The worst band names of 2007
Scandanavian War Machine:
yes, i realize that.
however, that name sucked before any of those other bands even thought about sucking. it's just worse now because it's everywhere to an annoying degree.
"hey, i was disemboweling women way before Jack the Ripper was!"
That doesn't make it right or cool. sorry.
Jackie Blue:
Are you familiar with the song "My Funny Valentine" or the film "My Bloody Valentine"?
Because seriously I don't remember anyone sitting around in 1997 saying "Fuck, that's such a stupid name."
In fact I don't remember people complaining about band names at all until pretty recently.
I mean, how bad are names like Slint, Polvo, Pylon, Pavement, REM, U2, The Smiths, Sloan, Nitzer Ebb, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Belly, The Muffs, Ethyl Meatplow, Geraldine Fibbers, The Woggles, Ohio Package, June of 44... etc. Yet I honestly can't remember ever once having a conversation with anyone about band names being good or bad.
Scandanavian War Machine:
never heard that song. i've heard of that film but never watched it.
maybe i'm weird but i just always thought that was a corny name for a band. i don't think any of the others you listed were good names either but they are better, if only slightly because they don't have an obvious meaning (mostly. obviously U2 means something and few others do, as well).
Jackie Blue:
--- Quote ---"My Funny Valentine" is a show tune from the 1937 Rodgers and Hart musical Babes in Arms. It is now considered a jazz standard, appearing on over 1300 albums performed by over 600 artists.

Scandanavian War Machine:
wow. i must be out of the loop, that sounds like a fairly prolific song. maybe i have heard it and didn't know it?
dunno. the name doesn't ring any bells.
