Reddit, what is the most pretentious band name?
A friend of mine sent me a playlist with some music by Architecture in Helsinki. Does it get worse than that?

That band sucked so bad.

I respectfully disagree.
edit: About the quality of the band, not the name. The name is super pretentious. Especially since they don't like being called just "Trail of Dead"

Any band named after only a single member of the band. I'm looking at you Dave Mathews Band.

What about Jimi Hendrix Experience?

Jimi Hendrix was pretentious as fuck (he refused to play any show he didn't close, among other things), that's part of the reason Jack Bruce quit working with him. That being said, I would never deny that he was ridiculously talented, and that if anyone had a right to be pretentious it was him.

Maroon5. I mean who do they think they are? Did they form before Eve6? Is it a play on the Jackson 5? Did they have 4 previous attempts? Aren't there only 3 members? Don't they only have like 2 producers writing their songs? I feel like there isn't one good reason to choose that name
I don't know much about them but wouldn't 3 members and 2 producers make 5?
