TyronneWorld's Worst Band Names
August 23rd 2006 03:06
South Beach Magazine have been gracious enough to compile a list of the World's Worst Band Names. The list ranges from spins on Western culture, to gimmicks, to the downright stupid. Some favourites of mine are:
For a second, I thought I knew Tastes Like Chicken, but then I realised that I was getting confused with that and the Australian equivalent, Sounds Like Chicken, a band I am ashamed to actually say I know. But nevertheless, while they don't grant a mention in the South Beach Magazine list, The Sydney Morning Herald have thankfully provided us with an Australian version of the list, covering everything from the short-lived Popstars, Scandal'us, to Penguins on Safari. Favourite has to be the commentary of well-known Australian band, Air Supply:
"We're all quite familiar with it, so I'd wager most people tend not to think about the name Air Supply. But think upon it now: Air Supply. Air Supply. Could there be any name more odourless, invisible and blank? At least it suited them."

Australians make sure they get a mention with Sounds Like Chicken
