What are the most obscene, profane and/or offensive band names you ever heard of? My votes: **Anal Cunt** **GG Allin and the Scumfucks** And what the about the most obscene that ever cracked top 40? Probably none are _really_ overtly obcene, but I guess the closest I can think are the **Butthole Surfers** , who had a hit with ‘Pepper’. ---

Well, Anal Cunt has to be pretty much the all-time most obscene band name that I’ve ever heard of, not to mention an icky visual. But there were so many bands in the same scene (are they still around?) that had names that would be offensive to a lot of people. I remember seeing a flyer in FL - back around '89 or '90 - for a band called Jesus Crust. I’m sure a lot of people would be offended by that. In high school I was in a band called the Redneck Fuckwads, but unless you were one of three people who had a copy of our demo, you’ve never heard of us. A friend of mine compared it to Jodie Foster’s Army. JFA fans, sorry, I don’t have the tape anymore either. As for really well-known bands… there’s Steely Dan. They’re named after a vibrator featured in _The Naked Lunch_, though then again a lot of the mainstream-types that buy their records probably don’t know that. ---

There was an oldies station in Lynchburg, VA, in the mid to late 90s, and one of the deejays utterly refused to say ‘The Kinks’ – he would call them ‘The Brother Davies…’ This same station had a call-in request show at lunchtime, and this one guy would ring in every day to ask for the Kinks, and he also would refuse to say their name…the lunchtime deejay was a good natured guy, and would drive the caller nuts saying, ‘Who’s that by? Eh? What?’ Odd, innit… ---

Jesus and the Gospel Fuckers NY Niggers an 80s New Wave band called the Cunts Millions of Dead Cops The Meat Shits The Clit Boys Wolfgirl, I have a 7" by Jesus Crust…hahaha…Its fucking HORRIBLE. Even by crust punk standards. There’s a bunch of offensive white power band names, but I don’t want to give fascist-assholes-who-should-die-of-SARS free publicity. Jon ---

Not quite as offensive as Anal Cunt, but: Dying Fetus Rotting Christ And a name that makes up for what it lacks in true offensiveness with sheer amusement factor: Goatwhore. ---

There was a band called **Fuck** on Matador in the late '90’s. I don’t know if they’re still around or not. My old band was called **Pisshorse**. Then I was in **The Diarrhea of Anne Frank** for a while until our booking guy asked us to change our name because it was “scaring away business.” But then he books our first show after the name change with a band called **The Shit City Dream Girls**! WTF? ---

I don’t think they’re that obscene, but I always liked Jack Off Jill, purely because it generally takes people a couple of seconds to get it. ---
