Terrible Artist, Album & Song Names

[the science eel]

Song: 'Mine Smell Like Honey' by R.E.M.

oh, there's loads

'Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando and I'
'I'm Gonna DJ (At The End Of The World)'
'New Test Leper'
'Binky The Doormat'

utter wank

[Kankurette]

I'm undecided as to whether Jackie Collins Existential Question Time (by the Manics) is a brilliant or terrible song title.

[GoblinAhFuckScary]

Have not thoroughly checked out all of his movies to be 100% honest. What's the first one that you would recommend?

i love orphee lots and lots. i'd start with that.

there's la belle et la bete too, which is a lot more romantic and fantasy like.

both star jean marais, cocteau's lover, who is very beautiful but wears the beast's costume throughout most of la bete and it can look a teeny bit silly. still fab

That was a red flag for the album for me, sounds like something that came from a Richey Edwards Lyric Generator. On a similar note, She Bathed Herself in a Bath of Bleach, which comes from Angsty Teenager Lyric Generator.

[dissolute ocelot]

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
China Crisis
Wet Leg
Dehd
Bands with multiple Vs in their names like Alvvays and Wavves
Every band with Girls in the title that doesn't feature any female members. Also, Parenthetical Girls.

I remain undecided about Christian Death and Illuminati Hotties.

There's a band called Child Abuse who made a bit of a name for themselves, but fucked if I'm ever searching for them.

the genre of industrial music. was actually listening to a bit of Genocide Organ earlier. hmmmm

There's a lot of really bad names in that field, at least Throbbing Gristle and Whitehouse were funny.

The names I mean, Oh, I don't know though...

"Oh Mummy, what's a sex pistol?"

[Johnny Foreigner]

Which reminds me of The Names, an early-1980s Belgian new wave band, best known for 'Calcutta'. They called themselves that because they couldn't think of a name.

[Indomitable Spirit]

the power electronics/death industrial scene probably deserves a shit band names thread of it's own

Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck
Filthy Turd
Gruntsplatter
Priest in Shit
Con-Dom
Xenophobic Ejaculation
Whorebutcher
The Vomit Arsonist
Torturecide
Male Rape Group

I could go on...

[Pauline Walnuts]

An artist called 'Various Artists' released an album called 'Solo Album'.

Still not sure if that's bad or not.

One of the members of this band has another group.

They are called Sister Fucker.

I think it's odds-on that this guy would be a fan of Does It Offend You, Yeah?.

[Johnny Yesno]

- Cat Rapes Dog

Nah, that's one of those so-bad-it's-good band names.

Are you sure the artist isn't a grumpy nun?

[Johnny Yesno]

Priest in Shit

If you play their records backwards, can you hear a voice saying 'Do it'?

[Pauline Walnuts]

Only forwards. Backwards it's says 'you should go to a church of your choice'.

[Oh, Nobody]

Three Colours Red, purely for being named after a film nobody in the band had ever seen. Even when asked in interviews five years down the line (or however long they actually lasted), THEY STILL HADN'T WATCHED IT.

[jamiefairlie]

I protest! Nightshift is their best known tune. Also indirectly responsible for New Order's first gig as The Names cancelled and the remnants of Joy Division played as The No Names.

played with these I think twice and they're really nice people so they should probably come up with another name like Nice Blokes or Top Laugh

that reminds me i ought to watch that! only one of the trilogy i hadn't got round to

It could just work!

[Johnny Foreigner]

I saw them some fifteen years ago; they were fat and grey-haired. I do think 'Calcutta' got more airplay in Belgium at the time of its release. The French-speakers interpreted it as Quel cul t' as, that is: 'what an arse you have', which purportedly greatly annoyed them.

[Goldentony]

It could just work!

know a couple of people who played with Party Cannon too! I am a celebrity!!!!!

[non capisco]

Although Kurt Vile got a good one

Believe it or not that's his real name. Can't even credit the boring bastard with thinking up that.

The worst album title I can think of is Sandi Thom's 'Smile....It Confuses People'. There's something of the "people who shout 'cheer up!' out of car windows at strangers" about it.

[idunnosomename]

ha, Party Cannon and their notorious logo. they basically sound the same as any other competent pinch-harmonic death-slam band but their lyrics happen not have ruthlessly violent misogyny or anything. they're from Dunfermline so that the Bay Area poster is usually shared is testament to their success.

FUCKING ARSEHOLES

[Art Bear]

Art Bears ;-p

Fair point

[TheMonk]

Bloody Coldplay and their impossibly hauty "Music Of The Spheres".
And those symbols for song titles.
