Or perhaps the worst...
the truth of these matters is often somewhat hard to pin down.
My thought
exactly - ie the worst. I'd be prepared to argue that in this case the truth is easy to pin down.
Mr Anthony Wilson (they were on Factory)
said that he felt it was the worst band name of all time. A good band, but they were never going to survive the name.
Wheaty or Wilson? You be the judge.
Actually, I always thought that a band called 'Free Beer' was the worst name. Would always get a crowd, but no punter would be going home satisfied.
For the best? Public Enemy.
The best?
The Band.
I agree
but The Mothers is not far behind
I've always rather liked the name Crispy Ambulance.
I'd go so far as to say that The Wheattmeister isn't far off the mark.
There's always Bronco Bullfrog, though. And Neutral Milk Hotel.
"You're going on after...
Crispy Ambulance"
Another great HMHB lyric - and they're doing a session for Marc Riley on August 11! Yay!
It reads
slightly better than "You're going home in a Crispy Ambulance"
The thing is
they were actually quite good!
Ah there you are good doctor
Probably the only member of the NW Massive who recognised a member of The Ambulance in the same pub as our first Mingle. I was impressed.
There is only one band whose name would inspire me to plant a tree in the garden of my new house - it's now a bloody monster. That band is King Crimson, the tree a Crimson King.
Default Viral
was on a report I was looking at the other day at work.
It was mixed in with a load of genuine artists and bands.
I thought it fitted quite well
