What band should I become obsessed with and mention in every thread?

[Rabrrrrrr]

[Kikosexy2]

1. Boz Scaggs...

is no a band--solo artist.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. I know. Same with Montrose, really.

But they're in there just the same.

[trof]

3. Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs & The Foggy Mountain Boys

I just like the name.

[flakey_foont]

4. or

Riley Puckett and the Skillet Lickers

[AVID]

5. radiohead

[khashka]

6. Definitely Steppenwolf

You'll annoy everyone, but you'll be damn cool while doing so.

Khash.

[Bronco69]

7. The Butthole Surfers

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. LOL! Man, I haven't heard them in years!

[JVS]

8. What could you say about Foghat that would be possible to mention...

in every thread?

[MidwestMomma]

9. Foghat

As you'll have to type the name in every thread, I figure the shorter the band name the better.

Plus, it's a fun name for copycat threads, don't you think? :)

[Bossy Monkey]

10. If you're going to go 70s, The Raspberries

If you want to spoof the Oasis-thumpers, Cactus World News would be good (short-lived U2 tagalongs of the 80s). If you're at all serious and want to do a good turn to folks that deserved greater attention, I dunno, 24-7 Spyz maybe. Or just make up somebody and castigate everyone for being so uncool never to have heard of them.

[no name no slogan]

12. Oh, like the Comsat Angels

[loudestchick]

11. Definitely, the Bay City Rollers. You could also become enamored of plaid

Give it a try!

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. I figure any band that was good enough to get a Saturday morning

kid's show has to be an EXCELLENT band! Better than the Beatles! Better than Oasis, even!

[tnlefty]

13. OTHER: Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen

"and I'm down to seeds and stems again, too"

Okay, may not be for everyone, but sometimes.....

[WoodrowFan]

14. Ratt

easy to spell & you'll start some great hair band threads.

[DrGonzoLives]

15. Nashville Pussy

n/t

[GOPisEvil]

18. Or Alabama Thunderpussy

[Nevernose]

19. What if a younger member downloads one band out of curiosity?

What do you want them to think of you, and, more importantly, of Rock?

Teach the young, my friend, you have to teach the young.

[JimmyJazz]

20. Dude! Where have you been? The only band that really matters of course!

OASIS :silly: Obsess away!

[last_texas_dem]

21. Dr. Hook

We can get into deep philosophical discussions about just how tongue-in-cheek "Sylvia's Mother" really was, whether recording "Cover of the Rolling Stone" to get on the cover of the Rolling Stone was purely crass or a stroke of genius, and what psychological factors caused the group to go disco and record "Sexy Eyes" and "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman."

I'm enjoying this already. :-)

[Magrittes Pipe]

22. The answer is CLEARLY Supertramp.

:eyes:

[Nevernose]

23. A hissy fit is a sexist insult

Like calling a grown man a bitch, though not as severe. Anyone can have a conniption fit. Also, a hissy fit is usually minor, whereas a full-on conniption fit is a major fit. What the git is about doesn't necessarily matter. At least that's how we used it in the part of Texas where I grew up.

24. Magic Carpet Ride

Let the sound take you away :think:
