U2 - Come on. That'd be a crap name for a euro pop-techno band.
That band with the longest band name ever that MIKA likes. That name leaves a sneer of derision on my face that lasts for ages.

I played drums in a band called Armed Populous for a few years (not my fault - they had it when I joined them). Long story, concerning a fake Hunter S. Thompson quote, a guitarist who was still learning English and a printer who couldn't spell...
Otherwise the band that used to share gigs with Pink Floyd wins the prize IMO: The Utterly Incredible Too Long Ago to Remember Sometimes Shouting at People.

A mate played for a band called "Aeroplaza" (apologies if a former member is reading this). But man! That's a sucky name.
