Bob Vylan and all those fucking idiots who just change one letter of an existing artist. I think there's a Toy Division or something too. Fuck off forever I have a strange tolerance for some of those. Bob Vylan is one of the worst, it just doesn't scan for me. There's something vaguely appealing about some of those names though, Wevie Stonder, Duran Duran Duran, Lana Del Rabies, Joy Orbison, they're the right side of deliberately shit.

Death Ray Davies is on the wrong side of stupid. Especially because there already was an almost equally stupid Ringo Deathstarr. If they can't take themselves seriously enough why should we?

If you're forcing us down the route of really dull US bands with terrible names, Reel Big Fish demand a mention.

Never heard of Toy Division and Google just brings up a New Jersey toy shop.
There was an old games website called Joystick Division.

Deathrow Tull is a genuinely great name. Hope they're a gangsta Tull tribute band.

‘The Tragically Hip’
Awful name. ‘Hip’ is such an awful adjective.
Apparently a Canadian national treasure. Singer died tragically a couple of years ago. That is really sad. But still. Awful name.

One reason I never embraced them as fervently as so many of my countryfolk did is precisely that reason. They've got some decent tunes, but I can't imagine ever calling myself a "fan of the Tragically Hip", and that's coming from someone who really digs King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard (although I'm in full agreement about how ridiculous their name is, too.)

I once turned down a support slot with Ned's Atomic Dustbin, based on the name and having seen a photo of them. When I did hear their music, I was sure we'd made the right decision.
