Goo Goo Dolls (baby want a ba ba?)
The Band (you pretty much just gave up didn't you)
Wang Chung (an hour later I still don't want to hear them)
Yeah Yeah Yeah's (Uh...NO)
The The (Oooh clever, get it?)
Kajagoogoo (baby want a binky?)
Def Leppard (just like Led Zeppelin, except we suck)

He's not really a band but I always thought musician/composer Dick Hyman had the worst show business name ever.

Or any number of 1980's hair metal and death metal bands. Helloween, Mercyful Fate, etc.

Hey Pappy,
Some of his LP titles didn't help either!

Then there are some band names that would take on new meaning because of events that followed years after the particular band formed.
Gerry and the Pacemakers
Anthrax
Katrina and the Waves

I hate band names that use alternate spellings or abbreviations to look clever:
Stryper
Inxs
XTC, but at least they didn't suck
You get the idea.
Even the Beatles would fit in this category so I'll agree with Gegantalope!

Yeah, you're right Mai Tai, I forgot about Fudge Tunnel. That's a bad, bad name.
What about Mustard Plug? What the hell is that? Gross!
I always hated John Cougar Mellencamp.
One of the best "take-offs" of a band or artist is John Cougar Concentration Camp. That's good stuff.
