[Amerigo Vespucci]

[WildEyedLiberal]

1. Where is Dethklok?????

[ZombieNixon]

2. Yeah, seriously.

I've got my Dethklok shirt on and everything. Why no Dethklok? x(

[ghostsofgiants]

7. Yeah, Dethklok is cleearly the correct answer.

[ZombieNixon]

9. That's brutal.

[ghostsofgiants]

12. Is DILDOS!

[ZombieNixon]

13. Don'ts know snakes from dildos abouts metals.

[TZ]

3. Spinal Tap, no question

BTW, you have now opened the floodgates..and its not even the eleventh!!!:D

[PeaceNikki]

4. Deathtöngue

[jobycom]

5. No Committments? And how do the Monkees fit in there? nt

[Amerigo Vespucci]

61. The Fabulous Stains...

...Diane Lane, in this movie, was...well...let's just say that she WAS.

:toast:

The Fabulous Stains - Join The Professionals

[Initech]

6. Spinal Tap, BUT... what about The Dewey Cox 4?

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. ...

[Cabcere]

10. As soon as I saw that you had posted on this thread, I knew what your answer was going to be.

:hug: :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Damn!

I'm predictable. :cry:

[quip]

37. My only question is: how did he figure out how to vote 5 times? And why ONLY 5 times?

I guess that's two questions. How did he figure out how to vote multiple times and why only five times, and what is so appealing about.... okay THREE questions. I have three questions for Oedi....

Hey, sounds like an MP sketch or something! :P :hi:

[csziggy]

14. Scum of the Earth

From WKRP - Hoodlum Rock episode.

[MorningGlow]

24. I just watched that ep on Hulu!

It was the first thing I went for on my first visit to the site. Just as hilarious as I remember.

"Hello. We're the Scum of the Eahhhth."

[csziggy]

71. I'd buy the DVDs but it seems they changed the music due to

copyright issues...

Now I wish I had kept all the copies I recorded. But getting them off the Beta tapes would be hard! :rofl:

[MorningGlow]

72. Yeah, I was so disappointed

Initially they said they were going to try their best to get the rights to most of the music that had been on the show, but somewhere in the middle of their effort they said "forget it". And that got the DVD set yanked right off my Amazon wish list. It's gotta have the music, man!

I had a friend many years ago who swore she'd never, EVER give up her beta machine. Pretty prescient, I'd say! I wonder if that old boat anchor still works...

[Pierre.Suave]

15. You forgot one...

The Big Fat Sinners!

My fake band back in undergrad.

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. Bon Jovi. Also N'Sync, Back Street Boys, Billy Joel, REM, Poison, Dokken, Winger, Guns N Roses

and the list goes on and on and on...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

47. one could add KISS to that list ...

I would think.

[China_cat]

17. Rock Bottom Remainders

[Z_I_Peevey]

50. Excellent choice.

G-L-O-R-I-A Glooooooo-ria!

(edited to add earworm)

[KatyMan]

18. No, the Five Neat Guys

Sample:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

62. "What's that on your shirt?"

"It's an 'N'...for NEAT..."

:rofl:

[Tabasco_Dave]

19. The Queen Haters

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwqmB3Jocmw&feature=related :headbang:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

63. Aw, HELL, I should have remembered them...

...and the irony is that I just watched the DVD last week...

"Yes, that would make me laugh..."

:rofl:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

20. The Wonders ~That Thing You Do~

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzllVlzzeuo


You,
Doin' that thing you do,
Breaking my heart into a million pieces,
Like you always do
And you,
Don't mean to be cruel,
You never even knew about the heartache,
I've been going through
Well I try and try to forget you girl,
But it's just so hard to do,
Every time you do that thing you do

I,
Know all the games you play,
And I'm gonna find a way to let you know that,
You'll be mine someday
'Cause we,
Could be happy can't you see,
If you'd only let me be the one to hold you,
And keep you here with me
'Cause I try and try to forget you girl,
But it's just so hard to do,
Every time you do that thing you do

I don't ask a lot girl,
But I know one thing's for sure,
It's the love I haven't got girl,
And I just can't take it anymore

'Cause we,
Could be happy can't you see,
If you'd only let me be the one to hold you,
And keep you here with me
Cause it hurts me so just to see you go,
Around with someone new,
And if I know you you're doin' that thing,
Every day just doin' that thing,
I can't take you doing that thing you do

[quip]

38. Good one!

Love the song; loved the movie! :hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

49. Yeah, I thought it, at least, deserved a mention in this thread --

for the record, I voted for Spinal Tap ;) :hi:

[driver8]

41. Shouldn't that be "The O-Neaders"??

I love that movie!

[driver8]

42. Damn -- posted this in the wrong spot. (Ignore)

[quip]

45. Well, yeah, but in pronunciation only!

:D

[Tuesday Afternoon]

57. for some reason ... I always see that and think --

The One-Nighters :D what is up with my brain? :yoiks:

[RetroLounge]

21. Other: Oasis...

:hi:

RL

[Mad_Dem_X]

27. !

:rofl: :thumbsup:

[Rhythm]

22. The Wyrd Sisters!!!

They played the TriWizard Ball at Hogwarts!
They were really quite a scream... even the house-elves are still talking about it!

[texas1928]

23. The Bugaloos.

[Iggo]

67. They're in the air and everywhere...(n/t)

[bbernardini]

25. You forgot Bad News.

[muriel_volestrangler]

73. Hooray for Bad News!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Badnews87.jpg

Who did a cod rockumentary about their tour in 1983 - a full year before Spinal Tap.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_News_Tour

"I could play "Stairway to Heaven" when I was twelve. Jimmy Page didn't actually write it until he was twenty-two. I think that says quite a lot."

"What do you mean - you let the dog in for free???"

[Mad_Dem_X]

26. As much as I love The Rutles...

I had to go with Tap. :headbang:

[Pendrench]

28. Either the Banana Splits or the Evolution Revolution

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2se2I70CJ0


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh6sSExynS4

[Dr. Strange]

29. Why is Spinal Tap included in a list of fake bands?

How about Bad News: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wM58YXp2x0

[TZ]

30. I was wondering when you would show up

Just be glad he didn't include Rush in his poll....;-)

[quip]

36. Whoa-- instant weepage!

[HughBeaumont]

31. The Lone Rangers.

[mitchum]

32. Konelrad

[semillama]

33. I wanted to say Spinal Tap, but I think they're a real band

Based on the fact that the actors portraying the band are really writing, playing and singing the songs. That makes them as real as KISS or GWAR.

So I vote DETHKLOK!!!!

[underpants]

34. The Archies had and actual #1 song

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Archies

[quip]

39. Good one!

I remember requesting Honey Combs for breakfast as a kid because of them. And I vaguely remember getting a thin, vinyl 45 record on the side of the package-- can't remember what song was on it. "Honeycomb, won't you be my honey"...maybe? lol :P

:hi:

[quip]

35. Spinal Tap "fake?" What the hell?!!!! Then where is The Partridge Family on this lame ass poll?

:grr: :shrug:

[Dr. Strange]

40. Aw, I think I love you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJYSu2OVCGM

[quip]

44. That's funny, because I woke up in love this morning!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=jTvUT_Hx4Dc

[Dr. Strange]

52. What the hell?!?!? Why are they performing at an Air Force base?

That is just too funny.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[quip]

55. Great catch! I guess it's cause the original gig fell through....

:rofl:

[TZ]

46. Nice post, Danny Bonaduce!!!

:rofl:

[Dr. Strange]

53. Oh, man...

that's hitting below the belt.

:rofl:

[quip]

56. What belt??????

Oh God that is a BAD photoshop job! Miracle whip, perhaps??? :shrug:

[TZ]

58. *sigh*

red x....x(

[quip]

59. BAAAAAAH!!!!ELEVENS!! You are in for a treat!

:rofl:

[TZ]

68. ...

That is just sooo S+R you know..That might be the first time in a while that a nearly nekkid man made me want EYE BLEACH...:scared:

[driver8]

43. Here is a "Steel Dragon" story for you.

I work at Warner Bros. and we did the "dailies" for "Rock Star."

I was a dailies assistant at the time and had to sit through every freakin' Steel Dragon song at least 15 times!! I know every word to every song in that movie!

[AngryAmish]

48. Wykked Sceptre

[geardaddy]

51. You forgot some:

The Mosquitoes: http://video.aol.com/video-detail/the-mosquitoes-live-in-concert/857531716

The Honeybees: http://video.aol.com/video-detail/the-honeybees-you-need-us/4263577847

Sabrina and The Groovie Ghoulies

[unpossibles]

54. Hedwig and the Angry Inch

great band.

Seriously, if you have not seen the movie and you like rock and roll (especially of the Bowie glam variety), check it out.

[BrotherBuzz]

60. Wyld Stallyns

[Bake]

64. What? You left out The Monkees!!!

:rofl:

Bake

[cascadiance]

65. Don't know if Weird Al Yankovic counts?...

He's got a lot of good parodies of stuff... His "Eat It" was pretty decent, though arguably is not a rock song.

[Iggo]

66. Josie and the Pussycats

Long tails, and ears for hats.

Come on, now!

[Deja Q]

69. The Monkees

:P

They became real, with a good deal of thanks going to the intercession of Mike Nesmith, who wanted to feel more than a con artist and had some really inventive material too...

[DarkTirade]

70. My vote would have been torn between Spinal Tap and Dethklok... but the second

wasn't an option.

I like Steel Dragon a whole lot, and even have some of their mp3s on my mp3 player... but Spinal Tap is fucking hilarious.
