Fun Stuff > BAND

Do you ever judge bands on their name?

Metope:
I have to confess I do this all the time, and I might have missed out on a lot of good music due to avoiding a band because I dislike their name. The thing is though, every single time I've gone 'What a stupid name' and then accidentally come across a song or two by said band later, I've found the music to be awful too. Recent examples: Imagine Dragons, Alt J, Tame Impala. As of now, I think this prejudice has worked as a pretty efficient filter for me, there's just too much music out there to listen to it all. Do other people do this too?

Of course I realise this is a very subjective thing, and maybe I'm just stuck up. I'd love to be proven wrong, so feel free to post music you like by bands you think have terrible names. Or you know, terrible music by bands with terrible names, whatever you feel like.

mtmerrick:
Two best band names ever (not bands, names) are Bowling For Soup, and Care Bears On Fire.  :mrgreen:

BeoPuppy:
I have a tendency to do this whith logos of metal bands. If you don't care enough to design a logo that's legible then you obviously don't need another person listening to your music. Often the music these fellows provide is charmingly rustic and old-school. Or; crap, crappily recorded with crap tech in a crap location.

Thrillho:
I sometimes do this. Worst band name I've ever heard is Everything Everything because it is absolutely meaningless.

Metope:
Oh! Yeah I was actually going to write them down in the initial post as well, but I completely blanked on the name because it's so stupid. Thanks.
