Dont come in here with that good music is relative to the listener bullshit a good band is a good band. Bands with lovely names being a cut above the rest

LVL UP. I hate trying to suggest this band to anyone, but they're really good.

Even worse, they have a song called *_* that's great, but seriously imagine telling someone to listen to *_* by LVL UP.

20 Blunts: Jan 21, 2017

Flying Burrito Brothers was always a goofy name i thought didn't fit the band. but then Captain Beefheart is a cool name imo. just gotta be careful with food references in music

im just scrolling through my spotify realizing i listen to a lot more singular artists than bands.

ry cooder is a funny name

also Shelly FKA Dram

I can�t think of any right now but I definitely have avoided listening to certain bands only because I hate their name, like to this day I have no idea what Goo Goo Dolls even sounds like.

Bed Wettin' Bad Boys is cool to namedrop as one of your favorite bands if you're loud and gregarious but if you have trouble making eye contact and sometimes have to swallow to get through saying a sentence, it can be tougher to rep them

think thats anal oval office:

The album I Like It When You Die developed the idea of containing insults in their songs, with a recurring song title being "X Is Gay", with examples including "You're Gay", "Technology's Gay", "Recycling Is Gay", "The Internet Is Gay", "Windchimes Are Gay" and even "The Word 'Homophobic' Is Gay." Another recurring song title is "You X", with examples including "You Own a Store", "You Live in a Houseboat", "You Are an Orphan", "You Go to Art School", and "You Keep a Diary". The band even parodied this theme with the songs "You (Fill in the Blank)" and "I'm in Anal oval office".

The Foo Fighters suck.so hard I just can't believe it every song sounds like the exact same; there's no melody. They're just atrocious and I really liked Nirvana.

I read somewhere that they named themselves by looking out the window at like the agents office when they were signed or something.

Kiss the Anus of a Black Cat is good stuff if you're a swamp hag or run in similar circles as swamp hags (or just generally hag adjacent).

Terrible name though
