spike.com — #12 - Boyz II Men -- Everyone loves some “Motownphilly,” but the creativity behind this group’s name is just plain stupid. What was Michael Bivins smoking when he decided to allow the Philadelphia legends to release R&B records under one of the worst play on words ever?

  • infernal6, on 11/18/2008, -12/+1071. Korn should be on this list.
    2. Rage Against the Machine is a good band name imo
  • funkytaco, on 11/18/2008, -1/+65ICP fans are like dorks rejected by the Goth scene for being too backwoods.
  • IRAcarbombs, on 11/18/2008, -1/+63Werent they voted "Worst Band of All Time" by Rolling Stone or one of those magazines? They are absolutely horrible and their fans look like idiots.
  • nick041, on 11/18/2008, -5/+61I disagree with Rage Against the Machine. I think that's a great name.

    What about System of a Down? The hell does that even mean? Or Exodus. I don't see that band saving the Jews. Or hell what about !!!. Seriously, that's a real band. The named is literally !!!. "Oh hey, do you like explanation point explanation point explanation point?" "HELL YEAH I DO! They really get my attention."

    And a fun fact, !!! is Snakes favorite band. Yeah, now you all know.
  • EASwanson, on 11/18/2008, -2/+48Everyone on digg hates Nickelback (myself included)... I expect a grand amount of diggs for this comment
  • ratchetbg, on 11/18/2008, -10/+53I would've put "The Dave Matthew's Band" as the Dumbest Band Name of All time.

  • inactive, on 11/19/2008, -4/+37Butthole Surfers is a great name.
  • mudgirl, on 11/18/2008, -4/+37I agree with most, but I don't understand why Rage is on the list.
  • dafragsta, on 11/19/2008, -2/+35You mean Dane Cook. Dane Cook is the Nickelback of comedy.
  • AManWithNoName, on 11/18/2008, -2/+34The thing about ICP is that they stand for all the stupid ***** that's ever plagued music. Crappy rap? Got it. Cheesy face makeup? Check. White boys trying miserably to be badass? Huge check.

    Every single one of their fans is a poser, and always will be.
  • borez, on 11/18/2008, -4/+32I love the name of Nirvana cover band Teen spirits lead singer... Burt Cocaine.
  • centran, on 11/18/2008, -0/+27SHHHhhhhh!!!! You will enrage the Juggalo's..... oh wait! this is the internet they can't harm you. carry on.
  • selmer, on 11/18/2008, -10/+37I have always liked the name Rage Against the Machine. Suck my balls.
  • frieddonuts, on 11/18/2008, -6/+33Scary Kids Scaring Kids have an awful name too imo.

  • funkytaco, on 11/18/2008, -4/+29Best band name: Black Kids.
  • petebot, on 11/18/2008, -0/+23That band is worse than crappy. They are to rock music what the Love Guru is to comedy.
  • ratbear, on 11/19/2008, -0/+21Juggalos are the lowest form of life on this planet. It says so right here in my Biology 101 textbook, 2008 edition©.
  • inactive, on 11/19/2008, -0/+21Nice ICP grammar. Juggalos are the red necks of goth.
  • dr0psy, on 11/18/2008, -2/+23didnt they get worst band of all time from some source too? rolling stone maybe?

  • Zyphon, on 11/18/2008, -0/+21Dugg for "You Look Adopted."

    Even if it was irrelevant to the article.
  • NathanielJ, on 11/19/2008, -0/+20Sum 42 would have been better.
  • ngmcs8203, on 11/18/2008, -0/+20Did anyone else think their lead singer looked like a unborn fetus?
  • Nerolus, on 11/18/2008, -1/+18I can't stop laughing at Goblin ***** and the tony danza tapdance extravaganza.
  • mllawso, on 11/19/2008, -0/+17"Hey bras, you're all just a bunch of haters. Nickleback's just way too hardcore for you."
  • bhamster, on 11/19/2008, -0/+17there was a robery in a small very small christian town near where I live.

    One of the robber's legal name was, get this........... Dave Sadistic Jugalo.

    That made my day, what low lifes.
  • fuckingusername, on 11/18/2008, -1/+17what about STFU ?
  • ChronicColonic, on 11/19/2008, -0/+16Michael Jackson contacted Boyz II Men...

    ...he thought they were a delivery service.
  • LPhilM, on 11/18/2008, -0/+16Gay For Johnny Depp
  • NumberFour, on 11/18/2008, -1/+16Rage against the Machine is a good name, and it seems others agree with me on that one.
    Butthole surfers should be on the list too, I like the band but the name is ridiculous.
    Honestly though the entire idea of this article is retarded, who cares what the name of the band is as long as the music is good.
  • inactive, on 11/18/2008, -1/+16Papa Roach?

    or is that not considered music? meh.
  • aspec, on 11/19/2008, -0/+14What about The Goo Goo Dolls?

  • infernal6, on 11/18/2008, -4/+17Modest Mouse kick ass, and the name is fine. ***** off
  • harrisbradley, on 11/18/2008, -2/+15there are way lamer band names then Stryper.... but probably not way lamer bands.
  • Nerolus, on 11/18/2008, -0/+13No, they ***** stink.
    They stink like angst/trend/cliche and pop punk piles of steaming feces.
