I've just been listening to a bit of Elton John and this has been bugging me. What the hell kind of name is Bernie Taupin (for those who don't know, the guy who wrote the lyrics to most of EJs songs)? I know he wasn't the main performer, but I still feel he should have used a stage name. Taupin sounds like toupee. I don't know what the guy looks like, but I always imagine him wearing a really bad toupee.

Can't think of any other really horribly bad names right now. Although Jon Bon Jovi sounds kind of silly I think but hey, he's sold a fair few records with it (it's not a stage name incidentally).

Slash.

Billy Ray Cyrus.
Madonna.
Gary Glitter.
Backstreet Boys is a little unfotunate, i mean, are they saying they like it up the back alley??

Boys 2 Men = Puberty?

Michael Jackson.

Fuck you, I like Slash.
Not sure if Hauser was linking MJ and B2M but here is a joke that does.

Q: Why did Michael Jackson ring up Boyz II Men?
A: He thought they were a delivery service.

I remember seeing slash on the norman gunston show.

Norman goes "So, Slash, what's with the name? Do you have a prostate problem?"

um that symbol that the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as prince used to be called was pretty sucky. And so is the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as prince.

Not really unfortunate but ill post it anyway:
Little Jimmy Urine

Marvin Gaye
HIS NAME IS GAY!!!! HAHAHHAH!!! LIKE A HOMOSEXUAL!!1! GEDDIT?!?

What's even better is that he changed that. He was actually Marvin Gay to start with.

The thing that amuses me the most about him is the fact that he was a "chronic masturbator"

I'm out of funny musicians, but here's an unfortunate movie title : Johnny Skidmarks
