words that should be banned from all band names
Romance (I can think of at least 5 bands with this in their names, all terrible)
Stars (Planes Mistaken For Stars is good. every other name with stars in it is not.)

1. I'll add..
any intentionally mispelled name, and two-word name that begins with "the" i.e. The Strokes, The Vines, etc

3. Are you serious? Some of the greatest band names ever began with "the."
Sheesh....

2. Any mis-spelled word should be banned.
As much as I love Krispy-Kreme donuts, they should at least spell it right.

10. "Beatles" isn't mis-spelled anymore.
A "Beatle" describes one of the members of the greatest pop-rock band in history: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

6. To piggyback on Brainshrub's post...
Any word misspelled with a "Z" instead of an "S."
