Likely possessing the worst band name on this list, the Butthole Surfers were a band designed to shock every sense you have. From their bizarre concerts, strange lyrics and experimental fusion of multiple styles the Surfers were never destined to be a mainstream act. Perhaps the most shocking thing about them is that they did achieve a level of commercial success in the mid 90’s; though whether they tried to or not is still up for debate. Regardless, behind their antics was a talented group of musicians whose experimental work inspired more people than one would realize.
