they go from high school to high class...

first and foremost, i have to recognize that one of my favorite bands, phantom planet, recently decided to call it quits after 15 years- or, take an "indefinite hiatus," which is obviously never a good sign. though i'm bummed about the break-up, i'm happy that i at least got the opportunity to see them live a few times while they were still alive and kickin'.

speaking of bands, i was reading an article the other day that was naming off some of the worst band names ever- this list included such gems as puddle of mudd, crazy town, dogs die in hot cars, and does it offend you, yeah?...and it got me thinking about making my own personal list of worst (and best) band names as i scrolled through my ipod. so here it goes! oh, and if you have any suggestions of your own, please feel free to add 'em.

WORST:
the all-american rejects
amusement parks on fire
bow wow wow
chumbawumba
crash test dummies
death cab for cutie
foo fighters
forever the sickest kids
goo goo dolls
head like a kite
jimmy eat world
kajagoogoo
limp bizkit
panic at the disco
the pussycat dolls
rage against the machine
the receiving end of sirens
someone still loves you, boris yeltsin
volcano, i'm still excited

BEST:
alice in chains
black sabbath
the brian jonestown massacre
broken social scene
coheed & cambria
collective soul
guided by voices
hallelujah the hills
hot hot heat
kings of leon
marilyn manson
moving units
ok go
queens of the stone age
radiohead
semisonic
smashing pumpkins
talking heads
third eye blind
urge overkill

looks about even, i'd say!

can we talk about how i'm going to see the nutcracker this friday and i'm majorly excited? i know, i'm lame, but i haven't seen it since i was like 8.
