Anyone who’s ever written about music and is not employed by, say, Billboard or Rolling Stone can appreciate The A.V. Club’s priceless list of The Worst Band Names of 2007.
There’s no telling what horrors lurk behind such hideous monikers as The Color Fred, Comanche Abortion, The Pleasures of Merely Circulating, Chevy Metal or Cobra Bubbles.
Their tally organizes the culprits by loose themes like “We’re Fucking Heavy, Bro” or “Emoooooo” and provides links when available.
My pick of the litter is after the jump:
The Dick Panthers
Mental Afro
The Asbestos Tampons
Unicorn Dream Attack
Ballcock Assembly
Dance Me Pregnant
The Rape Ape
Stay Fucked
Lesbian
Robin Williams On Fire
Turd Sorcerer
The Mister Fuckhead Ensemble
Psychedelic Horseshit
Cribshitter
Fuckwolf
Slut Barf
The Red Muffs
Steaming Wolf Penis
Cocktards
PussyFinger
The Berg Sans Nipple
Fixed Gears Are For Jerks And Lesbians
Those Fucking Unicorns
Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound
One Small Step For Landmines
Count Dracula’s Weed Smuggling Jam Engine
Haunting Oboe Music
Skull Sküll
Weekend Nachos
Or, The Whale
Doofgoblin
Jews And Mexicans
Bi Furious
Goat Motor
Algebro

robin williams on fire isn’t just a band name; it’s also a good suggestion to get rid of that pesky robin williams problem the world is having.

“Fixed Gears are for Jerks and Lesbians” is a great name, amazing band, and no less than a 100% true statement.

Shame on you.
