  1. Of course, #1 for me will always be Boiler Room Hobo, but Wheelchair Disagreement, Jibber-Jabberwocky, Friendly Fatwah, and Control-Alt-Retreat also rank pretty highly.

  4. Hmmm... As one who listens almost entirely to Classical -- when I am not listening to sermons or lectures -- I can quite honestly say that I have never heard of a single one of these bands. They are musical "bands" are they not?

    In Him, Doc

  5. Turk, those are MONEY, baby!

    Doc, no, these are bands that exist only in my mind. The project is to come up with ridiculous (but tenable and catchy) band names for bands that do not yet exist...

  6. Step-Band is gold. And Frank has me beat: All I have is "Cream Rinse." Sounded funny at the time.

  7. Last night, I kept accidentally waking my wife because I couldn't stop laughing at the idea of a band called "Ladies and Gentlemen." At their concerts, the announcer says, "Ladies and gentlemen....LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!"

    In hindsight, it's not all that funny sans Ambien...
