The Onion AV Club released a list of The Worst Band Names of 2007.
Andy and I have spent hours debating the merits of various band names, once during a particularly boring set by The Secret Machines, whose name was better than their live preformance (at least on that night). One of my favorite band names is still Built to Spill. It's clever without being gimicky.
Starting a band but having trouble thinking of a band name? Try the band name maker! If Sydney were starting a band, she could name it "Sydney Gizmo Of The Assuming Gateway," whereas Ramona might choose "Ramona Hamburger." Thanks, band name maker!

The Asbestos Tampons have an awesome name and are pretty damn fun. I'll be there if they ever make it to Portland.
Check their song "Prostitution."
We all know that two of the best band names were Hormonal Stew and Truck Stop Coffee.
Wow, those Onion names are pretty much uniformly awful.
On the subject of the Secret Machines, we saw them open for Bloc Party in Brooklyn and thought they were possibly the most boring live band ever. Their albums are no great shakes either, but live they're just torture. It almost seemed like they were trying to be terrible on purpose, but it sounds like your experience backs up ours.
Also, their guitarist needs to wear pants that aren't so ridiculously tight. :)
Love the name Ramona Hamburger. Ha ha!
