Stoopid Band Names
This page is a tribute to a much more comprehensive list of band names which had been compiled by the members and fans of the now defunct band "Mindslam". I used to visit and heartily enjoy the page at http://www.webcom.com/~mindslam/bandnames.html until one day it just disappeared (at the same time as the band's breakup, I think). For years I've regretted not keeping an archive of the page, and I finally just admitted defeat and attempted to recreate the page here.
(Yes, I've checked archive.org, they don't have a copy of the old site.)
The object of the list is quickly apparant. The goal is to come up with a ficticious band name which is the combination formed from the names of two or more real bands or artists. Humor value seems to be directly proportional to the variance in musical styles of the names merged. Accordingly, Amy Granthrax and Nirvanarama are hilarious while Dave Matthew Sweet's Band is included mainly just to prevent people from submitting it for inclusion.
