The 25 Most Ridiculous Band Names in Rock History

Great top 25 list here with explanation of how the band got the name and why it's stupid. Short preview:

Nickelback
The story: Lead singer Chad Kroeger was having trouble coming up with a name, and so approached his brother, who worked at a Starbucks. Coffee was $1.95, which meant every customer who paid two bucks got-waiiiit for it-a nickel back. (It was either that or We're Sorry About the Homeless Man Shooting Up in the Bathroom.)

Why it's ridiculous: Asking cashiers at franchise coffee shops for career advice can only end in tragedy. (Kroeger suffered similar woes after getting a Wal-Mart greeter to do his taxes for him, resulting in the repossession of his house.) If you walk up to the cashier behind a Starbucks counter and, instead of ordering a Tall Sumatran, ask them to name your band, odds are you're going to get something giving-people-change-for-coffee-based.

The Best Thing You'll Read Today

Great exchange between a blockbuster manager and a customer. Completely worth reading until the end.
