Are KL&tWL any good in spite of their shite name? I’m imagining some prog rock monstrosity
Depends what you mean by wankiest. I listen to Half Man Half Biscuit a lot and when you think about it, that is a terrible name, but is it also wanky?

It’s terrible but it’s more twee than wanky. Oneohtrix Point Never is a wanky name
I can understand why they changed their name to the far less wanky I Like Trains.
I’d forgotten all about them - turns out they have a new album in August which is hopefully good news.

Is Car Seat Headrest a wanky name, or just a shit one?

they’re good yeah. usually more psych than prog.
some of their albums are a bit shite when they lean too hard into a concept or go a bit ‘tongue in cheek prog’ but their best albums are a lot of fun
arguably not a wanky name as it’s deliberately silly, but it’s still shit
I’d say shit rather than wanky

Death Cab For Cutie. No one ever refers to them as anything other than ‘Death Cab’.
Not even sure the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band would.

loads of techno acts have ridiculously bad names
The combination of DJ Koze’s name and the album cover of him sitting in a tree like a twat has meant I have deeply, unfairly written him off.

This thread has made me realise that you get desensitised to band names if you hear/read them enough and it’s only when you stop and think about it you realise how shit/wanky they are.
