If this is the list I'm remembering, there are a half dozen Minneapolis bands on there--most of which I've never checked out.

If I hadn't heard Dressy Bessy before knowing their name was Dressy Bessy, I'd still have never heard them. Glad I heard them first, because they are much better than their crappy name suggests.

Jesus, are you kidding me? I want them to play a festival so I can crash a spaceship into it.

Drive-By Truckers always annoyed me as a band name.
As did Superchunk.
Also:
anything with Thee or The(e)
Â¡Forward, Russia!
Art Brut
Buckcherry
Anything longer than 5 words
yeah, this can go on for ages.

Two bands I love with names that were initially deterring:

XTC
Fairport Convention

having never heard them, I'd say that name is about as deterring as any mentioned so far.
