Seagulls screaming "kiss her, kiss her!" was a good one.

As was - Meanwhile, back in communist Russia.

Jazzfinger are another case in point. I have actively enjoyed their music, but refuse to buy it on account of the name.

[Savage Clone]

DemonBox:
That is one of the dumbest band names ever.
Dumber than AIDS Wolf, even.

[DemonBox]

Yeah, it's so stupid. I would never own a record by that band, it would ruin my collection

but wolf AIDS come pretty darn close.

ZZZZ are awesome

So are AIDS Wolf

i know yeah, t'is almost a hangable offence, i have a friend who stuffs them down my throat any chance he can get but to no avail, i know J is a shit-hot guitarist and all that but i can honestly put my hand on heart and say i dont like them, they just dont do it for me. i could lie..... but ermmmm then i'd be lying.

Fishmonkey,
My loathing of Dino goes way back.
Crappy tone, flailing guitar, caterwauling offkey vocals, none to my taste.
The guy knows his way around the neck, but I have never fround his music remotely interesting or innovative in the least, and I am mystified that so many people hold a torch for Dinosaur. It was not interesting in its time, and has aged poorly to my ears. I saw them back then, bought a couple of albums,gave it a chance and was constantly annoyed with what I heard.
All that gear, and still such godawful tone.
Just a personal taste issue. It should be said that I enjoy guitar solos, and gratuitous ones are fine by me; just not the Mascis style.
This is nothing I haven't said before on here a million times, so apologies to those who wish I would shut up about this. Just wanted to give fishmonkey some support.

thanks man, sorry to all the dino fans also, but i know what you mean, and i appricate it, my mate is dino jr nutz - now i mean J Mascis batty, but i just dont see it. i bought one or two albums too, i swear i did but they never sank in. fuck it. you win some you lose some.
i'm sure i love a load of bands that would make ye puke. if we all loved the same music we'd be boring bastards.
and thanks savage clone, when i have that re-occuring argument with my mate Boo down the pub on the topic of DJ Vs SY, i'll be sure to drop yr name.

Every Time I Die is such fun music. Sure, it is mediocre hardcore but it is fun.

"I'm a cunt." Every time that song comes on I feel the need to start hardcore dancing.

X bands typically suck except Xiu Xiu and XBXRX.

[Almost Crimes]

I never really understood not listening to a band based on their name. That's why I didn't listen to Broken Social Scene when they were first popular, and now they're my favorite band. And what about XTC? Not exactly my style but I know plenty of people who like them.

[HaydenAsche]

XTC is dang gross.

BSS is awesome.

I think I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness is a pretty cool name, and their EP isn't bad.

Anybody want to move to wisconsin with me and start a ska band called wiSKAnsin?
Pick it up! Pick it up!

[luxinterior]

I've never heard the Arctic Monkeys or Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, but I'm certain they are the two worst bands ever.

[CHOUT]

I judged Camper Van Beethoven by their name, but I'm a big fan now.

I'm steering clear of any of those bands with 'last name' names, like
McKinsey, Hollister etc. I bet they suck so bad.

[krastian]

Yeah CVB is great.
