The Thousand Yard Stare.

Jury is out on:

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

EDIT: BRMC - not as good as the name.

The BRMC album is great imo. Proper grungy rock. Havent heard their other stuff if there is any.

I could add Roxy Music to the list, great band name, hate the music. Oh god how I hate their music. Coldplay too. That'll set the cat amoung the pidgeons.

Have we had a similar thread before? I'll add Iron Butterfly to the list, I was looking for something on youtube when I come across them, the music is ok, but the names better.

I used to like the sound of Dumpy's Rusty Nuts. Can't remember a single song by them though.
Anyone remember Aussie band Ratcat- a confused creature if ever there was one.
Not a band but solo artist, Welsh rocker Bob Delyn.

Yes - saw them in Sydney 20 years ago!

I'm Flying High as a driver of a train...driving down to Trumpton with a cargo of cocai...

Nope, their music was up there once upon a time.

Ey, blert. If you're suggesting that name is better than the music of the best band in Britain, then I shall have to request you step outside accompanying me so we may discuss this issue more, erm, robustly. If you know what I mean.

Once upon a time? Once upon a time? Are you in some time-warp and ignoring how good they are today? They are at the peak of their monumental talent at the moment. That's no joke. I'd get acquainted with 'Achtung Bono', 'Cammel Laird Social Club' and 'CSI: Ambleside' if I were you.

Anything disco from the 1970's. Proper "mum & dad" music that is!

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - sound like they should 'kick ass' but the songs, music and vocals, are really weak.

i'll join you in that paulb

Oasis, their name seems paradise but some of their music is not!

 

[Dave Davenport]

Manic Street Preachers.

Huh??? How can you say that??? Oh ok some of the later, more commercial stuff was below their previous high standard but I don't think they can be called weak . Just listen to RHCP version of Under the Bridge compared with whatever the stoopid girl band who sang it's version, now that's weak!!
