The Stoopidist Band Mashup Ever

The 1996 book "Rolling Stone's Alt-Rockarama" book of lists and trivia contained a list entitled "100+ Alt-Rock Super groups we hope never happen". This was a list of band name mashups used to creat new stupid band names for ill advised supergroup pairings. Notable examples incuded;



Agnostic Front Line Assembly

Average White Band of Susans

Echo and the Bunnymen Without Hats

Greatful Dead Kennedys

The Husker Doobie Brothers

Iggy Pop Will Eat Itself

Peter Murphy's Law

The Scoolly dB's

The Simply Red Hot Chilli Peppers
