The Onion listar år 2006 sämsta bandnamn

The Onion är en stor och mycket parodisk Amerikansk dagstidning, någonting man lätt missar när man först besöker deras hemsida då den lätt ger ett rätt proffsigt intryck. Dom publicerade tidigare i veckan en lista på 2006 sämsta bandnamn på sin AV Club, och kunde naturligtvis inte motså frestelsen att göra sig lustiga över emo, men överraskande nog hade dom även en hardcore del. Jag tänkte bjuda er på ett smakprov:

Emo bands can always be counted on, too:
Cute Is What We Aim For
This Song Is A Mess And So Am I
Boys Like Girls
Heartwarmer
I haven’t heard ‘em, so they may not be emo, but they’re kindred spirits regardless.
The Devil Wears Prada
Assuming these guys predate the Meryl Streep film of the same name, they still stole their title from a recent, popular book. It all but begs the studio, publisher, and Prada to file cease-and-desist orders. After that, expect TDWP to change their name slightly, like Green Jell-O did with Green Jelly, or Ritalin Kids with Riddlin’ Kids. Maybe The Devil Wears Prahda?
Curiosity Valentine
They play jazz, but still have an emo-ish name.


You know who else can be counted on for bad names? Hardcore bands. One of the worst of all time—Gorilla Biscuits—even reunited for a tour this year. Their descendents:
Set Your Goals
They’re heavily influenced by GB, from their music to their name: Set Your Goals was the title of GB frontman Civ’s first album after the Biscuits. Even with that reference, it’s still a dumb name. “Now touring the motivational speakers’ circuit, Set Your Goals!”
Silence The Foe
“Of course we’re heavy—don’t you know our name is Silence The Foe?”


Personligen tycker jag inte att just de namnen var speciellt varken dåliga eller roliga, men dom lyckas faktiskt hitta en del riktigt bra namn:

Guns N’Rosa Parks
Osama Bin SARS
Tom Cruise Control

Och nedan lite andra smått lyckade kategorier:

Check! Out! Our! Name!:
You Say Party! We Say Die!
Ambulance! Ambulance!
The Nina The Pinta!
Hollywood Holocaust!
Sh-Sh-Sh Shark Attack!!!

Loooooooooong is good:
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin
Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza
America’s Meth Problem II
Bodies In The Gears Of The Apparatus
The Busiest Bankruptcy Lawyers In Minnesota
U.S. Pipe & The Balls Johnson Dance Machine
Underground Railroad To Candyland
A Scribe Amidst The Lions
They Will Use Your Bones For Tools
Dave Coulier & The Cut It Outs
Points for the goofy Full House reference, even though that show was terrible.
We Will Eat Rats To Survive
Mister And Misses Tribute To Ugliness
They misspell "missus," but whatever.
Said The Sun To The Girl
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.
Arsonists Get All The Girls

?????
David Copperfuck
Elvisbeatlesgod
Chupacobra
Knife Knife Gun
Americans UK
Laser In The Jungle
DraculaZombieUSA
Sexhawk

Och till sist ett riktigt bra namn dom av någon anledning tyckte var dåligt: Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution (som för övrigt består av ett gäng Catch 22 medlemmar för er som gillar ska.)
