[Elgibbor]

There was a band out of England called Ken Dodd's Dad's Dog's Dead. Awful or genius? You decide!

 

[ShakenForwardShakenFree]

One of my favorite's is Days Of The New. Another is Rage Against The Machine.

One of my least favorites is Mother Love Bone, despite the fact I love the band. Never ever wanted to mention them by name.

One of the worst ever is Goo Goo Dolls. Just an unspeakably bad name. Not sure if meant to be ironic with their initial harder pop-punk sound, or if a inexplicable mistake, it just sucked.

 

[TheApostleJohn]

The Band (will always be the best name)
Black Sabbath
Panic! at the Disco(even though I can't stand the band)
Dead Kennedys
Arctic Monkeys
Public Enemy

I can't think of any "worst" names.
