Even I could have done better than Smashing Pumpkins.
This should be a post about how wonderful my Mother’s Day was . . .
Because it was.
But I read the prompt for this week’s Monday Listicles and I couldn’t resist.
Ten Horrible Band Names.
10. The John Miles Band
Just kidding. But there really is a John Miles band. (That’s my husband’s name BTW)
Yup. There’s my husband. No silly. But when we met he did have this cassette.
9. Smashing Pumpkins
I’m sure there’s a story there. But I don’t know it.
8. Toad the Wet Sprocket
Once again. No clue.
7. Meatloaf
Guess this really is more of a person that a band. But still.
6. Nine Inch Nails
Just disturbing.
5. Boyz II Men
Duh. Talk about stating the obvious.
4. Bowling for Soup
Really? This was the best that they could come up with?
3. WHAM!
Okay. I love them. But still. With a name like WHAM I think an ! is superfluous.
2. Yaz
This was my college soundtrack.
I wore out two of these cassettes and have the CD in my collection.
1. The Beatles
Accuse me of sacrilege. But it’s really rather an odd name when you think about it.
Can you think of any I forgot?
Yaz is awesome. There is a rock star called Jason Becker (my husband’s name) Guess we married major celebrities 😉 happy Mother’s day!
I do not think the (!) was superfluous at all! It was the 80s!
And I love the look of your blog now! Great picture of you!
Please send and exclamation point intervention quickly! Ellen
I never thought of The Beatles as weird until just now. And really #8?
Thanks and good point !
That John Miles had a sweet, sweet mullet! I hope your husband’s hair is just as glorious!
You know, The Beetles really *is* weird if you think about it. Interesting……
Oh I can think of many you forgot, but I’ll give you one. Dishwalla. Really? What is that supposed to mean? I also listened to my Yaz tapes until they were destroyed, Upstairs at Erics is Classic!
The Beatles also made my list of “10 band names that need an editor”!!
