Ha! There were a bunch of purposely bad punk rock band names from that era that were hilarious in their dumbness, like the Dayglo Abortions. And don’t forget Jim Thirwell, and all his variations based on “Foetus”...

I always thought "The Mindless F***s" was kind of funny, another name you couldn't advertise.

I was in some bands in the 1970s with these odd names.

Zabie Gazanger

Stun

Daze

Purple Inferno

I used to play with a drummer (of course) who was in a band called, ready? Mass Eruption! (Mass was the old abbreviation for Massachusetts)

There used to be a band called Mass Connection, featuring dudes from Massachusetts and... Connecticut. #bridgethegap

But no, really, worst band name ever was "Chubby Nothin' and the Bone" from Chicago.

They were a precursor to Devo.

A few of the bands I've been in - "Ballzy Tomorrow," who are now "The Test Pressings" (without me - both dumb names). The band I just quit are "Insert name of narcissistic female band leader here (name has been purposely hidden for privacy sake)" & The Dirty Elizabeths. Don't you dare spell it wrong! That's a dumb name and a mouthful no matter how you slice it. One of the best was "The Liberators." My gf at the time was the band leader and it fit her last name perfectly.

Didn't Sebastian Bach sing for them?

There's nothing magical about The Beatles (a misspelling, for chrissakes

A bit of short history about how The Beatles got their name - They loved Buddy Holly and The Crickets so they wanted pay homage to them. They came up with another insect name - The Beetles, but wanted to be clever and changed it to BEATles to reflect the beat they had in their groove and to make the name sound more musical. It was a misspelling on purpose.

Really? Did not know that. Devo is a much better name.

 

[Inky13]

I used to hang with a band called “Mothership O’lithington”.

 

[bobyoung53]

There was another local band called "What's in a Name?" I thought it was just a little too hip (for the time).

Just a joke, I loved Devo, great band with a great idea. I remember the first time I ever heard of them or saw them. Saturday night live doing Satisfaction.

Steve Danes and the Rockin Badd Dawgz

There's a group here in town called "Hydra Plane". Really nice guys, good musicians, but that name... wow.

Devo - Short for Devolution. That's the kind of band name you get when you have big time nerds in the band.

Toad the Wet Sprocket. I cringe every time I here it.

That name came from a Monty Python sketch

There was also another band called Ethel the Frog that took the name from another Python skit
