Pop / Rock groups with stupid names
 

My pet annoyance is stupidly named pop/rock groups


Top of my hate list

Elbow !!!

Agghhhhh !

Yes! 100% agree on Elbow :joker: like, what is that!?

I’ve always thought Sugababes was a bit of a lame name

Atomic Kitten

Pop / Rock groups with stupid names
 

Good call !!

Although I used to listen to Atomic Rooster back in the day and didn’t give the name a second thought

I've always wondered what McFly is meant to mean.:joker:

…is it Marty McFly the character…/Back to the Future…?…

…just thinking of Nathan…King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard ….

…Wet Leg…

…did the Last Dinner Party begin by performing last at dinner parties, hmmmmm….or do they not go to dinner parties anymore…

That makes sense.:laugh:

What about Radiohead or Coldplay?

Two of my favourite groups !!

Their name choices don’t bother me the way Elbow does …

Elbow is a bizarre name tbf.:laugh:

I can only assume that they were off their heads on something and decided between themselves that the name was either funny or witty ?

Maybe one of them has a sexual fetish for people's elbows?:think:

I’ll go with my idea

LOL

You don't want people being into elbows?:nono::joker:

Elbow as in Elbow macaroni?

Na
Elbow the wannabe Coldplay band

The chose their name after being inspired by a line in the BBC TV drama The Singing Detective in which the character Philip Marlow describes the word 'elbow' as the loveliest word in the English language.

I thought you would be supportive of a local band Zizu....they are nowhere close to a Coldplay wanna be band either. Guy Garvey will never be as annoying as Chris Martin :laugh:

Elbow are around longer than Coldplay though....

Little Mix, what does that even mean?

I like millions love Chris Martin and will never understand his detractors .

Fair point tbf

They should have given their decision a little more thought then .. even Arse would have been better imho

Horses for courses - I, like millions, will never understand the adoration for him but I totally respect those who feel that way, I just personally find him pretty annoying and arrogant.

I liked Coldplay's first album a lot but other than The Scientist, I have not been a fan of any their later offerings.

I know a lot of people who went to the concert at the Etihad recently who said it was the best gig they had ever been to but they're just not for me. :shrug:

Arrogant? Chris Martin ?

You know he’s extremely shy and introverted .. he was forced to be the spokesperson as the other three are even more shy !!??

He’s awkward and nervous whilst being interviewed.. just comes alive on stage

.. I also loved their first album .. possibly more than the others though I fell back in love with them when they released the slower back to basics Ghost Stories about 10 years ago
