Most ridiculous band names in rock

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.

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?
