"A Certain Ratio" is such a good name that I was crushed when I listened to the actual band and they didn't come close to my expectations from the name.

"A Certain Ratio" is a great name for that kind of band (it obviously wouldn't work in place of "The Stooges" or "Black Sabbath"). Still, they were a mediocre band, but that's beside the point.Here's a few from Wikipedia's "American Christian metal musical groups" category:7 Horns 7 EyesAbated Mass of FleshBecoming the ArchetypeEveryone Dies in UtahThe Handshake MurdersI Am TerrifiedMyChildren MyBrideOh, SleeperThe Ongoing ConceptRIP Rue McClanahanTantrum of the MuseWith Blood Comes CleansingXDeathstarxOkay, not RIP Rue McClanahan.

I've been seeing the band 'Girls Pissing on Girls Pissing' mentioned a lot since they're joining Kitchen's Floor on their NZ tour. I think that's a pretty awful band name.

Has anyone mentioned Her Flyaway Manner yet? terrible name. Also, apparently, terrible people. We were about 3-4 days behind them on a circuit of the south back in 2001 or so, and everyone had awful stories about them being assholes, creating problems and breaking people's stuff.

Fudge Tunnel is an awful, awful band name.

I can't believe no one's brought up Chicago's own Let's Get Out of This Terrible Sandwich Shop.
