Jimmy Eat World should be part of the conversation due to their acronym.
Who ever called them J.E.W.? Or when did they ever use that acronym themselves?
Perhaps tried to and then realised
Or The Band.
Amazing band though
The Band
What is that? Seen it on someone’s wall near me too
Prince had a legal fight with his record label over ownership of his music. As a protest, he changed his artist name from “Prince” to this symbol.
And had floppy discs with the character code sent out to all the music magazines so they could print it. As Charlie Murphy put it, dude could ball.
Good old Xavleg
The band öOoOoOoOoOo is a bit unwieldy.
Supposedly pronounced as “caterpillar” in whatever language you prefer.
Hoobastank
!!! (Chk Chk Chk)
I love them as a band and the name makes sense once you know what it’s representing, but it’s terrible for searching or recommending to people.

That played concerts at sun city in apartheid south Africa and have heavily glossed over the fact afterwards
The Beatles
Cmon this is a great pun
The Oneders?
Imagine Dragons
No, Imagine Dragons is kind of cool… if you believe them when they say it’s not their real band name. They originally came up with a phrase that meant something special to all of them, but they didn’t think it would work as a band name, so they anagrammed it into Imagine Dragons (I assume some letters were reused or left off somehow). So there’s this big mystery over what their real name is.
And that kind of plays into some dragon lore where if you know a dragon’s true name, you have control over it. You don’t know Imagine Dragons’ true name — no one does. Perfectly acceptable if you think a band having a secret name is lame. They’ve said at some point they may reveal it, but they’re afraid people will be disappointing, because as they originally said, it wouldn’t make for a cool name.
if you know a dragon’s true name, you have control over it.
I thought that was Devils??
It’s pretty common across a lot of fantasy creatures tbh.
Though it’s often True Name as in a fantasy idea that everyone and everything has a secret name that even they don’t know, one that the universe gave them. Rather than just knowing their given name.
Another common thing is that dragons speak True Speech, a magical language that’s understood by every living creature with a brain
I already disliked them, you didn’t need to make them even more unlikeable

The Length Of The Nails That They Used To Crucify Jesus
Is this a for real band name or a joke about the band Nine Inch Nails (or both)?
Nickelback
Intentionally bad or unintentionally bad?
I’m reconsidering if it is actually a terrible name for a band. I saw Piss Bath supporting Dead Kennedys a couple of years ago. It’s probably the only support band name I’ve remembered, so in that respect it’s quite effective.
IMO, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard has an awfully high good band/dumb name differential
