Butthole Surfers is a great name when you consider at the time it couldn’t even be printed in a newspaper. It forces one to say the word butthole. My cousin told me there was a band called the Butthole Surfers and I didn’t believe him. My Bloody Valentine? what else could they possibly be called? !!! is pronounced chk-chk-chk and that is annoying as hell. But they were really fun live.

Psychomancer is a pretty silly name, but I once saw them perform their seminal hit Cumstains in the Casket and it changed my life.

They’re named for the best PJ Harvey album, but on the other hand that draws a lot of comparisons to the best PJ Harvey album and why would you do that to yourself?

I can't believe no one said Joy Division. I mean, it's gotta be the greatest discrepancy between band name and band quality ever.

Tommy Chong was part of a Motown group that went by Bobby Taylor and the Vancouvers, but uh their previous name was a real doozie.

There is a rap song that I loved from about ten years ago that is literally impossible to google. The song is called “Hard” and the artist is called Work. The video was the least flashy no-frills rap video ever. it’s just a couple dudes dancing around and rapping in a depressed looking frozen Midwestern neighborhood. The main rapper bursts out of a cardboard box and starts rapping. In one shot he is rapping against a brick wall while dodging snowballs. In another shot, he’s being wheeled around on a hand cart. I really liked the song. To make it even more difficult to find again it wasn’t even on YouTube it was only on Dailymotion or something. Congratulations “Hard” by Work on having such a generic name that it is completely unsearchable.

Joey Bada$$ is a very talented rapper with a terrible name that made me avoid him for a long time. https://youtu.be/qlN1LK3PyH8

DIIV owns but the name sucks. They were originally Dive but they had to change it because a 90s Belgian industrial group had it first.

Anal oval office's 1997 album I Like It When You Die contained the track "You're in a Coma". Putnam's reaction to the resulting irony of being in a coma was published in the Boston Phoenix: "Actually, it turned out it was just as gay as the song I wrote nine years ago – being in a coma was just as fuckin' stupid as I wrote it was."[7]

Seth Putnam died of a heart attack like 10 years ago. Now I want to know who escalator guy is, though. E:Oh, apparently one of their guitarists kicked it falling off an escalator at that giant mall in providence. Apparently he also played for a band called "Adolf Satan" Ugly In The Morning fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Mar 20, 2021 |

The only lyric I really remember is the chorus that was just “Cuz I’m hard, harder than hard hard, harder than the hardest hard” something like that lol. I saw it probably around 2012. Other than that I know nothing about the artist and I only ever heard the one song.

Shaggy Sweet: "Why Won't The Sun", from the CD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4Yzl8uVNJI Live virtual concert last August: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F__vEdop5MM I like them a lot: the singer's emotive voice, the guitarist's precision and effortless speed and accuracy with excitement, the drummer's inventiveness, variety, and always being in the right place at the right time. New bass player, I think, but he seems solid in what I've heard, which is just the latter video. They've been gigging for a very long time, not sure why they never exploded. Nice thread, OP.
