Who is the most ridiculous band ever?

[PittPoliSci]

1. Fantomas ? Never heard about them.

But the Monkeys were pretty cheesy.

[Tempest]

3. Not anywhere near as cheesy as the Partridge Family

Or The Archies.


At least the Monkees could play their own instruments.

[jeff30997]

11. OMG! I forgot about those clowns.They're number one for sure.

[PittPoliSci]

6. clarification

by ridiculous, i mean incomprehensible. check out anything on the "suspended animation" album. such as the track listing.

12. a short intro retrieved from the internet by our friends over at Google

I hadn't heard of them either but now I feel like I am part of it all.



Another project formed by ambitious heavy metal singer Mike PATTON, FANTOMAS was formed after the breakup of PATTON's previous band, FAITH NO MORE. He recruited a crack team of musicians, getting Buzz OSBOURNE from THE MELVINS on guitar, Dave LOMBARDO from SLAYER on drums, and Trevor DUNN from MR. BUNGLE (one of his other bands) on bass. However, no one could have predicted the bizarre direction the band would take. Showing some influence from John ZORN (one of PATTON's heroes, as well as someone he'd collaborated with), the band makes a totally unique brand of avant-garde metal, which only a genius like PATTON could ever pull off. Their music often consists of short blasts of heavy riffs as well as a fair amount of minimalism, along with PATTON's vocals, which generally don't even say words so much as just make noises.

2. I might be off base here but I think there is bias in your methodology

I really can't pinpoint it, maybe I'm crazy.

[PittPoliSci]

9. No i'm certain it's all me (being crazy)!

:hi:

[Initech]

4. Fantomas is on the list but not Manowar?

[PittPoliSci]

8. Manowar is ridiculous.

I was at an amusement park this weekend and I saw I guy wearing a Molly Hatchet shirt, I thought that was pretty ridiculous.

[expatriot]

10. You test the limits of the English language by using the word "list" nt

[EstimatedProphet]

5. Are they that Fanta commercial?

The one where they roam the world singin "Wanta Fanta?" and curing people's thirst?
Worst. Earworm. Ever.

[PittPoliSci]

7. nope.

It's the singer from Faith No More (Mike Patton), Slayer's drummer, the Melvins guitar player, and the bass player from Mr. Bungle.

[jeff30997]

15. Oh boy ! Now I get the picture.

[enigmatic]

13. All-Sports Band

No one is even very close...

[PittPoliSci]

18. oh...my...god...

[enigmatic]

23. And they sounded as bad as they look!

If you were around in the early 80's, their only album was a record store cut-out legend; I think every record store I walked into during that time had at least a couple of theirs in their cut-out section...

[ugarte]

14. Bay City Rollers, hands down

Most ridiculous looking and sounding.

[PittPoliSci]

17. picture?

[ugarte]

26. This pic actually flatters them

[PittPoliSci]

28. what strapping young lads...

i don't think i've shuddered this much in a long time... :-)

[Kurovski]

16. The Banana Splits

And I don't want to have to argue with you kids about that...

[jeff30997]

19. But I love The Banana Splits !

Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la

One banana, two banana, three banana, four
Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more
Over hill and highway the banana buggies go
Comin' up to bring you the Banana Split show.



:evilgrin:

[Kurovski]

24. One is free to love that which is ridiculous.

Embrace that love and let it flow like chocolate syrup over the salty nuts and sweet cherries of the Universe. :-)

[jeff30997]

27. You're absolutely right !!!

Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la

One banana, two banana, three banana, four
Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more
Over hill and highway the banana buggies go
Comin' up to bring you the Banana Split show

Makin' up a mess of fun
Makin' up a mess of fun
Lots of fun for ev'ryone

Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la

Four banana, three banana, two banana, one
All bananas playin' in the bright warm sun
Flippin' like a pancake, popping like a cork
Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper an' Snork

Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la

Two banana, four banana, one banana, three
Swingin' like a bunch on monkeys, hangin' from a tree
Hey there, ev'rybody, won't you come along and see
How much like Banana Splits ev'ryone can be
Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la
Tra la la, la la la la...

Want more ? :evilgrin:

[Kurovski]

36. The question is

How much more Banana Love can the Universe hold?

[jeff30997]

39. Good question.LOL .

[GirlinContempt]

20. I'd have to say Fantomas

[PittPoliSci]

[PittPoliSci]

33. Bah... okay. Want to know my favorite Devo song?

"Freedom of Choice"

a victim of collision on the open sea
nobody ever said that life was free
sank, swam, go down with the ship
but use your freedom of choice
i'll say it again in the land of the free
use your freedom of choice
your freedom of choice
in ancient rome there was a poem
about a dog who found two bones
he picked at one
he licked the other
he went in circles
he dropped dead
freedom of choice
is what you got
freedom of choice!
then if you got it you don't want it
seems to be the rule of thumb
don't be tricked by what you see
you got two ways to go
i'll say it again in the land of the free
use your freedom of choice
freedom of choice
freedom of choice
is what you got
freedom of choice!
in ancient rome
there was a poem
about a dog
who found two bones
he picked at one
he licked the other
he went in circles
he dropped dead
freedom of choice
is what you got
freedom from choice
is what you want
(repeat)

37. We're gonna have to go box, my friend:)

Devo's first album was a classic; way ahead of it's time..

[Floogeldy]

31. Can we switch to a thread bashing Hollywood now?

That would be about normal.

[Kurovski]

35. OK, I'll start:

That made for THE TEEVEE movie about a heroic George Bush and 9/11 was a piece of crap.

Those damn Hollywood limousine liberals. When will they stop?

[LiberallyInclined]

34. where's the choice for Gwar?

[PittPoliSci]

38. oh i fucking love gwar

ridiculous as they may be...

i'm actually listening to them right now.

[enigmatic]

40. Gwar kicks ass

I saw them at The Uptown Lounge in Athens, GA the same night as The Lyres (for all you obscure retro garage band freaks) and I'm proud to say I got fake blood drenched all over me during the show..
