Some of these nominations are so dumb... I mean, "The Pixies," on its own may seem ehhh, but that name was PERFECT for them, their sound, sensibility, etc. Same with Black Keys, the hate for which I do not get.
And, The Beatles? You REALLY hate that? It was fucking perfect. Some of this contrarian nonsense annoys the fuck out of me.

No I don't REALLY hate the name The Beatles. But is it a godawful band name? In my opinion yes. It's a shit word pun and would be laughed at if a band came out with it today. Compared to most of the iconic bands of the sixties it's horribly twee and more appropriate to their skiffle days than what they created afterwards.

To me, the fact that they grew out of the name, and turned it into something else, makes it far more meaningful.

Fair enough, understand where you're coming from. I've just always hated the "beat" pun, blame it on having an English teacher as a parent or just being born with a generally high level of irritation at the world in general. Probably not the time to bring up my feelings about The Beach Boys......
That name has a pretty great story behind it, though. Charles Augustus Steen III is an unsung genius and IMO is one of the coolest ugly-men-who-get-hot-trim since Serge Gainsbourg.
I can't speak on the band or their music. I've never seen/heard them.

///????????? (ok a solo artist but it still riles me)
These are all from a recent compilation a friend did for me.
Also, The Beatles is a horrible, horrible, name.

2000s Indie Rock names are terrible, tho.

Beetles Cupboard Raid
3 ironic sorta related unrelated words. So cool.
Or just, you know, The Beetles.
I think people are confusing a personal opinion on a band's name with criticism of the music which I love and have listened to all my life.
Plus ca change.

You'll probably want to add King Biscuit Time to this list...
hot boyz
huey lewis and the news.
i would, however, wait in line for tickets overnight if those three ever played a show together.
I think the Chili Peppers had it right the first time...
The Barenaked Ladies were originally Free Beer? Talk about two crappy names.
KISS should have stayed Wicked Lester.
