11 Original Band Names We’re Glad Didn’t Stick

• Mookie Blaylock (Pearl Jam)

  Share

  One of the best athlete names of all time?  Of course!  A great band name?  Not exactly.  Eddie Vedder once said the band that would become Pearl Jam were too busy writing music to come up with a band name.  We’re thankful for the great music, but we’re equally as thankful for the name change, even if there are some sticky rumors behind that name's origin, too.

• Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

  Share

  Good lord! There are no words. Why? The Chili Peppers seemingly used all of them in that terrible attempt at a band name.

• Sweet Children (Green Day)

  Share

  It’s not like Sweet Children is a bad name; the problem lies within when the band members age.  Think about pop groups like New Kids on the Block or Backstreet Boys.  When you’re old enough to qualify for an AARP membership, a name that signifies youth is just silly.
• Cans of Piss (R.E.M.)

  Share

  For a moment, imagine “Shiny Happy People” by a band called Cans of Piss. Ugh...just awful!

• The Polka Tulk Blues Band (Black Sabbath)

  Share

  Black Sabbath's original name came from the brand name of a talcum powder Ozzy Osbourne’s mother used.  Yeah…definitely not as dark as Black Sabbath.

• Rat Salad (Van Halen)

  Share

  Awesome Black Sabbath song, but it’s not the best band name.  Plus, without the Van Halen band name, we wouldn’t have their classic band logo, which is easily one of the coolest logos to rock on a shirt ever.
• The New Yardbirds (Led Zeppelin)

  Share

  Fact:  Nearly every “new” version of a previously well-respected brand is always crap.  (Ex: “New” Coke.)  Definitely thankful for this name change.

• Rocket Baby Dolls (Muse)

  Share

  One of the biggest bands in the world was once named after a Japanese porno movie.  Smart change, lads!

• Screaming Abdabs (Pink Floyd)

  Share

  “Screaming Abdabs” is apparently slang for “extreme anxiety or nervousness.”  We’re sure many record companies would’ve been nervous as to how to market a band with that name.
• Pud (Doobie Brothers)

  Share

  Out of all slang terms for male genitalia, this one is definitely the least sexy and whimsical. Way to opt for a weed-based name!

• Naked Toddler (Creed)

  Share

  Regardless of your feelings about Creed, imagine a song as poignant as “With Arms Wide Open” by a band named NAKED TODDLER!  Actually, never mind. Just don’t.
