Most inappropriately named bands!

[king arthur]

Rush - all their songs were 15 minutes long, they never rushed anything!
The Thompson Twins - there were three of them!
Small Faces - none of them had particularly small faces.

[vetrof]

Madonna

[Mr Creosote]

Neil Young is quite old now.

[Wheel Turned Out]

The Spiders from Mars who were, to the best of my knowledge anyway, neither.

[bad company]

Did The Searchers ever find anything?

[Super Sonic]

Bauhaus. If they wanted to be named after an art and architecture style, surely it should be Gothic.

[GetCarter]

Simply Red should have been Simply Bad.

[Panamax]

Better than that, none of them were called Thompson.

See also Alabama 3. They're from Brixton and there weren't three of them.

And Shed 7. Nothing to do with a shed and there aren't seven of them.

U2. No, just don't ask...

Indeed. It reminds me of how Roger Daltry used to sing "Hope I die before I get old". Well, bad luck.

[Super Sonic]

They Might be Giants.

[Grumbler]

The Thrills. So boring.

[Super Sonic]

The Voice of the Beehive. They don't just make buzzing noises.

[Super Sonic]

A Flock of Seagulls. Never seen them mobbing tourists for chips and ice cream.

[Super Sonic]

Adam and the Ants. By the way, which one's Adam?

Or as Mark and Lard used to say, they started out as an eleven piece band but now there's only four of them...

I think the lead singer would have said they were an appropriately named band, in fact he was adamant.

[Mr. Potato Head]

Coldplay my arse
More like Tepidplay

[InductionRoar]

Madonna

We have a winner

[Panamax]

Kid Rock - now 54 years old.

Greta van Fleet - might as well have called themselves Hertz van Rental.

The Ramones - no, they weren't related.

Bush - WTF? Kate Bush - fair enough.

Milli Vanilli - didn't even have the courtesy to be in their own band.

[Hub]

Barenaked Ladies

The Who (one of the more well known bands)

Fat White Family (actually pretty gaunt from the heroin habits)
