Fun Stuff > BAND
Do you ever judge bands on their name?
Thrillho:
You could call your band Stumpy and the Cuntfarts and it would be a better name simply by being distinctive.
ankhtahr:
I don't think I judge many bands by their name. The only times I really didn't like a musicians name it were names like e.g. Ke$ha. But well.
Post Rock bands often have strange names, but make great music. Names like "God is an Astronaut", "Fire Spoken by the Buffalo" or "And So I Watch You From Afar" are unusual, but I wouldn't call them bad.
A_S00:
Not gonna lie, I've never been able to bring myself to check whether Butthole Surfers are actually any good.
Jimmy the Squid:
They're pretty underwhelming.
I do kind of feel like band names should be...good. I realise that's a nebulous concept but I really hate stupid band names. Like, my housemate loves bands like Deathbreath and Pigface and I fucking detest those bands without having heard much of either of them, because they were too lazy to come up with a good band name, or at least an OK one. Sometimes I can push past it. I loved Purity Ring when I first heard them and then had a long period of being really unsure about them because I didn't like the name (and the images it brought up). Eventually I managed to get around it but it still annoys me sometimes.
I don't mind logos being illegible. I'm into black metal so if I wasn't cool with it I'd never hear anything. I think instead of having logos being illegible or not, I think it's more important for it to be visually distinctive. So Darkthrone's logo is hard to read but is obviously Darkthrone's logo. But there are a bunch of logos that are so illegible as to be completely meaningless which is unhelpful.
Thrillho:
There is a band called Quasimoto whose album is called Yessir Whatever. Know nothing about them at all but considering buying the record for the name alone.
