Take That is a pretty crap name,it's like an instruction. Although their original name was Kick It! so I ain't complaining.

All band names are a bit weird really.

The Who. Makes listening to them on their own impossible - you can't single them out in iTunes search.

InOne

Although I :love: manchester orchestra to death, their name puts about 80% of people off straight away before theyve heard them, think theyre classic

It's not 'The Elbow' it's Elbow, unless you mean a different band.

They are a good band with a good name and one of the best songs in the world.
Such an original name and quite random.

The Wanted is one for me, They sound like an out of date Indie Band and it just doesn't suit the godawful boyband image at all. It irks me.

If you MUST make us suffer your awful music you might as well get a less stupid name.

lol
09-08-2010, 07:39 PM
All Time Low and As I Lay Dying

As I Lay Dying are an epic band though.
But yeah, they're supposed to be Christians themselves so idk why they chose that name. xD
Still sounds awesome though.

Evanesence was a sod of a name when they first came out - nobody knew how to say or spell it properly for about 2 months!

"Ee-van-ee-seen"
"Ay-van-sense"
"even-ay-sense"

The list goes on...

oh - Len. The onehit wonder with that "Steal My Sunshine". Jesus, if you're going to go into the music industry, don't pick three letters that share a name with one of the Strictly Come Dancing judges.
