The 25 Most Ridiculous Band Names in Rock History
 

actually, there should be a caveat that says you can salvage your ridiculously-named band from ridiculousness by having multiple hit albums and/or an enduring rock legacy. under this rule, i think at least Mott the Hoople should be redeemed.

edit: the comments on that article make a lot of good points about bands that shouldn't be on there (Alan Parsons Project) and bands that should (like, where's Alien Ant Farm?)

so many bad names, so little time.

where to start...

pretty girls makes graves

butthole surfers

death cab for cutie

and btw, what's with the new format at cracked? every two paragraphs you have to click a new page. they're getting as greedy for hits as tom's hardware.
