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
Kool and the Gang of Four
Marvin Gaye Bikers on Acid
Peter Murphy's Law
The Scoolly dB's
The Simply Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Soul 2 Soul Asylum
Steely Danzig
Swing Out Sisters of Mercy
Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love and Rockets
You get the idea.
