[Heathen]

what's wrong with Balmorhea?

[nah]

the big dicks

it was a band at my high school and they had 2 tall kids named richard. unfortunately word got out that one of the dicks wasn't that big and the band didnt survive the revelation.

[Blaine Ryan]

what's wrong with Balmorhea?

I know it's pronounced "bal-mor-ray." I know that. But every time I read it I think "diarrhea."

Which reminds me that I forgot to mention Diarrhea Planet.

The The, The National, The Band, Television...though to be fair a couple of these probably didn't have the foresight of the power of an internet search browser when they came up with their name.

"The Who" is the most annoying example of this. You gotta know where to look.

[PryTo]

Good:
Black Flag
The Sex Pistols
X
Anal Cunt
Insane Clown Posse
The Rolling Stones

Awful:
Pearl Jam
The String Cheese Incident
Crazy Town
Staind
MU330
MGMT
Korn
Jimmie's Chicken Shack
Chumbawamba
The Beatles

Have you actually tried to google any of them? They all come right up.

I thought of that one right after I posted. To be honest, most band names are pretty stupid in and of themselves. But that's one of the few genuinely good ones.

I think so too.

[William Bloke]

Fat White Family.

Have you actually tried to google any of them? They all come right up.

No. I'm just talking about general search engines that either give you every result of "the" and "who" in the database, or they give you nothing.
