Cracked has compiled a list of "The 25 Most Ridiculous Band Names in Rock History," along with the story behind the names and why they're ridiculous. Emo, alternative, rap-rock, glam metal, indie- and classic-rock bands are all found on the list. Some of the choices -- such as Limp Bizkit -- are obvious, but it's still a pretty good read. Check after the jump to see the entire list, although we suggest clicking on the link to Cracked to get the full effect. Do you see any glaring omissions on the list?
25. Porno for Pyros 24. Nickelback 23. The Alan Parsons Project 22. Stone Temple Pilots 21. Matchbox 20 20. Smashing Pumpkins 19. Def Leppard 18. W.A.S.P. 17. Puddle of Mudd 16. Of Montreal 15. Goo Goo Dolls 14. The The 13. Mr. Mister 12. The Mr. T Experience 11. Panic! at the Disco 10. Limp Bizkit 9. Chumbawamba 8. Enuff Z'nuff 7. Mott the Hoople 6. Hoobastank 5. Toad the Wet Sprocket 4. Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts 3. Hootie and the Blowfish 2. Archers of Loaf 1. !!!
They could have easily made this list 100. It's late and I just forgot a real good one for this list. I'll start with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

Wow, where to begin? If they have The The on there, they really should have The Music. And I've noticed a trend of really boring band names lately. Men, Women, and Children. Parts and Labor. Shapes and Sizes. That's really as original as you can get?
