bootsauce anyway? Is it like foot sweat or something? | hamp | ||
| Bow Wow Wow | Sit, Ubu, sit...good dog! (Rowf!) That's what it makes me think of. | Vic George | ||
| Bowling For Soup | I'm sure it's supposed to mean "putting soup in bowls", but to me it sounds more like the sport of bowling, with soup involved. | Jessica | ||
| Box of Frogs | To think that the band formerly known as the Yardbirds were reduced to this! | Greg G. | ||
| Boy Meets Girl | I'll bet on Girl in 10 rounds. | MOR | ||
| Boys Like Girls | Well, of COURSE boys like girls. A lot of boys like girls. Yippee. Why walk around giving people that information??? | Mr. Critic | ||
| Boysetsfire | Yeah, and bandforgetstoincludespaces. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Boyz II Men | You wouldn't expect rap artists to spell correctly, but this is a regular R & B band. What's their excuse? | Chris Kuan | ||
| Boyzone | Sounds like a gay club (or worse) | Chris | ||
| Bran Van 3000 | The band is great, but their name sounds like an extra-strength laxative..."Buy new Bran Van 3000--guaranteed to move you..." | Natasha | ||
| Brand New | They were 'brand new' in 2000. Now they are kinda old. | Travis | ||
| Brand New | They're band name says that they were brand new, yet their best singles were released back in the 1980s. Brand new seem kind of dated, don't they? | hekifier | ||
| Bread | Were they eating bread when they were choosing what to name their band? | Paul Warren | ||
| The Breakfast Club | This confused the heck out of me when their only hit song "Back On Track" came out in 1987. I heard this band came out before the movie did in 1984, but why go out in 1987 with this name...? | Vic George | ||
| Breaking Benjamin | It sounds like someone is trying to break poor Benjamin in half. I heard this name and I wanted to do that too. | Travis | ||
| Breaking Benjamin | Shattering some poor guy's bones isn't my idea of a cool band name. | Jonathan S. | ||
| The Breeders | I keep thinking of the cheesy horror movie of the same name. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Bring Me The Horizon | Several band names that are commands have been criticized on the site before. Here is another command used as a band name, and this time a particularly impossible one to fulfill. As one goes toward the horizon, the horizon continually recedes away. Thus no one can go TO the horizon, let alone bring it to anyone else! | Consuela Sanchez | ||
| Brown Bannister | Former producer of Amy Grant's albums and a talented Christian songwriter himself. Unfortunately, his name makes me think of someone sliding naked down the hand rail of a staircase. | Christopher | ||
| Bubba Sparxxx | Seriously. Whose last name is Sparxxx? Are you from, like, Neptune or something? Even if it isn't "Bubba's" last name, what kind of a band name is Bubba Sparxxx? | Qwee | ||
| Buckcherry | Seems like they clearly spoonerized Chuck Berry's name to come up with theirs. Nice try. | Mr. Critic | ||
| The Buggles | Sounds like a kid's show | Vic George | ||
| The Buggles | Sounds like a parody on The Beatles. | Mads | ||
| Bullet for my Valentine | Don't take a bullet for your valentine. They were just going to collect your present then dump you anyway. | Travis | ||
| Bullet For My Valentine | Why would you even have a valentine if you just wanted to shoot her? Sounds to me like a love-lorn psychopath! | hekifier | ||
| Bullet For My Valentine | Perhaps they mean it literally, but I still keep thinking of it as a sexual euphimism. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Burning Brides | This name sounds sexist, and mean. It is not only pure evil lighting a bride on fire, but it is also arson. Think about this before choosing a band name. | Travis | ||
| Burning Death Machine Against theNeo-NazisofSweden | For such a long-winded name, this was a short-lived band in Saginaw, MI. Only one of the members was Swedish in any way, and what exactly is up with the Neo-Nazi reference in their name? Last I checked, "Burning Death Machine" without the adjective phrase wasn't taken. Supposedly, the band picked the name knowing full well it was absurd, because they didn't know how long they'd even be together as a band anyway. | BulldozerBegins | ||
| Bury Your Dead | ... Well DUH!! what else would I do with my dead? | Andrew | ||
| Bush | Naming your band after a typical shrub is kind of dull, and more importantly, I can't look at, or hear, the name without thinking of George W. Bush (or his daddy, for that matter). | Jonathan S. | ||
| Busta Rhymes | Okay, so what does "Busta" rhyme with? | Kitt | ||
| Busta Rhymes | There was actually a football player for the Oklahoma Sooners named Buster Rhymes. I'm surprised that 1) it hasn't confused more Oklahomans and 2) that Buster Rhymes hasn't sued this guy. | Aaron | ||
| Butt Trumpet | A band named after a fart. Now come on! Has someone been eating too much of the musical fruit or something? | Star Warrior | ||
| Butt Trumpet | who wants to have brass up their ass? Not I! | Harry | ||
| Butt Trumpet | So, they're implying that their music sounds like flatulence? | p00v | ||
| Butthole Surfers | I really didn't need to know about your sex life. | FireWoman | ||
| Butthole Surfers | I do not believe you can surf in a butthole. Or, well, I can't anyway. | Shido | ||
| Butthole Surfers | You say, "Hey Dad! Can I have $50 to go see a cool band?" He asks, "What concert are you going to go see?" At that point you can forget getting the money, let alone the approval to go to the show. "And don't repeat that discusting band name in front of your mother!" | Mitch | ||
| Butthole Surfers | It sounds like some 4 year old's attempt at raw toilet humour, which doesn't please anyone who isn't, well, a four year old. | TullyGirl | ||
| Butthole Surfers | Oh, c'mon! | cherrytree |

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.
