worst band name ever
nescience:
I think his point is that the Strokes are a polarizing band to the point that any argument over the merits of other love-em-or-hate-em groups (like Led Zeppelin) can be reduced to a question of subjective taste. "You hate Led Zep? Whatever, I hate the Strokes. Let's not argue because will tear each others' hearts out over rock minutiae."

i thought it was that the Strokes sucked. But really no biggie here, I have nothing against Led Zeppelin, I was simply being impish :)
Alas no-one got my HGTTG reference (¤) (¤) <--- Sad alien puppy eyes.
nescience:
Uh, yeah. I said he hated the Strokes. Whatevs.

Here's a question that you guys might be able to help me with:
When some people you know have formed a band and set up a myspace with mp3s and everything, have a REALLY TERRIBLE band name, like almost BEYOND TERRIBLE, how do you break it to them?
How do you convince them that anyone with any taste would think it is a REALLY TERRIBLE band name? Especially when one of the band members is your ex-boyfriend so they might think you are just being nasty, when really you just want to save them from embarrassment and more importantly, save the music scene from having this BLOODY AWFUL band name inflicted upon them.
If you want to know how TRULY HORRIFIC the name is, PM me.

Seriously, pssh....I dunno, but that name really bugs me. It isn't really creaitive at all, they just named their band after a two word noun...pssh.

That makes no sense. If you simplify anything down to parts of speech, nothing is really original.
"Led Zeppelin was just an adjective and a noun; how lame"
"Black Sabbath was just a religious term and a color; gay"
Sheesh. Also, the name is pretty cool if you know where it comes from. When DNTEL and Gibbard made the music, they sent their seperate parts to eachother through the internet; thus, a play on e-mail and a description of how the music was made became their name. It's pretty cool. Better than someone naming their song after a song they like.
You can still hate it, it's just I thought the reasoning was a tad odd.
A name I hate?
